For those of you who have enjoyed reading my fantasy novel "Stream Reader" you can now go to my website to read further tales. These are an enrichment of characters, whose backgrounds aren't explained in the books, they will reveal motivations of the characters, and when they meet Sarian the protagonist in "Stream Reader".
For me they are how I understand and bring these characters to life and twine all the characters in the book together.

The first is "A Tale of Gerough to Gruff". He is integral to the story being he becomes Sarian's 'secret' combat trainer. Meet him and see what his life is like before Sarian, and you will understand further the fine intricacies of people on each other's lives.

      Gerough looked over the town from his position on the turret. He could knock off soon. He’d only managed a few hours’ sleep between the tavern and his shift. Still without the tavern likely he’d not have slept at all.

I enjoyed this book by Jemaja Lindner, Author very much, and I am looking forward to her soon to be released second book.

Jemaja writes next chapter with new novel

Local 23-year-old Sunshine Coast author Jemaja Lindner, Author is set to release her second novel at The Little Book Nook-on little main in Palmwoods.

Jemaja moved to the coast 10 years ago, having grown up on acreage. Her imagination thrived while running through the forests of her childhood home. This is where she found true connection with nature and the magic she entwines within her stories.

Jemaja’s first published words were in 2019 during work experience for the Sunshine Valley Gazette, with an article about the Blackall Range Independent School where she attended. She started writing her debut novel, Till the End of Time, at just 15.

Now set against the beautiful backdrop of The Little Book Nook in Palmwoods, her second novel, The Fate of Addie Monroe, is set to launch on Saturday, October 31st at 10:30 am. This story is a low-fantasy, new adult coming-of-age novel exploring identity, first love and finding the courage to decide who you are for yourself.

“This book’s message is incredibly important to me,” says Jemaja. “I’m looking forward to sharing it with readers.”

Soon I'm going to start writing short side stories on my website, anyone can read, that will give greater insight into them, I'll let you know when I have one up.

Please, do any other dog owners have a dog who wants their owner to sit with them and hold their bones for them? This is Thea and she will stare at me sadly till I succumb to her request, she will initially hold it herself but then requires assistance, sometimes with endearing sad face, sometimes she will bring the bone to me and drop it in my lap, at other times she will literally throw it at me, if I ignore all requests she will stare and periodically bark at me... obviously dog wins 99 % of the time. She ignores all lectures I give on the important tasks I have to do, like writing my second novel with 'teenager' bored face...
