Hi All:
I totally enjoy the humans and their Christmas Season, what a blast! People seem so happy and they play with so many pretty things at this time of year.
My mom put a tree last night. That is too funny. I live in a cave and I have trees all around right outside. I don't understand why anyone would put one in their house? It seems an odd practice.
My mom's tree is not even real! But I have to admit it looks really nice all lit up with colorful lights that move and flash. I can only view it through her lens since I am not in your world, but I like the feeling. The music is so nice.
Humans have so many things but I think the fact that they play music and sing is my favorite. Dragons hum, but I have never learned any songs and don't really know of any dragons who sing. I need to look into that.
I like it when Loni sings too.
Anyway the reason I am writing (sorry for my rambling) is to wish you a Merry Christmas as they say on earth. I know you will get presents. I feel the anticipation and the excitement. I hope everyone gets something they like. For me one of Pazard's giant creme puffs would be a wonderful gift - so if there is a way you can send me one, please do!
I have never had chocolate, but from my mom's perspective, it is the best dark with stuff in it like nuts and berries. I wonder if there is chocolate here in Tamoor, maybe in the next book you will find out.
Take care, I will check in again soon.
As they say in the movie mom watched last night - "Merry Christmas to All and To All a Good Night"
If you could easily choose to live in another country without all the red tape and legal stuff, which one would you select and why?
Submitted by Matthew 25.
I don't think there are any other countries I really want to live in, though I would enjoy a six month stay in Italy.
This country is so big with so many places to visit and so many cultures to experience, I do not think any place has more to offer.
Places I have lived include:
New York City - an amazing and bizarre place filled with a lot of mental energy, status, control, passion and creativity. From Lincoln Center to the Metropolitan Museum of Art down the block and across the street to the mind-boggling Guggenheim. Then down to the Village for the best Gyros or drippy, greasy delicious pizza. Up to the Bronx to Arthur Avenue for the best calzon or an Italian Feast where you can feast on grilled sausage and onions, and zeppola - that Italian style fried bread that is in the shape of ball, comes in a brown bag filled with powdered sugar that fills your nose as soon as you open it. Hard to find anywhere else in the US except Chicago or San Francisco. Out to the island to watch the races at Belmont where you see the greatest equine athletes charge the field to win hundreds of thousands of dollar purses. Or out to Fire Island to experience the wild and turbulent Atlantic with its deep undercurrents and delicious puff fish and short-neck clams.
California - stunning in its coastal beauty, diverse from North intellectual creatives to the southern off the wall kind of creativity.Highway traffic that will make you rethink how you travel, shopping delights at every turn, enormous varieties of olives and almonds, wineries of every kind, and enormous elephant garlic that has its own festival. Let us not forget Disneyland - an oasis of magic and wonder for children and those that dream. This state has so much and crosses so many latitudes that it has every kind of weather. From Palm Desert to Donner Pass. I could go on for days about the wonders of California, fertile beautiful from Mount Shasta and Lake Tahoe to Monterey and the Redwoods of Santa Cruz. Just to explore California is a lifetime experience.
Arizona - a state that contains more visual beauty than probably any other - from the Grand Canyon to the Saguaro Forest, to Hummingbird heaven and the vortexes of Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon, to the amazing Quartz and gold lined roads between Prescott and Phoenix - what an incredible state.
Minnesota a land of a thousand lakes, mosquitoes the size of elephants and people who think deeply, say little and give more, and the best muffins on the planet.
North Carolina - blue sky, crisp white sandy beaches, best oysters, shrimp and sweet ice tea. The only state I have been in where chicken sandwiches may come complete with bones! Wonderful people, white washed houses and sweet magnolia trees.
Nevada - desert beauty you can only experience by living there. Las Vegas a land of gambling that offers more creative experiences to the inch than anywhere else I have ever lived and more food waste as well. I guess the word would be indulgent - that is Las Vegas. Evening skies filled with rippling pinks and purples highlighting the mountain backdrops in oranges and pinks, beautiful and breath-taking. The wild land between Vegas and Ely where jack rabbits by the hundreds cross the road. Reno a northern desert landscape with an effervescent theatre community and the Truckee River running through downtown. Here you can see Otters playing and raccoons scampering along the rocks right in downtown! What an amazing town.
And I still have not covered Montana or Alaska. The United States is the most amazing place on earth and I really don't ever want to leave it. It has every kind of beauty and every culture as well.
