I have the pleasure of hosting the multi-faceted author, Joyce A. Anthony. Joyce will be featured here today and January 18th.
Joyce is the author of “Storm”, a spiritual fantasy. She also has two books to be released in 2009: Spirit of the Stallion and Shattered Rainbow. Joyce lives in PA with her teenaged son, good friend, and mini-zoo. She is a homeschooling mother, photographer, genealogist, animal advocate and psychologist, as well as a freelance writer and editor. In addition to all this, Joyce answers questions as an "expert" on bipolar disorder at AllExperts.com and is currently working on two additional blogs--one for bipolar disorder and one for Asperger's Syndrome.
Here is a blurb from “Storm” to wet your appetite:
Who he is and why he's here is a mystery even to Storm-a mystery that can only be answered within the whirling rainbow. His search puts him in touch with many of society's forgotten people; he changes their lives and heals their souls. When he finds the answer to his identity, the world is changed forever. You'll ask yourself: Is it only a fantasy--or is it real?
And if that isn't enough, here is a wonderful review:
What a breath of fresh air this book is! In an age when “God” has become a four letter word, and in a contemporary society that by and large considers all things Biblical to be babble, author Joyce Anthony brings us home to all things spiritual and meaningful with this charming and insightful story. Her boldness of faith is evident throughout and admirable. Also impressive as I read “Storm” was her depth of understanding of human nature, psychology and spiritual condition.
As a literary work “Storm” is well crafted; Anthony is definitely a gifted writer who can capture you and transport you into the sights, sounds, smells, feelings and aura of a different world and make you feel as if you really know the characters involved. I don’t want to spoil the fun for potential readers, so I will not divulge the plot. However, I will tease you with this: it is the greatest true story ever re-told before it comes true.
Plan on a few hours of uninterrupted trance-like reading, you won’t want to do anything else except keep turning the pages once you’ve started. Get ready to examine yourself, our society, and our world as it relates to its’ creator. There are many sad truths in this book. But in the end, the truth will set you free.

Good post! And what a wonderful review - who is that guy? (smile)
Storm IS a wonderful book. And Joyce is just as wonderful a person.
Hey, Marvin,
It's a bird; it's a plane. No, it's Marvin the Reviewer! Thanks for stopping by. Great review!
Good review. I wasn't sure what a "spirtual fantasy" was but I see from the info what it is. Thanks for introducing Joyce to us. Keep up the good work - E :)
Joyce is an interesting person and writer. She's a great part of the blogging team.
Thanks Eysabeth and Vivian for stopping by.
I wasn't sure what a spiritual fantasy was either. You learn a lot through these tours.
Great review and post!
Thanks, Karen--and thanks for stopping by everyone :-) We honestly couldn't figure out exactly WHAT to call the genre of Storm, so settled on spiritual fantasy. Of all the reviews I've goten for Storm, Marvin's line "it is the greatest true story ever re-told before it comes true." is my absolute favorite!
