Opheliona's Jania

It is so cool to glimpse my characters through a reader's eyes. Morgan sent me this portrait of Jania:

I really appreciate what you have done, Morgan. I know how much time and work it takes to do something like this. It shows how much you enjoyed the story and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you.

Book Review
Reviewed by Maria Beltran for Readers Favorite

"Familiar Origins” is science fiction story about a universe ruled by powerful dragons who submit themselves only to the supreme Creator. The universe is divided into the Debellos and the Turei factions. It is also a story of magic and of mankind. The Debellos are the aggressive dragons who want to conquer the world to feed their magic. The Tueri dragons, on the other hand, want to protect the worlds of animate beings. One of these worlds is populated with human life that is also rich in magic and is the venue of the fight between the Debellos and the Tueri. Locked in a centuries-old deadlock, these dragons know that the one who can control eight extraordinary humans will be the one who will emerge victorious. Both dragon factions patiently wait to find the humans that they can train to reach their goals and they eventually identify five young children who hold the fate of their world. These children have to face horror and deception at a tender age and have to deal with the powerful dragons. "Familiar Origins” is actually a story of humankind's survival in the face of a Debellos dragon who succeeded in gaining control of their lives.

"Familiar Origins" is a science fiction and fantasy story. It is a tale of five children growing up under the guardianship of mystical dragons. Author B. Pine undoubtedly has a very fertile imagination. She creates a new world in this story and produces extraordinary characters. It is a tale of magic where the world is populated by dragons and epic battles are being waged. This is a book that certainly gripped my attention so much that I had to finish it in one sitting. I am fascinated by the character of Ben, the commoner who fell in love with the proud princess, Princess Jania, and kept his emotions to himself for years. The truth is that "Familiar Origins" is also a story of children who are coming of age. The five children here have to grow up under abnormal circumstances and they are forced to grow up as quickly as they can. With the children going to the academy to specialize in some skills, it seems somewhat similar to the story of Harry Potter. B. Pine's "Familiar Origins" is not completely original but she manages to come up with a story that is riveting and exciting. It was a roller coaster ride for me, as I read the novel from start to finish in one sitting, so to say.

I'm giving away five books! Want one?

I am still a bit stunned. I have not had too much time to dwell on it, but now that some time has passed, it is quite real to me now. My book has won two awards. Not one, but two first place awards.




I would like to celebrate by giving away five print books, signed, with two original award seals. I will ship the books anywhere the USPS will deliver. There are two ways you can enter:
1. Subscribe to my blog and post a comment. If you can’t think of a comment, you can post, “Please enter me in your giveaway. I would love to read Familiar Origins.”
2. Follow me on Twitter (@B_Pine) and tweet: I want to win a copy of #FamiliarOrigins by @B_Pine

You may enter both ways. I will pick one winner from my blog entries and one winner from my Twitter entries on April 15. I will do the same on April 29, and I will also pick the fifth winner from among both the blog and Twitter entries.

And no, this is not an April Fool’s joke.  Good luck!
