As an author, I pour my emotions, both good and not so good, onto
the page. It can be frightening to send a piece of my soul out into the
world, but I continue to do so. I can never know how my books will affect
people, but once in a while, a reader is so moved they take a few minutes to
write a review. I love them all, the good and not so good. So far, Cairn: A
Dragon Memoir is spurring far more love than disappointment. (4.4 stars) I thought I'd
share a few lines from recent reviews.
Rosie had this to say about the half-mad Bone Master:
And an example of Rebecca’s humour as spoken by the Bone Master (terrific
name):
‘Well, grab a pebble and pelt my hide. The legend come to life has returned. I
thought you were dead, a rotting corpse on some far away battlefield, but here
you are, still wearing your bones.”
Tequila Rose had this to say:
Once again, Porter has created such a vivid and
detailed world with these beautiful mythical creatures. I love Leaf even more
in this book than I did the first. If you are a fantasy lover, especially a
lover of dragons, then this book is for you.

Cairn is an amazing story that carries you away to a fantasy world where you
can almost feel the breeze and smell the air. This story really makes you feel
as though you're right there with them. Rebecca Ferrell Porter is an amazing
writer and story teller. She has an amazing gift and an imagination that is
beyond creative. I enjoyed book one of this series so much that I was concerned
this book would pale in comparison. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Sylvia:
It is apparent Ms. Porter has a gift for expression and the skill to weave
wonderful phrases into vivid images. I love the dragon fantasy; the colorful
interpretation and unique vision the author offers this universally loved
subject matter, is quite charming.
Believer:
The characters are unforgettable and realistic especially Troika the
"Promised One" of prophesy who finds his integration back into his
dragon family filled with pitfalls and loneliness. Content in Elvsmyr with
Leaf's family Gaven and Uredd, he suddenly finds himself struggling to contain
his anger and insecurity. The Trolkin Leaf is a loyal friend who's fearless,
stubborn and highly perceptive. Aurora's the Elemental who seems like an
enigma, aloof and unknowable. Add to these captivating personalities the
indomitable puffin Bay, the gentle fawn Fern, Troika's diplomatic, but
iron-willed mother Wren and the volatile Sparrow. But it is the destructive
behaviours of the cunning and bitter Pearl and the aggressive, tough but
narrow-minded Quill that help build the intensity and suspense of a murder
mystery as events unfold and tempers rise in the clans' bid for Guardianship.
Toni:
I thought I had the mystery figured out, but was surprised at the end to
find I was wrong. I realized I had missed a few important clues.
I have also received emails from my readers that make me tear up. While I don't feel it's proper to share them here, let's just say that when someone suffering tells me that my story allowed them to leave their reality for a few joyous hours, I melt.
Have you read Cairn?
Don't you wonder what you're missing?
