Saturday's Blurbs featuring Books by Sandy Carlson #MFRWauthor #Fantasy #Mackinac Island

1. War Unicorn: The Ring by S. L. Carlson

Aldric is content working in his family’s apple orchard—or as content as a fourteen-year-old-boy can be doing chores and dreaming up new magic—when he digs up an antique ring and releases a rude spell-bound unicorn. She claims she belongs to the king, but after her long imprisonment, she can’t tell Aldric which king that might be. Aldric promises to take her to the capital, and suddenly a simple three-day trip becomes an adventure.

War is building on his country’s borders, and even with the help of Aldric’s new friend Iggy, and Gwen, the general’s daughter, it’s going to take all the military sword training, courage, and magic Aldric has to find the unicorn’s rightful king. Promises will be made, the bonds of family and friendship will be tested, with a war which changes everything.

Can an apple farmer and one rude war unicorn save the country from the approaching enemy?

2. The Powder Horn of Mackinac Island by Sandy Carlson

Arianna’s family bought a souvenir shop on Mackinac Island, where no motor vehicles are permitted. They thought it a perfect place to become rich-rich-rich for a special surgery procedure for Arianna’s paraplegic brother, Luc, and safe enough for him to have mobile freedom.

When Arianna and Luc discover they can travel back in time to 1793, they meet an ancestor and return to their time to search for the treasure marked on their engraved antique family powder horn. But plans change when Luc finds he can walk there—in the past—and is reluctant to return to the present. Arianna must choose between the treasure and her brother.

THE TOWN THAT DISAPPEARED by Sandy Carlson

Just how many homes and friends does a kid have to lose in twelve years? Driven from his neighborhood during the Chicago fire of 1871, Adrian and his parents move to the Michigan wilderness where his father lands a job at the sawmill. The town is called Singapore - as if a name could make a tiny pit of a town into a great seaport.

Only his best friend, big R.T., keeps Adrian level, even though R.T. does have that habit of speaking in animal dialects.

Just as Adrian starts to feel Singapore is his home, he discovers the moving sand dunes along the Lake Michigan shore are slowly burying his town. He tries to stop it, but how can he fight both man and nature?
