I got way more than I bargained for in this novel. Usually my reads aren’t as emotional as this one is. The post for Chasing Sunsets was supposed to have been up last week, but with my laptop getting hit with a bad virus I didn’t get to put it up so I am sorry and can only apologize to Revell and Eva Marie Everson. Back to the novel at hand, here is the synopsis:

“Kimberly Tucker's life hasn't turned out the way she thought it would. A divorced mother of two, Kim resents her…

I really enjoy Melody Carlson. I have had the chance to interview her on my blogtalk radio show, The G-ZONE, a little while back; here is the link:

I really enjoyed our discussion and had a nice time talking with her, so when the opportunity came up to read her novel I took a leap at it, why…

Hey, how is it going? What is my issue? What is the source of my angst? Why am I really royally ticked off right now?  I have a few issues with the state of “Traditional Publishing”, or as some refer to them “The Big Six”. Let me expand and explain if you can follow along with me. As a blogger I am fortunate, and I mean this sincerely, to be contacted by authors, publicists, etc. to review novels. I am happy to do this, because let’s face it, it is fun and who doesn’t like a good…

It's been an interesting couple of weeks.  I've finished the first draft of my current novel, and before I start a rewrite, I've decided on a project for my next novel.  This is all good.  What is not good is that my past few days have been motifed with dog faeces.  Yep, you read right.  Dog poop everywhere.  I babysat my mother-in-law's shitzu/maltese terrier, whilst she and my husband attended a function in way-out-west New South Wales.  I took it outside several times, and it did its…

The world we live in is becoming increasingly competitive with more and more people chasing after the same number of finite opportunities. Regardless of the field of play- sports, business, career, entertainment, politics and ministry among others, the demands for opportunities to gain and retain customers, attract patronage to one's cause, secure votes from the electorate, get to the top, emerge successful at bids for contracts, jobs…

Retro Centre and Samuel Pepys

I always enjoy visiting St Albans.  Yesterday I visited a treasure house of items from times past at a Retro Centre, which I will visit again, and I shall attend the Retro Fair next weekend. 

The Retro Centre is divided into sections where different sellers arrange their wares.  China, glass, curios, soft furnishings, clothes and a treasure house of books.

As I went round I yearned to own a…

A horrifically twisted read that is dedicated to all the working women of the world that just so happen to have a little demon inside. ;) 

Coming Soon with Hellfire…

"Larger than life” is a phrase I never understood when I was a kid, but there are no better words to describe my beloved grandfather. Joseph Carrier was the ultimate Grandpa; he was also the ultimate husband and father, according to other members of my family J .

Every Sunday we would go to…

June is full of reasons for celebrating! Take a look back with me as I tell you about my Senior Year Class Night and the one person who had the best time-it was my father who also sang the crooning song he was know for-"Pennies from Heaven" for all the grads! And to think he later became a funeral director! Just go to:

Roots of Indifference, is the winner of the 2011 Pinnacle Achievement Award in literature history.

Need to read the unforgettable, historical, fictional novel "Roots of Indifference," written from 1910-to 1941 based on true facts and fast paced. The researched in this saga, took 20 years to complete. The history and information came from stories told by the older generations and their experience. Living in a place that everything that took place was being kept secret and never…

Right off the bat I want to tell you I am interviewing this author today @ 6.30pm EST on my blogtalk show, The G-ZONE. Here is the link for that:

Lincoln Crisler starts off the show at 6pm, Steve is on at 6.30. I have to hand it to the author; he can write a…

Waking to the news that one of my fellow collaborators, Big Daddy Abel, had three titles in the TOP TEN in his category made me take pause and reflect a bit. My wife made me stop though as it appeared it I may go into a seizure or something. Pausing and reflecting is not one of my many strong points. Here is the thing: as little as four months ago BDA was not doing this, the writing thing, nor was Trestle Press doing publishing on any type…

H.R. Toye is the author of the “Debtor’s Chip” series of digital short stories and she wanted to go all out hardcore horror with this little number. It is a smoking hot read and is filled with plenty of serial killer action and hardcore zombie suspense to slake any horror lover’s thirst. WARNING: If you have read any of the previous The Author’s Lab/Collaboration stories I think you have noticed an element of humor running throughout the story. That is not the case here.…

Everyday Is Great In The Peach State.

I have a question for teachers, preachers, pastors, deacons of this great community. If there was no NIV or King James could we still have BIBLE Study? This message is for the bible scholars and the word…
