Slipper Girl is a contemporary fiction by Adele Royce. Although this is the second in the series, one doesn't have to read the first book to know what is going on in the second. We meet Skylar, a Vice President of Marketing, but soon learn she has a past she'd rather keep hidden. And she's able to do just that until her estranged mother shows up in Las Vegas and threatens to topple everything Skylar has built.
I loved Skylar, the self-made woman who feels she must be perfect to atone for her past. And then, when her past came blasting in, I instinctively understood that she felt she had nowhere to turn. When blackmail and deception come rushing in, she doesn't know who to trust, so she simply trusts herself - even when I was begging her to call her father! If you love a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, has redemption and resilience, and shows you that family bonds are not to be messed with, then you'll love this story!

When Climate Catastrophe Changes Everything: A Literary Sci-Fi Journey Through Deep Time with Author Tim Weed
Welcome to another engaging episode summary from Online for Authors! Today, we dive into the creative mind of Tim Weed, the talented author behind "The Afterlife Project." Join us as we explore the intriguing facets of his novel—a complex and literary speculative adventure set in a deeply imagined future.
The Chronicles of Ordi by Alex Zenk is a high fantasy novel. The story starts hundreds of years in the past, as we meet a dwarf who finds a rare and special gem. Then, we find ourselves thrust into the future as Ordi, a dwarf mage completes his schooling and finds himself up against the darkness his people thought they had destroyed. He then finds himself on a quest.
High fantasy is not something I tend to read, but I decided to stick with it because the premise was intriguing. Can we really eliminate the dark? Will light always win? And at what cost? Would I be willing to fight for the light or take a back seat and just hope it stuck around? These are all questions I considered while reading this story. I would have liked to have gotten more into Ordi's head. And I really didn't care for the ending. It felt as if the story simply stopped moving forward with no resolution. I'm sure there will be a sequel, but I would have liked at least a bit of closure. Nonetheless, if high fantasy is your thing, consider The Chronicles of Ordi.
