Fear of Rain ReviewHaving grown up in Johnstown it was very cool to read a tale filled with places I recognized and have visited dozens of times. Robert Jeschonek weaves a fantastic tale around the three great floods that actually tore through Johnstown, starting in 1889 up through 1977. The antagonist is eerie but his old-fashioned morals make him sort of likeable and you can understand his motive. The young protagonist is the polar opposite, young, fresh and hip but every bit as clever and creative as her elder. Mr. Jeschonek crams alot of story into a short tale. Whether you are a native of Johnstown or from the other side of the planet, you will find this a fun, wickedly twisted tale that will have you wondering nervously the next time you hear rain drops fall.Fear of Rain OverviewReviews"It's a magical tale, well told with some wonderful imagery." - Gareth D. Jones, New Review, laurahird.comRobert T. Jeschonek "sees the world like no one else sees it, and makes incredibly witty, incisive stories out of that skewed worldview." - Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Starship series Product DescriptionA British Fantasy Award nominee.Thanks to the sorcerous Mr. Flood, Johnstown, Pennsylvania has drowned three times...and the fourth time will be the charm. By the time he gets done flooding Johnstown, the city will vanish beneath the waves forever...unless his flood-making apprentice, Dee, has anything to say about it. Refusing to let the fourth flood sink Johnstown, young Dee uses her own powers against her wicked mentor, setting off a battle of magic rainmakers in the heart of the raging storm. Will thousands of people drown in the ultimate deluge? Will madness and destruction doom Johnstown to an eternal watery grave? Or will hope and heart turn back the tide of history, striking a blow against darkness and disaster? Who'll stop the rain? No one, if Mr. Flood gets his way.This fantasy masterpiece made waves around the world, winning a British Fantasy Award nomination and taking Russia by storm.

Under Man's Spell ReviewAuthor JK Muta weaves an emotional and social awareness novel Under Man's Spell. I want to acknowledge the event that takes place in Under Man's Spell is based on actual events and/or practices in Tanzania, Africa. The emotional and spiritual battles these women, Pili, and Esta endured is simply heart wrenching; as readers will witness with these strong and tenacious women.
Admittedly, I had to stop reading several time to offer up prayers of thankfullness, as I was blaringly, aware of how blessed I am as a woman, having at my disposal, -- modern day gadgets, and my social and political freedom. It was at times hard to comprehend the horrid events that has/had taken place in the lives of women.
Although times were difficult for these women- they are not embittered by the harshness and realities of their world. They are survivors and some will become protestors. The few in numbers; the women will unite in an effort to bring an end to the injustice of superstition (witch craft) practices such as the burning women who were thought to be witches and the murdering innocent albino babies. The book concluded in an open-ended manner, leaving readers to believer a sequel will soon follow.
