FIREBORN
AT HOME IN FLAME
My name is Mary Andrews. Welcome to my worlds.
First, for those of you who are asking “why did she choose a blue template and call her site fireborn?” Remember that the hottest part of a flame is blue.

Book II of The Fireborn Chronicles
Tues Jan 1, 2008
Swimming Kangaroo Publishers has contracted to publish Book II.
March 1, 2009
The Fireborn Chronicles: The Oracle Prophesies now awaits an editor.
*August 2009 Since the economy has so badly affected small publishers,
Swimming Kangaroo Press has cancelled all book publications not already in editing.
I very much apologize for the delay. I'm currently seeking a new publisher. In recompense, I plan to have Book III ready for submittal in early 2010.
Hopefully, a shorter wait between book II and book III can help make up for this delay.*

***KING JAMES BIBLE COLORING BOOK***
I've finally started setting up my bible project. I'm looking for artists or groups of students to help illustrate THE KING JAMES BIBLE COLORING BOOK. It's meant to be used as a Bible study guide for moms and their children, teachers and their students, or just anyone who might like to sit and contemplate the words.
I intend to make the coloring pages free to download for non-commercial purposes. I've already set up the first two chapters of GENESIS on this site (BIBLE PROJECT on the menu) but I'm leaning towards linking to http://bible-project.deviantart.com/ because it is an artist community and might help me find more volunteers. For now, both chapters should be downloadable at both sites.
Artists will be asked to respectfully render B&W illustrations from the unaltered text of the King James version of the Bible in any style of art. I did the first chapter of Genesis in doodle art style to make this point. I have plenty of chapters left and will try to accept all skill levels. This is a labor of love.
Please drop by the BIBLE PROJECT page and/or check out the BIBLE-PROJECT deviant art site as well. Anyone interested in the project can contact me though this site or email me at author.Mary.Andrews@gmail.com .

October 18 2007 I was a guest speaker on Karina Fabian's FAB CHAT
from 8-10pmhttp://karinafabian.tripod.com/id15.html
(see my blog page MACROCOSMS, to read FabChat transcript)
is a weekly live chat for writers and readers of all interests and persuasions.
"Tell me about your novel."
The first book of THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES should be released in both eBook and trade paperback ....
It is a science fiction story that takes place in a future where The Universal Government has offered a solution to most planets’ biggest problem: criminal and nonproductive members of society. Each planet remains free to determine for themselves what constitutes an unacceptable faction. Then The Universal Government will remove them, and employ them on the Hive Planet.
Workers of the Hive are addicted to a wonderful and all-encompassing drug that can only be earned by working, thus converting each planet’s formerly unproductive and dangerous elements into a universal workforce that provides the ultimate interplanetary temp service across a truly universal web.
Since its creation, only one person has ever escaped the Hive Planet: A newborn, fully implanted with compu-link interface temple plates, but not yet introduced to the drug. He now leads a Dark Ops unit for The Gov. on a mission to uncover a psionic ring of criminals who have inexplicably taken control of an important Government Ambassador.
What they find will change the universe.
FYI: In high school I remember reading an epic poem The People, Yes by Carl Sandburg.
It spoke of the resilience and power that resides within us. This is my favorite passage:
TIME IS A GREAT TEACHER...
THE FIREBORN ARE AT HOME IN FLAME...
WHO CAN LIVE WITHOUT HOPE...
--All of my characters are at home in flame, hence the title. * --excerpt from an interview by Ruth Pennebaker in 2007, producer of the new STATE OF Ruth asked for this interview as a follow up to my appearance on the 6th episode (Diabetes and Obesity) of the PBS series STATE OF TOMORROW ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Check out my articles in BRANCHES OF LIFE BLOGZINE http://branchesoflife.blogspot.com/ March 2008 subject was TEENS.

You can feed him (by pulling out the can of cat food and double clicking on it)
Pet him and he will jump out of the basket to play with you.
When you double click on the basket he will jump back into it.
