travelled walking all alone looking for something something I should have known All the roads are empty travelled by a few looking for something perhaps it is you though my feet are torn I'll keep on walking hoping for something something less than scorn So much I have traveled lost without a home looking for something forever all alone torn heart torn feet walking all alone to emptinesses strident beat 
Moments move past in a rapid stream 
Roads going somewhere are better than nowhere
Blurred windows rushing on past Lights leaving footprints in the wet traces of movement not destined to last Mixed signals command attention not sure if its stop or let go drivers destined to follow legalised conventions mute passengers follow or are dragged pulled pushed from place to place better to be going somewhere rather than nowhere hurry up move along enjoy the race  I recently had the pleasure of reading Esther Krogdahl’s first book, Ruthless. A modern action fantasy that places the heroine,Ruth Wroth, in a corporate setting, where Heaven and Hell each have earth based Corporations. The book rapidly moves through exiting her job in a mundane company job as the head of HR, to taking a position with GlobalCore as one the section HR managers, putting a more final touch on terminations.
I enjoyed the rapid development of Ruth’s character as she moved through the book, revealing to the reader that under her harsh business armour, she had a softer human side that was often pressed down by achieving results within her role as the HR Manager. It would have been good to get to know the other characters a bit more and explore them as a reader, though as the focus was primarily on Ruth and her journey, the author can be forgiven. The other characters that exist within the book offer tantalising glimpses of well formed characters, though due rapid movement of the plot, the reader is only offered that. The concept of Heaven and Hell as earthly incorporations and that primary office holders are Angels is truly intriguing. Those that work within big corporations, or associate with them can easily relate to the books especially the professional driven Nature of Ruth. Ruthless creates opportunities for examining further inter-office plays, policies and procedural overhead that plague most companies but with the added spin of action fantasy. Apart from the fleeting character development, Ruthless is a well written book that introduces to world author has created and as you approach the end of the book, leaves you hanging and wanting for more. I must admit I am keenly awaiting the next release and getting to know the world better and explore the primary characters a a lot more. Please please write more!!!! Ruthless is available from Amazon and other various online bookstores. You can also follow Esther Krogdahl on Wattpad or via her blog to keep up to date with her next release.  Don't keep me hanging, cause I'm the odd one out
tried to change my spots, sing a different song words may be different and the melody may grow old but I am still the same where it counts even though I can't fit your mold take a chance on the difference walk away from all the same dance along with me, listen to my song I won't wear their suits being different, it's not to blame what I am, is what I am take a chance on the difference better than all the same Shuttered eyes and the light drains away Darkness takes control in the absence of colour Lighting flashes of blue and gray Shatter the quiet I seek behind Barriers of flesh, so very thin No rest found in my templed mind Won't let the light in Can't open the shutters Rather fill the dark on the lightning's whim Grasping, forming, taking shape Pulling memories and song Where the darkness once gaped My sanctuary is lit from within Rather than without I provide the music, light the candles As my soul comes out  rivers bouncing and tumbling out of my mind
torrential downpour spewing forth drowning, flooding, consuming whatever I write grammar is swamped and spelling is gone messages in the writing for those that can decipher agitated vibrations jiggle my attention hoping that the words find rest hiatus, deltaic slowing and segregation proximal and distal sorted sizing orientation subjective based on placement typoglycemic dreams crash down resting at last in static rest I thought the image and words fitting, as it marks the update and refresh of my blog from kensummers.com.au to typoglycemia.com.au. My words are often jumbled, my regards for grammar, subjective. The message is often more important than how I arrange the words, though sometimes the message is lost in the noise. |
