John Sandford Bad Blood



Right off the bat I want to say that I am a huge fan of John Sandford. I have devoured all 20 of his Prey novels and each of the Virgil Flowers spinoffs. There are three other Virgil Flower novels: Dark of the Moon, Heat Lightening, Rough

Country and now Bad Blood.
Do you have to read them in order? No. Do you

need to read them, yes. They rock. I find it incredibly hard to put any of his

novels down once I get…

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME

Would I? I have thought of this question many times as I push forward. I think it’s good to stop and evaluate once in awhile. Am I on the right track? Could I have avoided the pitfalls? Can I learn from my mistakes? Here’s what I came up with:

  1. I wish I’d started earlier. I wrote every chance I could, in secret as a child. My mother thought it was a waste of time when I could be…

A Non-Genre Writer's Look at Suspense by Jason McIntyre



What creates suspense?



Years ago, a film-maker friend of mine told me he wanted to try something radically



different with his next project: he wanted to shoot a story that had absolutely no conflict.



He told me he didn't want to have a…

Women of the Round Table, by Phibby Venable



Authored by

... Phibby Venable!

Women of the Round Table centers on a group of

friends who meet regularly around a kitchen table.



Nothing is as it appears, and none of these women

are ordinary. Each of these characters shares a

common ground which gradually becomes invested



with greater meaning ... bound together by

generations of birth, death, and the miraculous ... a

crystal has been handed down to a pair of sisters.

It has power in it:… Continue

Self Published Sunday Marvin Lindberg Ponzied

Sundays are fast becoming one of the biggest viewing days of the week here @ The Scoop. I don’t know if it is all literary agents scouting new talent or just the fact that there are a lot of very good writers out there

and you enjoy discovering them for the first time as much as I do. The writers

are putting themselves out there to the masses hoping that their hard work and

talent get recognized and consumed. I personally get a lot of satisfaction…

Digital Short Saturday Julian Adorney Deals

Deals by Julian Adorney is a really neat read. It is told in a very short words count, 1730 words, but it packs one heck of a wallope. I didn’t know what to expect when I

received it, but very quickly I felt fortunate to get the read in. Here is a

synopsis of the digital short: “James is determined to provide a comfortable

life for his family, but when his college degree fails to provide the goods he

finds himself making deals he hadn't…

Digital Short Saturday Andy Frankham Allen One Mistake



Today we are taking it easy and only throwing two digital shorts at you. No explanation for it, just laziness on my part, sorry. I have been getting a lot of messages from readers chatting up the digital short and

their ability to be read in various places to help them get through the day. I

had not thought of many of them so here goes: at the train stop waiting for the

train, on the train, at their desks, in between…
