Three in a Row in September

Imagine a whole long list under that To Do! Not necessarily for me, but whatever…

It’s just a flurry of activity this month, here at Cathy C. Hall’s!

But here’s the thing: if you don’t get to all three posts, you can always come back later in September to catch up  because this is probably going to be it for the month.

See, I have Juniorette Hall’s big wedding day in a few weeks and though I don’t have much left to do, I do have to show up and be sociable for a ridiculously lengthy amount of time. And oddly enough, it’s way easier to be sociable here than in say, real life. I mean, one has to fix one’s hair, put on something decent, stand around and chat (or sit and chat), and just in general be presentable and perhaps even charming. That can wear a body out, you know?

So. What was I saying? Oh! The reason we’re here today is my latest post at The Muffin, This Post Brought To You By the Letter C. 

You might want to read one C topic a week (there are three). That way, you can sort of spread the joy out over the next twenty days or so.

Well, joy might be stretching it. But come on, y’all. I’ve had to remember deodorant for a whole week. (Fingers crossed I can keep that streak going at least through the wedding.)

 

The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper

Temple of the crystal timekeeper ingramspark cover (1)Fiona Ingram’s latest book in the middle grade series, The Chronicles of the Stone, follows the intrepid adventurers to Mexico and The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper. Adam, Justin, and Kim are searching now for the third stone of power, and as always, they must find the stone before the villainous Dr. Khalid can get his hands on it–and them. But there’s an added twist to this tale, a warlord who believes himself the incarnation of an Aztec god. And he’s right in the thick of this adventure!

And so in this third book, the Aztecs come into play along with the Mayans.  From the beginning, when our trio’s plane crashes into the forest, until the end and the life and death game-changing action, there’s a ton of history, religion, and culture to soak up!

Lucky Fiona Ingram to have a book release on a subject that everyone’s talking about now! I was watching a riveting public TV documentary series about Mexico and there on the screen was a cenote (a sinkhole resulting from the collapse of limestone) and I literally sat up from my usual half-reclining position of viewing. I’d just read all about a cenote in The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper! And next came Tezcatlipoca, the Aztec god, and the temple ruins deep in the forests. Hold on! I know all about Tezcatlipoca! And then came…hey! I see what you’re doing and it’s not going to work.

Read The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper for yourself!

 

The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper is available to purchase on Amazon.com.

Fiona Ingram is a children’s author, but up until a few years ago, she was a journalist and editor. Something rather unexpected sparked her new career as an author—a family trip to Egypt with her mother and two young nephews. They had a great time and she thought she’d write them a short story as a different kind of souvenir…. Well, one book and a planned book series later, she had changed careers.
