August Featured Author: 

Cynthia Robbins, author of The Light Warrior

If you haven't read The Light Warrior by Cynthia Robbins yet, then you'll want to get a copy. The Light Warrior is available right now as a kindle download for only 99ȼ!

I had the pleasure of meeting Cynthia while attending an art fair in Silverton Oregon, where I obtained a signed copy of The Light Warrior. Before reaching the bottom of page one, I was hooked. Cynthia is a brilliant storyteller. The Light Warrior is a mystical page turner.

Cynthia was born and raised in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. She was raised on a farm providing the environment to explore and develop her creative imagination. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Western Oregon University. Cynthia professionally works with youth offenders, teaching life skills and critical thinking for more than sixteen years. She also devotes her time as a Provider of an adult foster home working with young adult men with autism.

Cynthia writes magazine articles, screenplays, and novels. She is passionate about metaphysical concepts to unbend the mind. As a Truth-seeker at heart, she is on a quest to know the greatest mysteries and to share her knowledge with others on the same path.

Lucy Hayes instinctively knows there has to be more to life then the monotonous daily grind. While the reality of high school friends and parties seem less important, Lucy embarks into the college world, hopeful to find excitement and answers to her deepest questions about the greatest mysteries in the Universe.

When Lucy meets Eli, she dives into a whirlwind of revelations that an alien invasion took place. But thousands of years ago that has haunted Earth since. With her present love and a love from another time, in seeking to illuminate the problem of evil, she learns of dark secrets, planetary conspiracies, time travel, genetic manipulation, the nature of the Universe and her destined role in disclosing the greatest mystery—that star races do exist.

In an extraordinary blending of reality with myth, magic and science, The Light Warrior refreshingly twists apocalyptic destruction, and inspires courage to overcome fears of the unknown. The reader will enjoy new concepts of the paranormal, lost ancient civilizations, spirit guides, aliens and Vampires—the Light eaters. In restoring supernatural abilities, the tale weaves together the great mysteries of our human origins and an ancient mystical world rediscovered.

Sacrifices are to be made. Lucy not only must battle the Dark Brotherhood—she must battle the war inside her heart.

Audio Books on CD

We have added some new audio book titles to our site. For newborn to adult. Over the next few days we will be adding over thirty additional titles, quite a few in the young adult range. Our business is growing so fast, I'm stumbling through memory to pass on all the news! Exciting days ahead for readers, collectors, browsers and artists alike.

We've had positive feedback from our happy customers as well as the sellers. Thank you all so much for taking the time to let us know how you feel about our store, products, and business practice. It means so much to us that everyone has a positive experience. It lets us know that we are getting off on the right foot, the one we wanted to start with and continue on with.

Audio books can be a God-send for those readers on long commutes, long-hauls, or relaxing at home. They keep children occupied in a positive way on those cross-country vacations. We intend to stock our shelves with a wide variety of audio titles.

We have also received a large lot of vintage Little Golden Books and running a special on lots of five. From Yogi Bear to Raggedy Ann, to pass on to your kids or grand-kids, all the great stories we grew up with.

New Growth

There have been a lot of changes this month. As I said before, in so many words, it's making my head spin (in a good way). Have you been by lately to see the fabulous vintage books added about animals? Some of these would make such lovely coffee table books. The spectacular photo's and information on The Great Ape's, Wild Sheep, Snakes and Mammals. There are more, but if you love animals, you'll want to see these. These books are large and heavy so we are trying to keep the price reasonable for our customers by offering free shipping.

What's bookstore news without speaking of our authors? Each month we will expose an exceptionally talented author on our website home page as our "Featured Author." There are so many out there who don't get the recognition they deserve. Searching out these authors is not only an enjoyable experience, but also rewarding. Gaining new friends and insight. It's too early to expose who's next, meanwhile if you haven't read From the Ashes, get your copy today, she'll have another book out soon.

Shelby K Morrison & From the Ashes

"Shelby K. Morrison is the author of Shattered, devout member of the Pointless Research Addicts support group, and was voted Most Likely to Be President in high school. She believes fiction should be an escape and any great escape involves a world of wonder, characters you wish you knew, and good food. She can usually be found in three places; her office, the couch or....well just those two unless an overcast day calls her out of doors. She has a particular weakness for animals, Studio Ghibli movies, and Flamin' Hot Cheetos (resulting in a frequently stained keyboard). She is not opposed to tokens of appreciation, particularly edible ones. But if you really want to make her smile, drop her a line!"
For eighteen years Aia Wynnald has lived a lie. Raised as a highborn in the Kingdom of Tharien, she’s filled her days with tutors and archery lessons. But simmering beneath her polite surface is a dangerous gift, one which she must keep a secret. Aia is a Bender. And in Tharien, Benders are feared and hunted. When her unruly power breaks free with dire repercussions, Aia’s lifelong goal of independence shatters. As she scrambles to piece her life back together while evading capture, she disturbs a vengeful force intent on destroying the kingdom. Now, with the help of an unlikely ally, Aia will decide the fate of Tharien. To rescue those she cares about will require accepting what she is. But can she risk becoming the monster she’s dreaded to save the very citizens baying for her blood?

Maws Cards & Creations has joined our team with some wonderful handmade cards. She puts a lot of care into each one she makes. What I find so amazing is that each card is different. I can't tell you how many times I've given a card to someone who received the same card from someone else. Or what about when you duplicate the same card to someone two years in a row—or am I the only one who's done this? It's embarrassing to say the least!

Among my favorite cards that Maw creates, are the tea cards—a thought with a personal touch. How sweet is that? It would be fun to receive one of these cards to brighten the day, especially when your ill.

She has a large variety, but will take special orders as well. Why not stock up for the whole year? Contact us through our site and we'll tell you how to order yours.

What to look for in July:

Aside from the amazing fireworks display that we always enjoy in our beautiful town of Lakeside, Oregon, we have shipments coming in. Hand Made Greeting Cards, Jewelry, Seat Belt Wraps, more books and other unique gifts.

It's so nice to send a one-of-a-kind card. Or give a gift that can't be duplicated. Or receive a compliment on a pair of irreplaceable earrings. The pride of owning something that wasn't made by a machine, but rather labored over with careful, thoughtful hands. They may be similar at times, but never exactly alike. That is the beauty of hand-made products.

And speaking of beauty, we happen to have a complete line of face and body creams made with all natural ingredients. The healing effects of Judy's Kissed by Mother Nature Products will have you hooked. Contact us to learn how to get a free sample.

Morrison Books will be displaying more and more of these one-of-a-kind items in the coming weeks. We are so excited to share the new talent we've discovered. What was once only enjoyed by local Oregonians is now being offered World Wide!

We are selecting from some of the most talented and unique crafts that we encounter on our trek across the state of Oregon (both on foot and on-line). The only exception to the "Local talent rule," is our authors who are coming from all over the United States. This is not a rule we regret breaking.

Don't forget, if you have a talent you'd like to share, please go to our submissions page and let us see your work.

Thank you for your interest in our bookstore. Please visit us often.
