BOOKS, WRITING, LIFE
Physician and author Dr Izzeldin, who lost daughters during an attack on Gaza, spoke here in Doha last night.
His message was passionate and powerful: he vows not to hate, only to keep on fighting for the Palestinian cause in order to honor the memory of his daughters.
“Don’t lose hope, but hope requires faith,” he tells the reporter from Qatar’ Al Raya newspaper.
We DO judge books by their covers (and I don’t know about you but I like having my cake that eat too…). I’m sharing a brilliant one by C.P. Bialois.
This is the cover for the next installment of in The Sword and the Flame Series.
What do you like to see in a cover? What was the last book you downloaded or picked up?
Today I’m featuring the cover of the novel, The Consistency of Parchment, a story about our links to the past, and our often frustrated attempts to break away from the constraints that this history imposes upon us.
The cover image conveys the interconnected nature of our lives. James Tenedero, the author, explains that physical artefacts – and the ways in which these symbols provide an ongoing link to the past – is a recurring motif in the book. In the book, Cal Wendell and Kendra Velasquez see their fates joined by a random encounter, and then face the need to come to terms with their respective histories as they seek to uncover the secret hidden in a safe deposit box.
Keep in touch with James through his blog or on Twitter @jamestenedero.
