Sci-fi meets eco-fiction in this simply amazing story about the world we know and don't know. A gripping fast-paced adventure that involves a growing relationship between a baby right whale named Otis and the young marine biologist, Carly, that can read his mind. This high seas adventure involves many of the modern issues we all face, from the destruction of our seas, the politicians who shield the acts of destruction, and how the system can be changed with a little guts.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Joni had always been fascinated by the history of her family’s old antebellum plantation. Her ancestor’s journals were filled with stories, many involving two slave girls, the older of whom was deeply involved in the “red magic” of the Bokors. When Messalina returns from the grave on a quest of vengeance, Joni must confront the wickedness of her own family’s past, while also embracing a truth even more ancient—that she is descended from a line of Druids. Joni is the only one who stands between Messalina and her insidious plans.

God has fallen and the Devil is dead. Heaven, once paradise, now lies crumbling, ruinous and infested. It is a vile nest for an ancient evil that has its sights set on humanity. Only Death, and the peculiar band of souls that he has managed to smuggle to safety, are left to resist this threat. Can a marine commander, a samurai, a thief, and an axe-wielding highland warrior succeed where both God and Lucifer failed? Can Death finally find redemption for the most ancient of all sins?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.

The Turners have lived on Yarrow Street for over 50 years. Their house has seen 13 children grown and gone - and some returned; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit's East Side, and the loss of a father. The house still stands despite abandoned lots, an embattled city, and the inevitable shift outward to the suburbs. But now, as ailing matriarch Viola finds herself forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that the house is worth just a 10th of its mortgage.

During his years in a neural-health facility, Pat Peoples has formulated a theory about silver linings. He believes that his life is a movie produced by God, that his mission is to become physically fit and emotionally supportive, and that if he succeeds, his happy ending will be the return of his estranged wife, Nikki. When Pat goes to live with his parents, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki, and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy.

Refreshing
This local young playwright has written a story that is both engaging and encouraging. Written in the backdrop of the chaos of Chicago and the ongoing battle between the streets and the citizens, this story gives hope. It is honestly written by a young person whose life revolves around these types of people and events. But with an ending that builds our faith in what can be. Cudos Tanya Hilson on a work well done.
