Description

<p>Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. &quot;As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.&quot;</p><p>There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails ... (Love &amp; Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.</p><p><strong>A Sign</strong></p><p>In the depths of my winter</p><p>I heard a small bird -</p><p>Braving the cold,</p><p>Bringing the word.</p><p>He gave my heart hope</p><p>As I heard him sing -</p><p>Three little notes</p><p>Promising spring.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon, a former teacher and grandmother of 10, is the author of nine acclaimed rhymed children's stories that have received 48 national and international book awards between 2011 and 2017. Also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, her works have been performed internationally in over 20 countries. Most of her children's books try to teach something, such as good manners and caring for others. Married for 57 years, she and her spouse are now retired, live in Pennsylvania, and travel in their RV from coast to coast, spending time with their children and grandchildren.</p><p><strong>Publisher's website: </strong> http: //sbprabooks.com/SherrillSCannon</p><p> </p>

Story Behind The Book

The story behind my debut novel's creation is an interesting one. All I can say is that many many years of blood, sweat, and most definitely tears have finally paid off. The Lost Immortals is not only a story of hope, but it is also a tribute to a woman who inspired me to dream. Someone who told me to go and ask the flowers, but have a pen ready when they answer you. She was a woman whose memory will live on in my heart and in my story forever. The Lost Immortals is for my boys, readers, betas, writing mentors, school teachers, professors, mothers struggling to find a voice...but most of all it's for my grandmother, Nezzetta Tomlinson Wall.

<span class="readable"><span><font size="3">What reviewers are saying:<br /><br />The story gripped me from the first page and didn't really let go until the end. It is set in a dystopian society masquerading as a Utopian society in the not too distant future. It blends science which is achievable today with celestial entities and their associated magical capabilities seamlessly.&quot; - Darkiss Reads<br /><br />&quot;There is a lot of action and when you think you see where the story is going, KaSonndra Leigh throws a curve ball and you suddenly have no idea what will happen next! I loved that about it, predictable is no fun. The unique spin on angel myhtology was absolutely fascinating and the dystopian theme was woven really well into the mythology.&quot; -V's Book Life<br /><br />&quot;KLeigh's Angels are spectacular! They are hardly feathered but more like those warrior angels from the movie Legion (2009). This is not a Nephilim story either, KLeigh created a world of her own, she owns Corunum the same way Suzanne Collins owns Panem (Hunger Games). That's how vivid and detailed the story is.&quot; --Talk Supe Blog Spot<br /><br />&quot;It is heavily intriguing and a wonderfully written story about Seraphim, Cherubim, the Caduceans and the Tainted. Her world seems almost magical in thinking that there is a world beyond what we know and perceive. I'd tell you more, but this is one I would recommend reading to get the whole story first hand.&quot; - Picked by Poison Reviews</font></span></span>
