The “Drunk on The Moon” series has quickly become a fav of mine. The installments are slated to hit once every three weeks, next up for the fourth installment is B.R. Stateham;it is a barn burner, and it comes in at about 11,000 words. But I digress, sorry. Allan Leverone was nice enough to helm the third installment and he does a great job dancing between the noir and the horror. He uses a deft hand in continuing the series and giving us another facet to the character and better…

Paul D. Brazill has become a very popular guy this summer. Today, Weds. August 17^th I am going to be handing my blog over to the man’s work to highlight it. He has penned the “Drunk on the Moon” series that has just been on fire since the first installment and has not let up at all. Now he has put out a little something he calls “Brit Grit”, a group of short stories. Both words in the title are very appropriate. The wording has a decidedly British feel and it does…

Questions abound: what is this about (see the synopsis below)? Is this a YA thing(Yes!) What is the deal on this series? The deal here is that the Vought’s have co-written a full length series that revolves around the life of teens and they are trying to send a positive message with this: growing up is hard; it is difficult, and at times very awkward. No news there right? The news though is in the manner in which they tell it, let it unfold, and shed light on it, that is the difference maker…

Blood, suspense, mystery, intrigue what are you looking for in a good read? Well, this one has them all. Molly Edwards goes for broke in her debut effort and delivers the goods, in spades. I can say I was NOT surprised when I got a chance to read this. Her ability to write is evident in the first paragraph. She knows how to create a universe and draw us into her characters’ lives and make us care about them very quickly. I think you have gathered by now that I really enjoy the digital short…

Dreams are priceless, however reaching them and making them a reality can be rather costly.  Why, you ask?  Well, when I say costly, I don’t necessarily speak in terms of money, but rather in heart and soul. 

Every single person, in this world, has dreams.  Some may be huge, some may be small.  This varies, mind you, depending on who the person is and where they stand in life.  A person who has known poverty and strife all of their life may dream of the time when they will be able to…

I just finished reading this novel, and I have to say that I enjoyed the last part of it more than the beginning. Why you might ask? The reason is that halfway through my reading of the novel I had the good fortune of interviewing the author on my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE. Matthew Dunn’s voice is smooth, silky, and yet vibrant. I had gotten a sense of why and how he was able to recruit so many spies; he was pretty captivating. I had his voice in my head as I read the rest of the novel,…

Paranormal, sci-fi, horror, oh my! For a debut effort, April Pohren made this look easy, scary and fun. “Dream Me to Death” is a very nice, horrific, and nerve rattling digital short story that is going to keep you glued to your e-reader. I do not care what device you read this on: smartphone, laptop, ereader, computer, your rapt attention will be necessary. Being able to pull yourself away from this will be tough. I thoroughly enjoyed the way she sucked me in and made me focus on her…

     I’ve been publishing about a book every three months for the last two years. But it’s only in the last six months that I’ve published my stuff electronically on Kindle and Smashwords, and started heavy marketing and promotion on the internet. Now, you’ve got to understand, these are books that I’ve written over the course of twenty years. They have been through countless edits and critiques by friends and professionals. All have been through the ringer with good agents and…

Happy Monday to everyone! Trust me I understand; getting started on a Monday is a drag, but with a story like this to get that boulder started up the mountain again, it makes it that much easier. William Tooker has started a really mind expanding digital short story series here with “Bad Angels” .Check out the synopsis below and you will see I kid you not. William Tooker creates a universe with this story that is smoldering, foreboding and all together intimidating. The prose Tooker…

You are saying to yourself, wait, wasn’t there another digital short called “Fangs,Inc.” out already? Is this the same thing? Is this story just redundant? First off redundant is a large word for me to use, so hold tight here. The real deal on this is this: The Author’s Lab/Collaboration series has created a series within a series. Yeah, how do you like those apples?  I am fortunate to be able to work with not one but at least two different authors right now that have vampires in their…

     It used to be that to become a published author (besides just writing a really good book) you had to also spend countless hours writing and addressing query letters, waiting patiently for agent’s responses (months), and then miracle upon miracles, you get signed to a LEGITIMATE agency. That’s only the beginning. Now, it’s up to the agent to make that one-in-a-hundred sale as opposed to the one-in-a-million chance an un-agented author had. And again, miracle upon miracles, it…
