Book reviews

Apparently there is someone who is assuming that we are asking for fake reviews.  This is NOT true.  In fact the reason it is taking me so long to get back to you is because I am reading manuscripts BEFORE I post a review.  There are many industries where colleagues request reviews from each other.  I am currently reading a book by Lez Lewis and won't be posting my review until I have finished.  I plan to get to everyone who has asked me to review for them as quickly as I can.  For anyone who… Continue

Self-Published Sunday 2nd Earth Edward & Eunice Vought

 

Sci-fi has not been my thing of late. I have read some of it, and found it to be wanting. This though is different and imaginative in many different ways, including the fact this penned by a husband and wife team, not too shabby. Wait, it is Sunday, the end of the work week for me. I get no time off as usual, and I have my posting schedule set for the coming week, so I suggest you check out my Goodreads homepage; it has the novels, graphic novels, self-published novels and digital…

Mysteerie Manor - Sharon Hays, Author

Mysteerie Manor – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat



‘She let out a big sigh of relief when she felt the keys and picked them up, dust and dirt clinging to her hand.  She hoped that was all, thinking that spiders and bugs of all sorts inhabited basements that were left for years.  She didn’t want to start a collection now, she chided…

Digital short Saturday Diane Sherry Case Starving in Malibu

FYI: This post sets off a busy day here on The Scoop. I am going for four today as I have a backlog of posts on digital short stories. My problem of late has been I have enjoyed reading them way too much as I have been able to find a diversity of stories to read which I think fuels my desire to read even more. Starving in Malibu is a prime example of that. Dianne Sherry Case has written three things now that I have read: her full length novel Elephant Milk, Starving in Malibu, and one more…

Dylan’s Tale - Harry Porter - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat



“Do you know what it’s like to wake up every day and be afraid?  I did.  I was just a few weeks old when I was taken from my mother, a tiny Bedlington Terrier puppy, all cute and cuddly as puppies always are.  Being a puppy at home with my mother was just great. …

Digital short Saturday Matt Williams Jak Phoenix

 

Check this out ,I got this right from the source, Matt Williams himself, who better to tell you about the story and his main character:

“ I started writing Jak Phoenix in September 2008, after beers with friends led to the inevitable conversations nerds have about movies, comics, space and how we always had ‘better ideas’ than the churned-out supply of Hollywood remakes and reboots.

‘Better ideas’ is a pretty subjective term, but after the 50th conversation about…

Digital short Saturday Cody Toye Dribbles The Squirrel Operation Coffee Deprivation

My Mother always told me: DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! That would be a big mistake here. The squirrel on the cover is cute and funny but the story inside is all too real and surreal at the same time. The story revolves around a poor guy that gets downsized after working at the same place for 25 years. Basically he is told one day that his services are no longer needed and he is shoved under the bus. Dribbles then comes into the picture as our now unemployed everyman has hatched a plan…
