ARTUR WIELGUS -Noel Novel is a Yuletide story for America’s Sovereigns. FDR and America gave half of Poland at the end of Second World War to Russia on Stalin’s hands. Only because Stalin returned some of Polish territories, Poland still is losing a quarter of its lands and America doesn’t even want to give back Alaska to Native Americans from whom they took everything. I always liked Christmas. Splendid lights, gifts ready to be bought in every store. Music, cards about Santa, reindeer, shining Christmas trees, decorated in many homes, everybody happy, animals and their puppet toys. Time off from school or work. The smell of holiday food and fruits. Even in churches they had big donations and were collecting extra money for homeless and needy.

K.S. MULHOLLAND - The conclusion of the epic tale of Varlar:The World.
Corin has discovered a map/manuscript that contains a
tale of past ages and perhaps a key to his quest.
Escaping the Hermitage upon the back of Darkelfari, a
beautiful jet-black horse, he makes his way through the
wilds in search of his elvish companions.
By ever-darkening ways and with the unexpected aid of a
strange Wizard, he is reunited with the Elvish forces who are, at that time, hard-pressed by vast Goblin armies all along the coasts of the North World.
When it seems all must perish, some are spared to break
through to the ocean and the awaiting Elven armada.
Defeated, yet unbowed, the Elves vow to regain their
strength and come again, against an overwhelming foe.
Yet for Corin, there is another trial to be endured. Far away with only Darkelfari as companion; back beyond the Northern mountains, to confront The Mighty Fear, buried in the deep ice of the forbidding realm of the Ice Giants.
