Many moons ago I wrote a post on “Shadow Cay” by this author. Since then many things have happened to both of us; I think all good. She is having her novel made into a film; I may be in it in name, or perhaps they will find a way to kill me in it. I am not going to reread the post I wrote back in the day, it may be too painful; hopefully my writing has improved since then. You may read it, go ahead and have a chuckle on me. My point is as I have moved forward; she has gone…

Life, no matter what your financial, marital, or spiritual position is will always be filled with extremes. How you handle these situations, and the choices you make because of them, will greatly affect yourself and the people around you.

We all have a history, no matter our age or position in life. Some are better than most, others are far…

 Anyone will tell you a good gumbo should reflect the tastes and eccentricities of the cook.

Each story in the series will…

The game plan for this series is to drop in a new episode once every three weeks. The schedule is tight; the authors are willing and the franchise moves forward full speed ahead. Paul D. Brazill has to be pleased with the many positive reviews he has received and the rankings he has enjoyed: not just here in the U.S.A. but also in the U.K. He has charted for sales in the Top 100 of Amazon for his category on both. My hope one day is to nail this busy guy down so I can pick his brain on my…

At the heart of the story is recently orphaned, eleven year old, Skyla McFee. She awakens to the hauntingly beautiful, inner world of the imagination and gains wisdom far beyond her years. Though bullied, she is not defeated; though locked in a cold, dark cellar, she retreats to an inner room where the hearth-fire's glow engulfs her in ineffable light and guides her to…

The week just keeps getting better and things are heating up here on Gelati’s Scoop and The G-ZONE. I have a self-published novel for you here in “Days of Iron”.  The author is from Australia, the work is interesting to say the least, and the ending is well, let’s hope there is more to come. Here is the synopsis and a little something about the author from Amazon :

“In the future, genetic engineering has created three species of humans. Homo sapiens – the Sapes – are the…

Hi Friends! Finally my novella, 'The Lupine Effect" is available for sale at all the usual outlets. It features a man, his family, a werewolf, a vampire or two,love and adventure! You can get it or order it at Chapters Indigo bookstores, McNally Robinsons, FriesenPress online bookstore,Barnes and Noble, and at Amazon.com Kindle store.

Generally I stay to lighter reads, things explode, people die, spies are caught, the bad guy gets his in the end, that kind of stuff. When I received this novel, I was on the fence about it. Was it my thing? Could I groove on her universe? The answer is YES, I did and I am a better person for taking the time to have this author expand my mind and my soul. If you are looking for a read that is going to make you question the core of your being, what life is about, perspective, forgiveness,…
