The Girl With the Scar - SF by William Stadler

.

Fantasy and Science Fiction William Stadler’s new series THE GIRL WITH THE SCAR.  Book one is the perfect start into the Dark Connection Saga Series, and a great read on 263 pages. If you liked his first three books of the Pioneer Series:  EXTRACTED, INFUSED and REFINED, you will love THE GIRL WITH THE SCAR too.

“Burned by fate…inflamed with destiny.”

Genevieve Solace, a sheltered 15 year-old girl, lives with her wearied mother, Maria, and her cavalier brother, Edward. All her life she’s been plagued by inexplicable seizures that only seem to be getting worse, seizures so violent that she’s left unconscious for days at a time. 

The king’s Raiders have been hunting her for as long as she can remember. So, in search for safety, she and her family have found refuge in a modest cottage on the outskirts of Kalarn in a small village known as Green Planes.

News of the raids across the kingdom trickle down to Genevieve, however, telling stories of vicious murders where women are slain, children are orphaned, and entire towns have been leveled to ashes. Along with the slaughters, a mysterious apparition has been rumored to haunt the land with tales of dozens of men being massacred before they can even draw their swords.

Terrified of the reports, Genevieve is forced to believe that the king seeks for her due to the scar on the nape of her neck, a circular burn that has marked her for life – though how it came to be she doesn’t know, and her mother refuses to speak of it.

As autumn ends and the cold of winter sets in, Genevieve fears that the raids are growing near. She can only pray to the gods that the Raiders will never find her.

Desperate to find a cure to the queen's sickness and uncover Menja's whereabouts, Eva and Ian must face a challenge that will forever alter the fate of Kalarn.

Tips and Tricks When Ordering from Amazon

.

I just ordered this little digital camera for only $79 (CDN$89) - and saved $40 - at Amazon. My NIKON had to go to "maintenance".   When I later read my order confirmation, I saw a $3.90 delivery charge, even as it showed "FREE delivery". Bummer, my fault: I had forgotten to tag "FREE delivery" and had to spend 32 minutes on the "helpline" to solve this.

However, mostly because I had dialed first their US line, and then, when they could not verify my order number, I realized the wrong country. I have two accounts, one in the US and one in Canada.  OK... "one of these days"...  As Amazon doesn't put their phone numbers on the website, in case you need to call them about an order, here they are:

AMAZON  Retail Helpline #   
1-866-216-1072  ONLY USA   
1-877-586-3230     CANADA


Here Are Some Tips For Amazon Shopping:

When you click on Today’s Deals landing page, you will find the Best Deals section loaded with bargains in every category, and the Lightning Deals section with current sales, which are lasting only four hours or until the item is sold out.
.
Items that are both sold and shipped by Amazon will be tagged as eligible for Super Saver Shipping and is available only for orders over $35 or more.
DON’T FORGET to click on FREE SHIPPING!
.
Not all of the prices are the lowest available anywhere, especially if the seller is a third-party store. Compare the Amazon price with prices on other websites by using a site like PriceGrabber or DealNews.

.
Consider Amazon Prime
The $99/year service gives you free 2-(business)day shipping on much of Amazon's own products, and also includes access to a great library of streaming movies (and ebooks once a month), among other perks.

.

.

Third-Party Sellers:
Amazon is not the only retailer on their site, just as on eBay, there are other online retailers offering their wares on Amazon’s web page.  Check who is selling and who is shipping the item you want. An item may be shipped by Amazon on behalf of another seller with a returns or exchange policy that is different from Amazon’s.  Check out a seller's feedback rating before buying. If it has very few reviews or a satisfaction rating less than 90%, you may 

If you find an item at Amazon and you’re hoping the price will fall later, consider BuyLater. It’s an extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari web browsers that adds a Buy This Later button to Amazon pages and, after you click it, sends you an email when the price changes.

How to Make Your Own Marzipan

.

The historic town of Lübeck, world famous for its Marzipan, is the epicenter of Almonds and sugar. The flagship in town is Niederegger, an artisan confectioner, who produces mainly the famous Marzipan that is made entirely of Almonds, with no added sugar. Marzipan was brought from the Orient to Europe by crusaders and initially only enjoyed by nobles. 

.

How to Make Your Own Marzipan
Marzipan is often called Almond paste in North America. A small difference is that Marzipan uses Rose Water.  To make your own Marzipan get ground almonds  or almond meal that’s made from blanched almonds - with the skins removed - for example Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour.  Poor the ground almonds or almond meal into a food processor, and add a small amount of powder sugar, pulse to combine.  Add a small amount of  rose water and almond extract and pulse again. Add the egg-white and pulse again. You may need to work the mixture with your hands to ensure that it is well mixed. After kneading the dough, place it in the fridge in a covered bowl or a canning jar.  I like to fill Dates with Marzipan, a very popular dessert with my dinner guests. 

Ingredients
2 cups almond flour½ cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons pure almond extract
1 teaspoon quality food grade rose water
1 egg white
