ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I live in Columbus, IN with my amazingly supportive husband, two incredible step-kids, two crazy cats, and the laziest greyhound 💜

I sincerely hope you enjoy the story of Iadore & Ilove. This is the first book in my Magical People series.

I'm thrilled to share the review by booklife:

The first in Hammack’s Magical Peoples series packs emotion and adventure into old-fashioned fairytale storytelling suitable for all ages. King Roland of Westland is on the verge of war with his twin brother, King Richard of Eastland. To protect his people, Roland moves his entire population to a cavern in the mountains. Unbeknownst to him, he has stumbled onto the land of the fairies. Overcoming her distrust of humans, fairy Queen Gemeenah embraces the new arrivals, explains how they can live in harmony, and sets up a co-equal government with King Roland. When Roland’s queen Isadora delivers a baby girl, Roland exclaims, “I adore you already beyond all words,” inspiring her name: Princess Iadore Daisy. When six-year-old Iadore suffers a fatal injury, Gemeenah revives her with her fairy light, bestowing Iadore with the fairy powers of speaking with animals and making plants grow.

Hammack imbues this gentle story with minimal conflict, focusing instead on magical wonder, love of nature, a righteous king (Roland invents representational democracy!), and the emotional connections between family and friends. The cheerful tone and language are inspired by older bedtime storytelling traditions: “Nectar flowed in all the cups,” Hammock writes, of a celebration. “Every dish of food was devoured. Everyone agreed this was the most joyous festival yet.” Sprinkled throughout are stories about dwarves and giants, other visitors to the fairyland, and Iadore’s distant descendant, a young girl named Ilove, who speaks to the animals and can see fairies. Ilove learns about her ancestry and plays an important role in dispelling a magical enchantment.

With fairytale innocence, broad world-building, and scant descriptions, the book allows readers to fill in the blanks with their own imagination. Love and understanding between different races and between children and parents provide a comforting message of compassion and empathy. This simple story of brave and sympathetic characters is suitable for readers of all ages.

Takeaway: A gentle fairytale in the classical mode, suitable for all ages and bursting with magic, fairies, and love.

Great for fans of: Gail Carson Levine’s Ella ENchanted, Juliet Mariller.

Anthony Williams Jr. is an advocate for mental health along with being an established author for younger readers. Self-admitted as a troubled teen, he now dedicates all his time to helping the younger generation as a mentor, trying to stop them from making the same mistakes he did. As a military officer, Williams learned the importance of mental health and building foundations of trust.

His writing tends to encourage readers that struggling is universal and they are not alone in life.

The Girl From Chapel Hill: Her Journey of Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom 


by Vanester M Williams  (Author)

Growing up, Laura never knew her father or even his last name. Many years later, an encounter with a stranger would drastically impact her life and cause her to question her own identity. Then through a spiraling chain of terrifying events, she learns there's an unknown enemy who appears to stop at nothing to do her harm. Meanwhile, she carries a painful burden of a dark haunting secret, hidden unforgiveness, and low self-esteem.

Her story begins and ends with reflections on lessons she learned from her dear mama (her maternal grandmother) who reared her from birth. Embracing these lessons of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness would often be challenged as she journeyed from victim to victory toward freedom. Even though her thoughts often turn to Mama's faith and these lessons, she finally declares, "Enough is enough," and uses her own measure of faith to survive in a life so filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. At every juncture, one thing remains the constant-the ever-loving presence of God.

If the stranger's information was based on facts, Laura knew her mind would soon find its way frantically going down a rabbit hole in search of "who am I?"

Afterward, Laura catches her breath and helplessly stares at Tina and asks, "Will God still love someone like me, someone as awful as me? Will He ever forgive me for that awful, fateful night?"

The Girl From Chapel Hill is a must-read and page-turner. Although it is fiction, Laura's (the Girl From Chapel Hill) journey of faith, forgiveness, and freedom anchored in Biblical Scriptures can teach and aid readers through their own spiritual journey. At the conclusion, you will definitely assess where you currently are in your walk with Christ Jesus. Congratulations to the author, Minister Vanester Williams may you continue to bring forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a creative way.
Your Sister in Christ!

I just finished this book and really enjoyed it. I loved the “twist and turn” suspense. Wanting to know what would happen next, kept me reading until the end! I love the way the author included so much scripture and application. Very inspirational! Looking forward to Vanester’s next book.
