Day Three Faery Rebels Blog Tour

Day three and three things I found out that RJ Anderson and I have in common by visiting her author blog.

1. We both like Dr. Who and are waiting for this season to begin this spring.

2. We are both forgetful, which impinges on our ability to self-promote (like forgetting to inform our readers when there is going to be a booksigning.)
3. She and I both like to write with the knowledge that someone else is pinned to the chair in front of the monitor and also writing.

More about J. K. Anderson




I love this cover. I like the expression on the faery's face. My conjecture is this is Knife gazing from the oak toward the manor, wondering if she will ever be able to show him her drawings.
The story reveals a great deal of growth by Knife, Paul, Wink, Thorn, and Queen Amaryllis. One of the things which caught my attention in this tale is the maturity leap not only in the younger faeries but also in the human and the older faeries.
With this in mind, I don't hesitate to recommend this to teens. They need to know that parents, grandparents, teachers and others can continue to mature. And when the teens reach whatever number they have deemed to be adult, they can expect life will still be teaching them, they will still be maturing.
To learn more about why Mrs. Anderson chose to write about faieries, read her own essay on the subject.

Faery Rebels by R.J. Anderson



I have got to meet the lady who wrote this book. I enjoyed it thoroughly and have in mind one of my young teens to give it to.

Here are a series of questions that are answered in the book:

Of what importance is a fairy's real name?

What happens when you tell a fairy thank you?

What happened to the artist and the poet who became intimately acquainted with fairies?

Why has all creativity vanished from the faery clan living in The Oak?
