“Truth and convenience all too often pit themselves against one another. The Alhambra Decree is the first book from Lilian Gafni’s Flower from Castile Trillogy, discussing the late fifteenth century wars between Islamic and Catholic Spain, as the two faiths form two nations and battle over the Iberian peninsula. Isabella Obrigon, blessed with a noble life, finds that she has the power to turn the conflict if she faces the truth. But doing so, she makes many enemies but few friends. A riveting tale of medieval Spain, The Alhambra Decree is an excellent choice for fans of historical fiction.”
-Midwest Book Review
“Are you looking for a historical adventure read? One that sets itself apart from all the historical romances that we are bombarded with. Are you a fan of Spain and it’s history and culture? If you answered YES, then this is the book for you as The Alhambra Decree takes us back to July 1453, then jumps to the main story in April 1491. As learnt from reading The Alhambra Decree, in the 1400s Spain was under the influence of Catholicism which was interesting as I had no knowledge prior to Spain’s history, so reading The Alhambra Decree was an eye-opener.
The novel surrounds Isabella Obrigon, a rich and beautiful young girl. Born into a world of money, and privilege–she enjoys life and everything handed to her. Unfortunately though, as Isabella gets older she will soon discover that she shouldn’t have taken her life for granted when it’s discovered that a dark secret surrounds her birth and the truth about her parental line. Soon she finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of adventure and danger between two powerful nations, trapped between two faiths and two kinds of people.
In order to survive, Isabella must make a choice–one that will change the course of her life forever–to follow her heart and join her the lesser wealthy of the two peoples or to live her life of luxury and wealth and live with the knowledge of lies. The other part of the novel that I enjoyed was the talk of discoverer Christopher Columbus, and The Alhambra Decree featured the built-up of his dreams and how he achieved the means to discover a new world. The Alhambra Decree is a nice read that fans of Historical Fiction will enjoy.”

Hello egipt. Good to hear from you again.
The secret to writing is simple. You put down one word then another, then another, and pretty soon you have several sentences and a paragraph. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You then go back and edit what you don’t like and add what you want. This is called “write streaming.” Write about anything, write about your life, write any nonsense that comes through your mind, and pretty soon what you really want to write about will come through. The other secret about writing is to put Crazy Glue on the chair and sit down. Good luck.

I know this is off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Larry. If the internet is challenging to you, as it was to me, then I’d pay for a professional to set your website. It can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000, plus a monthly maintenance fee of $10 to $20. Or you can try to create your own website by Linking to: http://www.wix.com/flash_websites/websites_91?utm_source=google&utm_medium or look them up on “Creating Free Websites.” You’ll find many of such sites on the internet. Good luck!