Okay after months of work with my artists, Jane Starr Weils and Carol Phillips, my author, Michele Avanti finally completed the first paperback edition of my book and it will be released nationally on January 1, 2008
Librarians can order it in either paperback or hardback from the two most famous library distributors - Baker & Taylor and Quality Books Inc.
I am jazzed, wait till you see some of the illustrations in this new version. You will get to see the fierce General Maltor and my dear friend Doctor Paychente.
I will do my best to upload some over the next week or two - in the meantime check out all the amazing reviews we have received on Amazon.
Also for anyone who is connected to Unity or Church of Religious Science, you might be interested to know that my story is being used with youth groups and in Sunday School classes because it is not only an interesting tale filled with adventure, mystery, magic, and fun, but it is also steeped in metaphysics (which of course my author mom has taught since 1972 - long before I was born!)
WISHING EVERYONE A DELIGHTFUL HOLIDAY SEASON - predictions for 2008 will be posted in the next few days on my mom's new Avanti Avanti blog, so if you want to know what an Astrologer / Psychic sees check it out.
May you have a wonderful Holiday Season
BLESSING TO ALL -
GreeHee
I have received so many calls from readers saying I loved Harry Potter and I love GreeHee, when is the next book coming out? Well Potemkin In Search of The Manuscript is being written as we speak.
But how do we compare GreeHee to Potter.
Potter is about a boy on earth. He is up against the most evil magician of all time - the name of which should never be spoken. Harry is the child of wizards and has inherited powers that he is learning about and how to use through the books. Harry is different, he is good hearted, he is without physical parental support - despite the astral support he receives from his parents. He has no friends but then his life begins to reveal itself to him as he goes to Hogwarts, he deiscovers friendship and is a good friend, willing to sacrifice for his friends. He lives often outside the rules if the situation calls for him to do so.
GreeHee is a dragon in Tamoor. He will also face the most evil power in his world. He is the son of the most terrible dragon in Tamoor but he is different. He, like Potter is good hearted, deep thinking, has no parental support (in his case none at all). GreeHee has never had friends and lives a lonely life until fate pulls the fairy Loni into his world and his journey begins revealing to him and the world who he really is. He discovers friendship and is willing to sacrifice for his friends. Though GreeHee does not have magical powers like Harry, he has a friend who does - Loni.
I believe the reason why readers find GreeHee irrisistable is because his story is the story of soul. Soul is who we are and when we enter human bodies, we feel separated from our real selves - the powerful, magical, limitless beings we are. We also feel different for many, many reasons. As we live our lives, fate guides us to achieve whatever we have come to achieve and when we are in sync with our powerful - divine selves, we have amazing, magical, unexpected, stranger-than-fiction experiences.
Share your thoughts on Harry or GreeHee or life. I look forward to hearing from you.
Since I started connecting with humans, I've found most live in and out of knowing who they are.
They will be one person when they're at work, another when they are with their girl, another hanging with the guys and still another when they are with their parents. What's with that? It seems like a lot of work to me.
After my journey to Wizard's Web, I realized I just want to be happy. To be me in each moment. And I want to be the best darn dragon anyone has ever known.
Now I get up every morning, look in the mirror and say "I'm so glad I am alive." I make eye contact and tell myself "You big handsome dragon you!"
Oh you may think that is ego but nope, it's pure love! I am happy to be me, the best darn dragon ever. I remind myself and it makes me feel good and when I feel good everyone around me feels good. It just ooozes out of me.
Think about it. It's the same for you. I don't care if you are fairy, giant or human, you need love and love starts right here...inside!
This is my story and I would love to share the whole journey with you. In this, Book One, I travel from my cave with a little - rather unlikely creature - a fairy princess. I fully intend to prove myself by eating her and her family when I get to her home, but I had no idea what taking this little fairy home would do to my life. Yikes! You will not believe where we went and the kind of trouble we get into.
Loni, this percocious fairy, is amazing. By chapter two she has used her magic to save my life - so let's get real, how'm I gon'a eat her?
Anyway, we go to Narsor, land of the giants, where something happens to me (can't give it all away) and this prophecy takes off.
There's a war and...well it will take five to win the final battle at the Seat of Stars in Wizards Web...if we can sustain against the obstacles, fulfill the journey, make it across the Azura Kah and overcome the unimaginable traps to get there.
Enjoy the journey and get back to me with comments.
