As always, A MILLION THANKS TO ALL MY 

PATREON SUPPORTERS!

I COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU! 

One of our dear Patreon members Seeker has recently traveled to Moscow. Seeker comes from one of the most well-to-do and prosperous countries in the EU. This was a business trip, during which he represented his country at the international agricultural expo, and his view of the modern Moscow is from a rare perspective, that of a business traveler.

I’ve written a number of articles in the past, with pics showcasing various facets of the cool, traditional and historic Moscow (you’ll find them on LadaRay Blog, and some on FT). What makes Seeker’s contribution truly rare and invaluable is that you won’t glean the perspective he offers from me (since I am not a corporate business traveler), nor from any others, who do travelogs and travel videos.

The insider images are spectacular, especially those of the new Moscow-City architecture (aka, Moscow International Business Center)! Just love it!

MANY THANKS TO SEEKER!

I am so happy I can provide this opportunity for the dear to my heart members of our community to share their countries, travels and world adventures! I plan to do more in the future! If you are my Patreon Patron and would like to feature your exciting traveling or your country’s photo or video story on my Patreon site and possibly also on FuturisTrendcast, please email me!

YA REV BADGE 5

The E-publishing revolution has just started, and already digital shelves are full of senseless imitations rehashed over and over again. Some books are just openly negative, violent or meaningless. All you need is an e-reader and a simple click of a button in order to purchase an ebook. No one can possibly police what our teens and young adults are reading. Meanwhile, their minds are still delicate and developing, and perhaps they haven’t yet learned to discern what is good and what is harmful. Much of what our teens may be downloading on their e-readers may not be what they should be reading in order to develop into good human beings and responsible citizens of our planet!

Typically, author organizations and promotional sites do not distinguish books for integrity, quality of message and positive energy. It is up to us, readers, writers, bloggers and reviewers to convey this information to each other. YA Revolution aims to unite all those who are tired of same old, same old and who want to read new, original, inspiring books with message and heart. It’s also for those who want the same for their kids. We intend to give voice and help promote authors who deserve to be heard, whether they write YA or adult literature. The more good books are promoted by us all, the easier both teens and adults will be able to chose the right books to read!

Whether you are a young adult or simply young at heart,

join the YA REVOLUTION!

We are for literature with message and meaning! Continue reading →

I Received The Booker Award

23 Tuesday Oct 2012

Posted by Lada Ray in My Updates, Writing and Publishing

≈ 14 Comments

Tags

Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews, Author Lada Ray, Books, Brothers Strugatsky, Harry Potter, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling, Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, Mikhail Bulgakov, Monday Begins on Saturday by Strugatsky, Russian film Charodei, Russian film Mesto Vstrechi Izmenit Nelzia (Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed), Russian films, The Booker Award, The Master and Margarita

No, it’s not THE Booker (Prize), but this one is pretty cool too, and I am thrilled to receive it!

Picture

The Booker Award was given to me by Mardi Orlando, author of a wonderful metaphysical fantasy, Secrets of Ghosts. I recently read it, and enjoyed it so much that I immediately sat down to write a 5* review, which was featured at my Indie Book Review Fest.

Secrets of Ghosts is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble as ebook/paperback/hardcover.

Here is the link to Mardi’s post about the award: http://www.mardiorlando.com/the-booker-award.html . Many thanks, Mardi! I am privileged and honored to receive it from you!

What I especially like is that this is not a blog award – rather it is given to authors. To accept it, I am asked to list 5 of my favorite books and pass it on to 5 other authors, which I’ll gladly do.

There are so many favorite books, which I had treasured at different points of my life and that left an indelible imprint in my psyche. But here are just a few of them that come to mind immediately (both fiction and non-fiction):

   The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Widely regarded as one of the foremost visionaries of the 20th century, Mikhail Bulgakov is arguably the father of the contemporary urban fantasy. Written in the 1930’s, Bulgakov’s masterpiece takes place in the Stalinist Moscow, when Satan himself descends on the unsuspecting city to play with lives and desires of mere mortals and to organize his annual ball. It is about the writer –  “Master” – who is writing a book about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the predicament of Pontius Pilate, and about a secret affair of said Master with his beloved Margarita. The book is so profound, so entertaining and so amazing(!) that I would have given it 50 out of 5 stars, if such option was available. I read it in Russian, and I can only hope that the English translation does it justice! I hear that the best translations are by Ginsburg, or Burgin/O’Connor.

