Comment on Short Story Review: Someone Else, Somewhere Else by Angela Brown

I can honestly say that I’ve never read a story told in a first person collective either. I know some royals speak in the “we” manner but reading a novel is probably a different experience altogether. For that reason alone, I’m hopping over to Amazon to check it out. Thanks for the review and bringing this to my attention.

Comment on New Release: One Bite to Passion by MaryLynn Bast by Reena

Pretty cool. I like that.

Korean and Japanese often borrow the Chinese characters. For instance, Korean has an alphabet, but you might find dates and numbers written in Hanja (Chinese characters). I’m less familiar with Japanese, since I didn’t study it in school, but even there I see Chinese symbols mixed with the distinctive arcs and loops of Japanese symbols. It’s pretty neat how three different nations have bits of commonality, yet at the same time be so different.

Then again, we see diversity like that around the world. Look at America.

To symbol means “Surrender”.

Hi Reena,
I did find that these are Japanese symbols. The one above the N stands for “Passion”. I am still researching the other symbol and will update once I find it.

Reena,
Thanks for the New Release notification. I appreciate you helping to get the word out. My publisher’s artist actually created the book cover and I have requested information on the symbols, should be Japanese instead of Chinese. I will let you know what I find out.
