Game Release @ the Library to help with writing skills!

Paragraph Power: Game Release with J.C. Wood
SPECIAL September 2015 program:

Thursday, September 17th @ 4-6 p.m.

The creator of the game, Paragraph Power, J.C. Wood will appear at the Fort Smith Public Library to promote and sell copies of his new educational game. 

Paragraph Power is a fun way to build writing skills, where you start with one word and create an entire paragraph using your imagination and the elements of chance built into the game. The outcome is never the same twice! 

Paragraph Power can encourage players to learn new words and use them in different ways. The game can be played as a group or as a single player and is suggested for ages ten and up, with playtime being generally about an hour.

J.C. Wood, the creator of the game has had extensive experience in the field of education: public, private, and homeschooling. Working as a tutor for students who struggled with writing, he was inspired to come up with a way for students to improve their writing skills while having fun resulting in Paragraph Power.

Cara always knew life on planet L'eihr would be an adjustment. With Aelyx, her L'eihr boyfriend, back on Earth, working to mend the broken alliance between their two planets, Cara is left to fend for herself at a new school, surrounded by hostile alien clones. Even the weird dorm pet hates her.

Things look up when Cara is appointed as human representative to a panel preparing for a human colony on L'eihr.

A society melding their two cultures is a place where Cara and Aelyx could one day make a life together. But with L'eihr leaders balking at granting even the most basic freedoms, Cara begins to wonder if she could ever be happy on this planet, even with Aelyx by her side.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Aelyx, finds himself thrown into a full-scale PR campaign to improve human-L'eihr relations.

Humans don't know that their very survival depends on this alliance: only Aelyx's people have the technology to fix the deadly contamination in the global water supply that human governments are hiding.

Yet despite their upper hand, the leaders of his world suddenly seem desperate to get humans on their side, and hardly bat an eye at extremists' multiple attempts on Aelyx's life.

The Way clearly needs humans' help but with what?

And what will they ask for in return?
