About this deal

We lost so much when sunstone technology was banned… Millions, if not billions of years of research and advancement LOST to the sand of time, because religious zealots deemed it heretech.” Lara said. Would I buy this book for myself? I would, despite it not being my usual sort of read. It was just… GOOD. And good enough I’d be proud to own a paper copy to show off to people and rave about if given the chance. It is just a compelling, addictive and well written story, what more can I say? What does it have to do with us, with this child being as much as yours than ours?” Lara asked, scared of the implications of such a story.

RACE THE TIDE is in the glorious setting of the Flete Estate, Mothecombe, South Devon. We are hosting three races that cater for runners of all abilities. For most of this story you might think this book is on the very outer edge of the crime fiction genre, but its place is firmly established by the end.Erin Travers has uprooted her two sons from Sydney to move to a small oyster farming town on the Eyre Peninsular in South Australia, where she had happy holiday memories from childhood. Jaune/Kal will have a Polyamorous relationship with... Yes; many partners, all will have a voice and won't serve as a simple fling to just serve our ego/Monkey Brain. I do romance and s3x! Not p0rn! (If you want the uncensored version, you need to go to my story on AO3. A predominately Woodland Trail of 8.5 miles on the private Flete Estate, racing the tide at 7 miles, with 2 Aid Stations Yes. The mineral must have been dispersed into the atmosphere when they started excavating and mining the core. They are responsible for the kryptonite poisoning, which caused the millions of deaths the labourer guild suffered.” Jor could barely believe what they had done. “It wasn’t an accident. The population had, at the time, exploded, and with a shortage of resources… Accidental population control and cleansing.” Horror in his voice. With her two teenage sons, Erin moves away from her life in Sydney, to down to her childhood home near the Eyre Peninsula not far from Adelaide. Mallee Bay is an oyster town, many of the locals making a living from hard work at the oyster farms. But did Erin really leave her past behind her? Strange things begin to happen and Erin feel she is in danger. But from who? And what can she do about it?

There were twists and turns in this novel that really kept me wanting to read to the end to establish who was causing Erin grief. Erin, the main character of this novel is starting afresh after a messy separation from her husband. With two teenage sons in tow, Erin decides to uproot them to a country town, best known for it's Oysters. Needless to say, a move of this kind for two city teenagers brings with it, many issues. One son flourishes under the circumstances, the other, retreats within and a set of separate issues unfold. I won't give any spoilers in this review, but what I will say, this is a really interesting insight/study of relationships. Relationships between parents, children, neighbours and new romances are under the magnifying glass in this novel, with some mystery thrown in for good measure. Her screams were heard throughout the ship and beyond, her mind shook from the presence and voice of the Entity. She felt and saw Jor-El punch through the reinforced bulkheads of the ship to get to her, it took less than a second for him to be there. What she saw him wear were the most advanced pieces of combat hardware she has ever behold. Expect advanced science and a more defined fantasy than just using the term Magic everywhere. Romance will come much later in the story (Polyamorous). Jaune Centric sees by other characters. This is a long story with many worlds, universes put into one coherent whole. (Or at least as much as I could.) There are many Lore from many stories. RWBY, DC comics, Marvel, FATE, even some Skyrim. This book was a little different for me. It was general fiction that almost had the feeling of literary fiction to me as well as having that taste of intrigue and mystery I do so enjoy. Add to that the, for me, almost local feel and imagery that brought to life memories of my own and… wow, what a great read.Is she going to be alright?” Jor asked, watching as his wife's hair goes through colors and glows, flowing around as if it had a mind on its own. It was very well written, I enjoyed the interactions between Erin and her boys with the locals, especially her neighbours, and just about all human emotions were covered - love, friendship, resentment, anger, obsession, sadness....it was all there.

This is my first fanfiction ever written, English is not my first language, and if I make mistakes, please tell me. Also, you can tell me if the colors are too much.Ryan was surly and untalkative – he hadn’t wanted to leave Sydney and his father but his mother hadn’t consulted him or explained what had happened. But Mike was supportive and Erin was trying to do her best. Their elderly neighbours, Jono who was an oyster farmer, and his wife Helen were friendly and welcoming, with Jono giving Mike a job a few days a week.
