Jared Nathan Garrett's "The Seer"...A Book Review

 Do you believe in magic, and by magic, I mean...Biblical?

If you do or even if you don't, you will find plenty of magic in Jared Nathan Garrett's The Seer. 

We first meet Nathan Eckhoff on an archeological dig in Egypt where, after weather and construction destroys the site where the crew are working, Nathan comes into possession of an ancient artifact--a cloak belonging to Joseph of Egypt, the same Joseph sold into slavery by his brothers, the same Joesph who saved the kingdom after interpreting Pharaoh's dreams. 

Nathan leaves Africa and returns to his home in San Francisco. Only then does he not only realize he has the cloak, but also its former owner. Before he decides what should be done with the artifact, he finds out this is no ordinary garment. It possesses special powers, powers that not only keep Nathan from harm, but also puts him into dangerous situations including several assassination attempts.

The story is fast-paced, exciting, and full of unexpected twists with a conclusion that mingles intrigue, danger, and a dash of romance. The fun is trying to figure out--as does Nathan--just what powers the cloak has. Will Nathan figure it out as well? Will the baddies get to it before Nathan can escape?

Give Thanks...Creative Friends

 Years ago, I read so many books. I downloaded and listened to the audiobook version. Some don't count that as "reading" but those who do are wrong. It's been a while since I literally (and I'm using the work "literally" correctly...) picked up a book and read it. That changed recently.

The book I chose:

Jared Nathan Garrett's The Seer.

This post isn't about the story, because I'm only halfway through--I know, I need to read more (baby steps...). What I'm thankful for today is that I consider Jared a friend, as I do with many local authors. As a group, they are some of the kindest, most talented people I know. They are generally interested in the writing careers of others and they want them to succeed. That's rare. 

Of the local writers I know, I'm probably one of the least-generating ones, but still they are interested in my works in progress and I know they are pulling for me to get my butt in gear and start seriously producing more content to read.

I'm thankful that I can attend a local writing conference and be accepted by a group of such talented people. I'm thankful that we live in a time when a person, with nothing more than a dream and determination can produce physical books that can offer entertainment for others.

It's a wonderful time to be alive.
