Spellbound – Tricia Drammeh

Just discovered this awesome review of Spellbound on Jo’s Book Reviews. And guess what? She reviewed Firebound and Unbound too! I’m honored and amazed by Jo’s kind words. What a wonderful surprise.

The lives of Rachel and Alisa, one of the popular girls and the school outcast, will never be the same once new boy Jace moves into town. Though both girls are instantly attracted to him, it’s Alisa, the loner, who gets taken home to his family – not as a date, but as the girl who helped him fight off hunters, monsters who devour magic.
Jace’s mother reveals that they are Spellbringers, a magical race descended from Faes, and they’re in town seeking an innocent; a Spellbringer who doesn’t know about their own heritage. Sadly for Alisa it isn’t her, but that doesn’t stop her from befriending – and falling for – Jace. even though his older brother certainly doesn’t approve.
Then, at the school dance, Jace finds the one they’re looking for, the innocent. It’s Rachel. Their hearts and minds touch and there is no question that they belong…

I am writing this post today as part of the 1000 Voices for Compassion campaign by bloggers all over the world. The goal is to have 1000 bloggers speak on compassion today, February 20, 2015 . Here is my contribution to this amazing project.

1000 Voices Speak for Compassion

IMG093I am one person, and my life is small. I live alone with two cats, one IMG_0001whom I adopted as a stray, and the other whom I adopted from a nursing home that sadly had to get rid of its therapy pets due to allergies. (If adopting them was an act of compassion, then it was one from which I profited.) My acts of compassion, like my life, are also small.

I work in a bookstore. Some of my customers use wheelchairs, and some others have “brand new people” in carriages or strollers. It’s a small thing for me to ensure that the floors are clear…

I just discovered the 1000 Voices for Compassion Facebook page, and the call for those so moved to participate in one day of good, healthy, loving ‘speak’ in the world. If you’re not a blogger, you can write a post or essay about compassion and go to http://1000speak.wordpress.com/ for help to get it posted, or email 1000Speak@gmail.com to be guided. Or you can tweet on Twitter under the #1000Speak hashtag to participate.

The fear today is that compassion has gotten lost in the world’s present nature of anger with rage, arrogance with greed, and superiority with dominance. But fortunately I have found it hiding in many places. I was recently blessed with an abundance of compassion during a recent illness. Not only the cards, flowers, phone calls, and offers to help, but the people in the hospital who went well beyond their work requirements. They are the quiet people, doing…
