Sounds like the beginning of something from a quiz show doesn’t it? No it isn’t, but if you weren’t just listening in on our Blogtalk Radio Show The G-ZONE that had Steve Berry and David Morrell as guests, you may have missed the announcement I just made. That announcement is that we are trying to do something different this Saturday. What is that you say? Here is the concept and hopefully how we will execute the idea:

-We (by that I mean Trestle Press my blogtalk radio…

I'm delighted that new release, Dylan's Tale has picked up its second 5 star review in two days, this time from Glenda Cates at Goodreads. This is Glenda's review:…

Today's entry is personal. What do you do when wrong choices of the past catch up with you in the future? Do you fold, bend or break, or do you face your own 'funk' and spray a new fresh fragrance in your personal universal atmosphere?

I know someone who is contemplating doing something very stupid and weak (minded); thinking about giving up, rather than face the ugliness of his own…

Download Write it Right - Tips for Authors, Volume I.  This is a free offer that expires on Saturday March 12th.

My midweek post is about ‘Cats in Battle’ and how cats helped the Eygptians win (and also lose!) a battle.

The first story is recorded by ancient historian, Herodotus. He writes about an attack on Egypt in 701 by the Assyrians. Now this invasion caught the Egyptians on the hop, who had become lazy and neglected to maintain a well-trained and armed fighting…

Don’t hate on the G-Man because today’s novel is Chick-Lit or whatever you call it now a days. Being the dull geezer I am, I am just going with romance novel, make whatever labels you want to apply to this on your own. The only the other label I would like to smack on this is fun and quick, so your basic fun, quick romance novel. Besides being today’s featured post, Sylvia will be joining us in The G-Zone, our blogtalk radio show, on March 17^th 6pmEST. She is in Australia, I have…

Instead of doing a full-fledged blog tour, I coordinated something a little bit different for my books -  a Book Review Block Party. I contacted numerous book bloggers about publishing their reviews during a certain time-frame, and the end result was 21 book reviews being published across the Internet in one week for my mystery novels Twenty-Five Years Ago Today and Sink or Swim. You can read snippets of

the reviews and more about the…

First, let me say thank you to Giovanni. It’s great to be here and hopefully meet some new readers!

My name’s Mark and as you can see from my own blog (http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/), I’m only starting out as a blogger. I still have a lot to learn, despite the upcoming release of my second novel. Like my own blog, I wanted to do something different for the Scoop. I have a Theory of Firsts: the first sentence, first paragraph,…

I've finished the second draft of Shakespeare's worst nightmare.  I've taken the characters and the plot from Hamlet and Othello, transported them to Gundarland and turned these tragedies into comedies (and that ain't easy to do).  It's now called Falstaff's Big Gamble.

Hamlet is a dwarf, the crown prince of Denmarko and he has family issues.  His uncle killed Hamlet's father the king, usurped the throne and married his mother.  Not only…
