Wakela Runen's World

Book Description from the author’s website Thoroughbred racing brings together all ethnic types in a unique temporary democracy where stable hands may interact with the very rich. But when tough, shrewd construction mogul and thoroughbred owner Pat McGoohey makes talented, mahogany-skinned Len Thomas his trainer, he breaks with protocol. With Len comes the strange, funky and mystical horse-whisperer, Paco. Lacking good ponies, McGoohey develops a driving obsession to have his mare Arabiche bred with a champion stud owned by a Kentucky blue-blood steel magnolia. The mating can't happen until Arabiche gets some better results, and the owner tasks his boys with a good showing in a very big Saratoga race where the Kentucky lady will be present. Len's job is in jeopardy because Arabiche just isn't up to it, and he's determined to get results. Paco makes it happen, but McGoohey is humiliated by the Kentucky lady and he goes illegal. Len doesn't like it, bu

Book Description   I still hadn't fully absorbed the terrible possibility that I might actually be a werewolf. A werewolf. I kept stumbling over that word; it made no sense to me. How could I be a werewolf? Werewolves didn't exist. When Tobias Richard Vandevelde wakes up in hospital with no memory of the night before, his horrified mother tells him that he was found by the police. At Featherdale Park. In a dingo pen . As if that isn't weird enough, suddenly a very menacing looking guy and a priest show up at his door. As the mystery unfolds, Toby finds himself keeping company with some very strange and sickly looking people - members of a suburban vampire support group. And when he's abducted in broad daylight, he will need all their help to break free ... and to come to terms with his own incredibly rare condition.   Book Review   This is the second book in a series.  I did not get the chance to read the first book.  There were a few places where th

Book Description   The biblical gospel is like a three-legged stool: a story that climaxes with an announcement which births a community.  Deny one or more of these components and you have a counterfeit. Counterfeit Gospels exposes six common versions of the "good news" that fail to do justice to the biblical portrait and thus leave us impoverished rather than empowered for ministry. By exposing the counterfeits and explaining the biblical gospel, this book will help Christians gain clarity on the gospel and challenge them to accept no substitutes. Book Review   Just as passing counterfeit currency around can undermine a government, passing around counterfeit gospels can undermine Christianity. Trevin goes on to explain the three prongs of the gospel and how to truly understand the true gospel.  He points towards Biblical references to show how certain gospels that people take as being true are in fact counterfeit gospels.  And he shows us how to find the truth.

At first when I heard interactive fiction, my mind flashed back to the Choose Your Own Adventure series of the 1980s.  This book wasn’t as interactive as that.  It was more like choose your own ending.  Bit it worked for these stories. The stories are about fr

Book Description   A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Harrison, famed paranormal investigator. The six members he's gathered know a little of the otherworldly—each has honed a psychic talent of their own. Jackson Crow, part English, part Cheyenne, heads the group. Haunted by his experience with an ancestral ghost who saved his life as a child, and the recent murders of two previous teammates, Jackson can't tell if Adam's demoted him or given him an extraordinary opportunity. Despite his link to the realm of spirits, he's well aware that the living commit the most heinous crimes, with spiritualist charlatans existing merely to fool and seduce the unwary.
