World of Wazzlewoods

I got a very happy item in the mail on Friday, and now I get to review Rev. Tyrel Bramwell‘s most recent release! Now, you might think I’m referring to his recent release, Come in We Are Closed, but nope! I reviewed that here. This guy has had two releases within almost a month and a half! CRAZY! But The World of the Wazzlewoods (A Fern & Dale Fairy Tale) was a delightful read and I’m glad I didn’t have to wait longer for it. 🙂 Well worth including as a present or stocking stuffer for the seven to eight year olds! Great illustrations by Lutheran artist extraordinaire Edward Riojas!

World of Wazzlewoods

LCMS Pastor and author Tyrel Bramwell has now released a children’s book, The World of the Wazzlewoods: A Fern & Dale Fairy Tale. If you recall, he knows a thing or two about fairy tales, as shown in his Finding the Truth in Story: Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Vol. 1. 🙂 He also knows a thing about fiction, having written The Gift and the Defender, in addition to his non-fiction work, Come in, We Are Closed.

Mark of Calling

I have another new release from a Lutheran author for you! K. M. Strid now offers her debut novel, The Mark of Calling: A Tale of the Savus, and I’m quite excited about it and its series, Shadow on the Stars. Kas (Kasandra) was born in Germany and moved to the United States in her late teens. Over the next years, she translated her first story into a very broken English, which over another couple years was edited by her now husband, Josh Radke (aka Joshua Rothe of Stitched Crosses: Crusade).  K. M. Strid, her maiden name, honors the continuity of her work, as it has been a part of her life for so long.
