![]() But as summer unfolds, every day seems to get more complicated. ![]() She can't wait to head to the lake with her best friend, Micah. "Jo Knowles's luminous Where the Heart Is shows how life for a thirteen-year-old can be confusing, heartbreaking, and joyous all at the same time." - Alan Gratz, best-selling author of RefugeeĪbout the Book: It's the first day of summer and Rachel's thirteenth birthday. "This book is a gift to every kid who feels stuck between who they were and who they might want to become." - William Alexander, National Book Award-winning author of A Properly Unhaunted Place "An immensely appealing, hard-to-put-down story about friendship and love, heartache and bravery - and, above all, family." - Rebecca Stead, author of Newberry Medal winner When You Reach Me ![]() Award-winning local author Jo Knowles is publishing her 8th novel, Where the Heart Is, and we're throwing a party to celebrate! Come hear about her latest middle grade novel, and help us celebrate this brand new gem of a book. ![]() ![]() It was Michael Bookbinder, the Warrior-Priest, who taught me the concept of spiritual laws, of immutable, deep principles that we can apply to help overcome the hurdles on our life path. “I’m so happy to be able to acknowledge the four mentors who contributed to my own work. He gives us a taste of the four mentors who guided him on his spiritual quest. This deep dialogue explores the spiritual journey of a peaceful warrior and uncovers many spiritual laws in everyday life. Other times, they quietly transmit practical wisdom for living wisely and well. Sometimes they teach “ Crazy Wisdom,” or they throw hurdles in our way. These encounters with great teachers inspire our spiritual quest in a myriad of ways. Often, we discover these laws through various mentors we have met along the way. They rest within our hearts and at the heart of every religion and spiritual tradition. Like the law of gravity, there are universal laws of the Spirit that are available to all of us. ![]() ![]() It is as epic, as game changing, as moving and brilliant as any science fiction novel ever written. “ Wild Seed is a book that shifted my life. With their idea for a TV series, and the Butler estate’s blessings, the project was taken to the marketplace with multiple bids.” “JuVee had pursued the rights to the book for over two years, but it wasn’t until they identified rising talent Kahiu, who was tapped to direct as well as write the pilot with her friend and colleague Okorafor, that the vision became clear on how to turn the beloved book into a TV show. The report says the identification of rising star Kahiu was a catalyst. Doro, a killer who uses his power to breed people like livestock, encounters Anyanwu, a healer who forces him to reassess his millennia of cruel behavior: for centuries, their personal battles change the course of our world as they struggle against the backdrop of time - master versus slave, man versus woman, killer versus healer. The description, per Deadline, which first broke the news: Wild Seed is a love (and hate) story of two African immortals who travel the ages from pre-Colonial West Africa to the far, far future. ![]() The project will be written by author Nnedi Okorafor and Kenyan filmmaker and Rafiki helmer Wanuri Kahiu. They will be developing Wild Seed, the first of Butler’s Patternist sci-fi series. The project comes to the streaming service courtesy of Viola Davis and Julius Tennon, whose JuVee Production has a first-look deal there. ![]() ![]() Amazon is developing an Octavia Butler novel as a drama series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Where I find Injection so bewildering is how this missing ghost/cannibalism case ties into the storyline of the rogue artificial intelligence. That said I found the second book more accessible than the first mostly because this one follows Detective Headland and his tough guy butler Red as they investigate the weird case of a rich dude, the ghost of his mistress, and his dead son it’s still nutty but less abstract than the overarching storyline and more enjoyable too. The Moon Knight creative team of Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire continue to produce an interesting but mystifying story with Injection Volume 2. ![]() But what does a stolen ghost and a slab of human bicep meat have to do with it? ![]() Detective Vivek Headland and his colleagues, who created Injection, are trying to find it while another group, Rubedo, are trying to capture it, believing it’s the Philosopher’s Stone.
