Hamilton Dinger has a nearly perfect life as he enters into tenth grade at Apollo Central High School. He has the grades for the top of the class, the good looks, and the charm to get away with just about anything. There is no need for him to believe in anything other than himself, and the idea of good and evil is laughable.

But all that changes when a meteorite strikes his town, and the Seven Deadly Sinisters, and their leader, Orpheus, are released. They prey on the city residents, collecting their souls for energy and nefarious purposes. As this is happening, Hamilton’s longtime dormant supernatural powers are awakened, and he discovers he is a fallen Star. And not only that, he has been called to seal away the Sinisters once more – all to Hamilton’s dismay.

As the supernatural calling interrupts his perfect life – with his friends at school, his fame on the football team, and his prestigious job at the mayor’s office – Hamilton finds a mix of relief and further aggravation in Elysian, a changeling dragon who declares himself to be Hamilton’s “mentor,” and Starry Knight, Hamilton’s infuriating, secretive, and powerful co-defender, another fallen Star who has the power to seal away the Sinisters and their soul-sucking minions.

Can Hamilton and his team find a way to work together to save Apollo City? Can Hamilton overcome his own selfish desires to find the will to fight? Find out in the first part of this epic fantasy adventure series about superheroes, fallen Stars, and high school from C. S. Johnson!

Surviving Seventeen

About Surviving Seventeen

In “Surviving Seventeen,” Jamila Coleman talks about her seventeenth year of life, and how the few years before it aided in making it as strenuous as it was. Once a promising athlete who appeared as though she was on her merry way to a lifetime of nothing but success, along with coming from a seemingly well put together, religious, two parent home, Jamila’s life looked like a fairytale from the outside. She seemed to have it all.
But that was when Jamila was a child. Upon reaching her teen years, Jamila’s life began shifting, and she was exposed to situations that were not only hurtful, but were also hard to navigate and therefore, quickly took a toll on her. Young, naive, and barely having had any real guidance, Jamila starts trying to put herself together using the bad experiences she goes through, gaining insecurities and self-hate in the process.

Even then, Jamila still remained optimistic and hopeful for the future…until she wasn’t.
Seventeen was a whirlwind that smacked Jamila in the face. From her parents sudden split, to unemployment, a mental health crisis, apparent hyper-sexuality, an extreme weight gain, and a strong crave for something that was slowly ruining her, Jamila found herself asking “where did I go wrong?” a lot more than often.
Surviving Seventeen is a personal story that speaks volumes and has the ability to touch anybody that has suffered greatly with mental health, been a victim to emotional abuse, or just simply had way too much on their plate at a young age. While it focuses on the life of a seventeen-year-old African American teenager, the bigger picture of it is diverse in the sense that Jamila’s struggles aren’t immune to the rest of us, and we can all empathize with her while also getting a laugh or two as she tells her story in an upbeat, comedic manner.

Dragon Keepers Trilogy (Dragon Keepers Fantasy Series Book 1)

About Dragon Keepers Trilogy (Dragon Keepers Fantasy Series Book 1)

Goldwell’s fantasy book series Dragon Keepers can be considered a prelude for young readers before reading the Harry Potter series. This urban fantasy series is imaginative and adventure-filled.

Dragon Keepers is a fantasy adventure series by Bruce Goldwell whose main character is Merlin the Wizard. It is written in third-person narrative. The narrative is about the fantasy life of Merlin which includes dragons, fairies, mermaids, unicorns, and other fantasy creatures popular in mythology around the world. While the story uses aspects of Arthurian legend, much of the story is based on fantasy characters and events made up by the author.

“The author has a very wise intention for choosing the fantasy world, a fantasy genre illustrates a gateway to stories and imagination that is beyond the narrow convention of this known world. The series will certainly allow the readers to escape from the reality and get back to the world of mystery. Through the characters, readers often find crisis, inequality, pain, and loss, those issues are valid and challenging ones that we are confronted with in our real world, whether as individuals or socially. More importantly, using the fantasy world, the author tries to engage more connectivity with those issues and instruct how to avoid them in a realistic setting.” – The Ritz Herald, Article April 2022
