DreamHoppers is a fantasy adventure novel about four young teens, a cat, an elephant, and a blue boy who they meet one mystifying night in a fanciful dream. Each night the dream evolves and changes. As time goes on, the confused teenagers come to believe that the purpose of the dream, if there is a purpose, is to take charge of the youngest, a boy who calls himself Prince Raj. They promise to help him escape his dream castle prison. Alex, the skeptic, finds the confusing world of dragons, and elephants, and blue boys, and talking cats, proof of his skepticism of the supernatural. The dream is nothing more than a product of his imagination. Events prove him wrong, however, when he meets Leila Bhati, one of his dream companions at a library in real life. Alex and Leila begin to realize that their dangerous nightly dream won’t end until they somehow manage to convey the sickly Prince Raj to his lost father in the White Palace. But most importantly they pledge to protect Raj from mysterious flying assassins who chase them aggressively across a magical landscape. But why? Alex wonders why a group of beastly dream assassins want to hurt and kill an innocent young child of ten. The DreamHoppers plan to find out.

Download and read online ebook The Writer's Body Lexicon write by Kathy Steinemann. This book was released on 2020-06-17. The Writer's Body Lexicon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Ordinary writers describe the body in order to evoke images in readers’ minds. Extraordinary writers leverage it to add elements such as tension, intrigue, and humor. The Writer’s Body Lexicon provides tools for both approaches. Kathy Steinemann provides a boggling number of word choices and phrases for body parts, organized under similar sections in most chapters: • Emotion Beats and Physical Manifestations • Adjectives • Similes and Metaphors • Colors and Variegations • Scents • Shapes • Verbs and Phrasal Verbs • Nouns • Prompts • Clichés and Idioms Sprinkled throughout, you’ll also find hundreds of story ideas. They pop up in similes, metaphors, word lists, and other nooks and crannies. Readers don’t want every character to be a cardboard cutout with a perfect physique. They prefer real bodies with imperfections that drive character actions and reactions — bodies with believable skin, scents, and colors. For instance, a well-dressed CEO whose infrequent smile exposes poorly maintained teeth might be on the verge of bankruptcy. A gorgeous cougar with decaying teeth, who tells her young admirer she’s rich, could spook her prey. Someone trying to hide a cigarette habit from a spouse might be foiled by nicotine stains. Add depth to your writing. Rather than just describe the body, exploit it. Build on it. Mold it until it becomes an integral part of your narrative. “… a timeless resource: You’ll find advice, prompts, ideas, vocabulary, humor, and everything in between. But more importantly, it will make your characters stand out from the crowd.” — Nada Sobhi