Here are a few of Bulgakov’s  famous catch phrases, many authored by Satan (who is a very cool character, by the way): “Manuscripts don’t burn,” “Cowardice is the worst of sins,” “They are generally not bad people, it’s just that the real estate issue has spoiled them,” “Why are humans so afraid of shadows? What would the world be like without a shadow of a tree?” “He hasn’t earned the light; he has only earned peace” (The above are my own translations directly from Russian – translations of the same phrases in the book may vary). I can equally highly recommend Mikhail Bulgakov’s other books. Read more about those here: GOLD TRAIN Blog Tour Centerpiece: May Day Interview.

description

The Russian Jubilee edition of The Master and Margarita (Russian: Master i Margarita).

The new excellent movie is available on Amazon with English subs. A word of warning: The movie is truly superb and true to the book, but the translation as I hear is not as good as it could be. 

   Journey of Souls by Michael Newton (non-fiction). It is a compilation of fascinating case studies of past lives by various patients, recounted by practicing psychiatrist and pioneer in past life regression. When I first read this book years ago, it opened my eyes on many things. Awesome!

   Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small, by Ted Andrews. Incredibly useful and well-written reference guide to the wisdom of the animal world, which provides techniques for recognizing and interpreting the signs and omens of nature. Meet and work with animals as totems and spirit guides by learning the language of their behaviors within the physical world. Includes extensive wisdom of Native American shamans, Chinese and other cultures.

   Monday Begins on Saturday (Also, translated as: Monday Starts on Saturday) by Brothers Strugatsky. Move over, Harry Potter! Written in the 1970s, it is “Soviet research science meets the paranormal.” What a delightfully magical, entertaining, satirical and profoundly philosophical book this is! It features the Institute of Magical Affairs, located somewhere close to Moscow in Kitezhgrad, a magical town, which was recently discovered and lifted from the bottom of a sea. As the Institute completes its revolutionary, cutting-edge design of the… magic wand, the protagonists, beautiful research witch Alyona and her beloved Ivan, have to overcome tremendous odds and a huge dollop of malicious witchcraft to be together.

  Russian Edition: Ponedelnik Nachinaetsa v Subbotu. A blockbuster movie based on Monday Begins on Saturday, entitled Sorcerers (Russian: Charodei) was made in the early 1980’s. Immediately after that, the girl’s name “Alyona” (which in fact is an ancient Russian name) became incredibly popular.

Thumbnail   Sorcerers (Charodei), movie poster.

If you speak Russian, you can watch it on Youtube.

Brothers Strugatsky are the classics of the Soviet scify/fantasy, as well as the mystery/thriller genres. Their other book, The Era of Mercy, is another favorite of mine. It is about a huge wave of brutal crimes that swept Moscow in 1945, immediately after the end of WWII. It is also about the important lessons and choices the young detectives have to make while trying to solve the mystery of the Black Cat. The mega-popular blockbuster TV mini-series based on The Era of Mercy made in the early 1980’s, starred the famous Russian singer Vladimir Visotsky and was entitled: The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed (Russian: Mesto Vstrechi Izmenit Nelsia). I just finished watching it on Youtube. Simply awesome!

   As my fifth choice, I decided to include Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling. I think this is the best book of the Harry Potter series and I just love the character of Sirius Black! Also, J. K. Rowling is my inspiration. I know, I know, this is not the book’s cover, but shall we say, I am not a fan of the American covers of the Harry Potter books. I think, this movie poster is sooooo much more appropriate.

In conclusion, I just wanted to say that listing some of my fave books here was a fun exercise in soul searching, which made me pause and think about what is important and what isn’t. I am hereby making a solemn promise to myself to post reviews of the above, as well as of some other great books. Thanks to my friend Mardi, today I have made an earth-shattering discovery that being a thoughtful reader/reviewer would help me become a better writer. Imagine that!

The authors I would like to nominate for the Booker Award are:

Darlene Foster http://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/

Cassandra Giovanni http://www.cgiovanni.com/

M.C. O’Neill http://royalmanaball.wordpress.com/

Janna Shay http://jannashay.wordpress.com/

Review: What Every Married Woman Needs by Steve Caresser

21 Wednesday Mar 2012

Authors, Books, E-book, Lada Ray, Literature, Steve Caresser

Cover for 'What Every Married Woman Needs'Review by: Lada Ray on March 13, 2012 : star star star star star
This review of Steve Caresser’s book, What Every Married Woman Needs, is based solely on content. In reading this little “manual,” I notice how poetic, understanding and protective the author is towards women. It is reminiscent of the old world chivalry that is all but extinct in today’s USA and of which I am personally a big fan.
A great reminder for our men, this book is a sweet sentiment and the author speaks from the heart. Every woman needs a “Caresser” in her life, no matter how independent and successful she might be.

You can buy this book at Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/127929
