Thorne Manor: And Other Strange Tales Book Review

Thorne Manor: And Other Strange Tales is a fantastic book by Diane Wing. This book has seven short stories in it. "Thorne Manor" is by far my absolute favorite. The stories heroine Heather is a recently divorced woman looking to make her own in the world. She decides to purchase a large mansion, using it to open her business. The house happens to be haunted, but that's just part of the story. I truly hope that she decides to write a sequel to this one. I really want to know what happens to characters next! 

The rest of the stories are considerably shorter, but still just as good. My favorite out of the short stories was "Guardian at the Gate." This is a great quick little read.  This tells the tale of a demon that is decides to come to our plane and take it over. Things don't go quite as he planned. 

Another favorite is "the Black Sheep."  This the story of a young clairvoyant girl that decides to start listening to a new spirit. The young girl in this story is really seeking validation in a world that believes she's crazy. What she finds isn't exactly the type of validation that she was looking for. This is another story that I hope Ms. Wing decides to expand on. Again I would really to know what happens to this girl next. 

This is the second book that I've read by Ms. Wing and have to say that I love her writing and would highly recommend her books to anyone!

Review of the True Nature of Tarot: Your Path to Personal Empowerment by Diane Wing

The True Nature of Tarot: Your Path to Personal Empowerment
by Diane Wing

Tarot cards have long been shrouded in mystery. Many people believe that they are the perfect tool for divining the future, while others believe they are just another of the devil’s tools. In the True Nature of Tarot: Your Path to Personal Empowerment, Diane Wing works to dispel both of these myths.

Ms. Wing clearly explains to her readers that tarot cards are much more than just a divination tool. They are way for anyone get the guidance they need in their life. As you read this book you’ll discover many things about yourself including how to make your natural intuition grow and develop.

Each step in the process is explained in a simple and clear language that anyone can understand. Ms. Wing also discusses the dangers that can come from reading tarot cards and how to avoid them. Her description of the individual cards is very unique. It makes them more human than most books do. This makes it a lot easier for people to identify with the various cards and their meanings.

I’ve been a fan of tarot cards for as long as I can remember. However, I’m not very good at reading them. Thanks to this book I am getting better though. Her ideas are simple, easy to understand and easy to implement. I would highly recommend anyone that is interested in learning more about tarot cards to read this book.

 I really liked the story of the cheerleader but it was nice to read the take from a guys point of view. I could understand the language the teens were talking like because my friends talk like they do. My mom read the book and felt it was more for teens or young adults. She did like the two different views of the story too.  This was a fast read. I had it read in a weekend and my mom had it read in 3 hours.
