“Lifeblood” & ”The Gift”  are Werner Lind’s other works to date; they are vampire stories. He moves on to tackle something new, werewolves. I enjoy Werner’s work; I think he is an exceptional talent, and currently I am working with him on an installment of The Author’s Lab/Collaboration. The twist and bend of it is that he has a certain kind of vampire, Laurie Bowler has a certain of vampire , so we are going to have them meet a little bit down the road in…

Good morning to everyone and I hope that your 4^th of July holiday weekend is rolling right along. Today on my Facebook I am putting up videos  from one hit wonders of the 80’s; chime in on your favorite and suggest a few while you are there. I will be doing it all weekend as long as I am not picnicking with the family. Back to business: The new Paul D. Brazill series, “Drunk on the Moon”, is gaining some serious attention among authors. The list…

Victoria Martinez’s delightful account of relatively unknown and obscure facts about the royal families of Europe, An Unusual Journey through Royal History (ISBN: 978-1-935712-45-9), which focuses on the British monarchy, but is by no means restricted to it, makes for relaxing and easy reading. Grounded in personally conducted research, all but one of the 18 essays that comprise the work were originally published on Geraldine Voost’s popular website, Unofficial Royalty website, which…

Maybe I've been remiss in posting about this, but my newest short story, "A Prince in Trenton, Seriously? ", is available now on Kindle and Nook.



So I did a guest post for Gelati's Scoop to tell you a little more about it. I have a series called The Empyrical Tales. Books I … Continue

There’s this guy I have somehow become entangled with, but don’t remember quite how. Probably through Facebook. You know how you seem to accumulate people on there, like putting a book on a shelf and accumulating dust? When you go back a week or two later, wow! Where did all this dust come from?

Maybe that’s a bad analogy because Giovanni Gelati is anything but dusty. I can’t imagine he sits still long enough to gather dust. This guy is one of the most outgoing, supportive and…

On this very hot (but sunny) day in Iowa, I quickly get into my air conditioned transporter, set the controls for Grand Junction, Colorado, to pick up this week's author, Jo Anne Allen. Then we do a short skip over to Vail. I haven't been here in over three decades. Oh, the memories...breaking the car key off in the ignition (Dad and I couldn't lock the door the entire trip); tennis; white water rafting (Dad fell out of the the boat); and a very weird memory of the longest lasting strawberry… Continue

 

Is the title long enough for you? How hard do you think it was for Big Daddy Abel to make the cover, trying not just to fit the title but all the names on the cover? I think he did an amazing job to say the least. What is this about and why did we do it?

Good question and the answers are easy. BDA is in a rock band, he is one of the vocalists and plays the guitar. Tommy owns the incredible bar known as Bar-A, and me , well I have been there to meet and yap with BDA and enjoy…

Is this fact or fiction? That is the rub with this. Bob Hamer was an undercover FBI agent for 25 years before he decided to write his awesome suspense filled novels. I have interviewed Bob a few times on The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show, and he flat out says that is the part of the fun of the novel. Can we the reader  figure out what he really did and what he made up to weave the fabric of the novel together? I can’t; I am not smart enough and besides if he did any or most of what is in…
