ADOPT A GRANDPARENT FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

This Christmas season I would like to give some gifts to those of us that aren't always remembered. I will be assembling gifts of Arbonne lotion and foot cream all wrapped up for the holidays, and delivering them to Buckingham Smith Assisted Living Facility in St. Augustine on christmas day. There are 32 residents here, and many of them don't have family or anyone to send them gifts this year. I will personalize each gift with the first name of a donor so the grandparents know these gifts came from a real and caring person. For $20 (or whatever you decide) you can adopt a grandparent, but you aren't limited to just one! I will be adopting as well, and I would love to be able to deliver 1 or 2 gifts to all 32 residents. If you want to participate, please put a message in my inbox. Checks can be made out to me (message me for address) or you can pay by paypal at paypal.me/akimagdalenal . I can't thank all of you enough for partnering up with me on this, and helping me encourage our elderly who are often alone during this holiday season. I will personally be delivering these gifts to Buckingham Smith Assisted Living Facility with anyone who would like to join me. You don't need to be local to participate. Thank you for your support!

That horrible moment when you're looking for your glasses, but you can't find them...because you can't see. The irony is so painful.

BARSK The Elephant’s Graveyard

VICTO NGAI

It’s a great pleasure working on the cover of Lawrence M. Schoen’s new novel Barsk The Elephant’s Graveyard for Tor. This mesmerizing story set in a distant future, in which humanity is gone and forgotten, while their artificially engineered genius-animals uplifted into walking, talking, sentient beings.

The Fant are one such species: anthropomorphic elephants ostracized by other races, and long ago exiled to the rainy ghetto world of Barsk. There, they develop medicines upon which all species now depend. The most coveted of these drugs is koph, which allows a small number of users to interact with the recently deceased and learn their secrets.

To break the Fant’s control of koph, an offworld shadow group attempts to force the Fant to surrender their knowledge. Jorl, a Fant Speaker with the dead, is compelled to question his deceased best friend, who years ago mysteriously committed suicide. In so doing, Jorl unearths a secret the powers that be would prefer to keep buried forever. Meanwhile, his dead friend’s son, a physically challenged young Fant named Pizlo, is driven by disturbing visions to take his first unsteady steps toward an uncertain future.
