Talented Horsewoman - L. C. Evans, Author



Talented Horsewoman – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat



‘I turned to follow Tinker’s movement, hoping she wouldn’t head back toward Millie. As I tracked the galloping form past the barn, a bundle of rags on the

ground hardly merited my attention – until an instant later when I

realized the bundle wasn’t rages. With a jolt somewhere in the center

of my chest, I forgot…

Word of Mouth Marketing with VS Grenier

Let's talk about Word of Mouth Marketing for just a bit. How many of you know what Word of Mouth Marketing is? You all should know or have an idea because we all do it. It's when we read a great book or see a great movie and tell our friends, write a review and/or blog about it. It is also when we read something we really like on the internet and twit or link to the article or blog post. It's when we go shopping and share there's a sale going on with family, friends, and co-workers. Every day… Continue

Self-Published Sunday Tony Bertot The Birth of an Assassin



Hits, Hits, Hits. We are picking up a lot these on Sunday now and I wonder why. Is it that readers are looking for good novels to read? Possibly it is the snazzy title I came up with? It is catchy. I learned

something new this week in the fact that one of my favorite authors, Vince

Flynn, he of the Mitch Rapp series of novels , self–published himself back in

the day after getting 60 rejection letters. That means that there are…

Trust Me Book 1 - Serenity Lost - Reader Comments!

Here is what some of the readers are saying about Serenity Lost!

Mackey (Wednesday, 20 October 2010)

Rating: 5




I was going to my cabin this past weekend and a friend of mine sent me the link to this novel. At first I was annoyed as I thought is was a smut book (all sex no story)but it was surprisingly good. The main characters heated meeting in the beginning of the book (the only smutty part) extends the tension throughout. There are enough twists to… Continue

Trust Me Book 1 - Serenity Lost - Excerpt

‘Within the same week he is released by the hospital and received by the Hennington County Jail, where he is to be held until his trial. That turns out to

be a period of eleven months. He learns from his court appointed lawyer

Digital Short Saturday John McFetridge East Coast

I guess I was in the mood for police dramas this week with the digital shorts. East Coast is 8720 words of police action and family drama. I am going to go right to the

author’s synopsis on this one: ”EAST COAST is THE WIRE in a rural setting as

RCMP Sgt. Jerry Northup works to keep his narcotics squad motivated in the

seemingly unwinnable war on drugs while raising three kids with his wife,

Isobel.” I have not seen the…

Digital Short Saturday Matt Williams Death's Memory

This has been a power packed week @ The Scoop and the digital shorts once again helped me shift gears a few times. I really enjoy the short little burst of fun and way they change the momentum of the day. I think

you get the fact I like to read; the weight of full length novels gets to be a

pull and drags on occasion. I really enjoy picking through the pile and

choosing a few of these to lighten the mood. I can see how someone can read

these at the bus…

Lynette Eason Don't Look Back

Don’t Look Back is my first read with this author. The novel is the second book of the Women of Justice series. Is it Chick Lit totally? I think not. Here is the synopsis from

the back cover: “Twelve years ago, forensic anthropologist Jamie Cash survived

a brutal kidnapping. After years of therapy, she has made a life for herself-

though one that is haunted by memories of her terrifying past. She finally lets

herself believe that she can…

A new review for Tales From Gundarland says it could become a "cult phenomenon". I can live with that.

Graphic Novel Friday The Philistine Michael Mongillo

There is so much in here I don’t where to start. I enjoyed the read, it has a simple message and it delivers it in such a tongue in cheek method. Let’s just say it is a bit over the top. Here is the background on Nick

Bottom who is the Philistine: Nick Bottom, scrappy orphan becomes gifted Ivy

Leaguer. Idealistic government agent becomes hard-nosed vigilante. City hero

becomes one of America’s ten most wanted. And who’s there to catch the man who

would…

Graphic Novel Friday Stephen King's Fall of Gilead

The saga continues and so does my enjoyment of them. The story has serious undertones and overtones, let’s just say for a graphic novel the plotline makes you think a little more than the average good guy /bad guy

thing. Roland, the youngest gunslinger, continues to be tested as he tries to

navigate through Mid-World to reach the fulcrum of existence –The Dark Tower. I

am going to put the rest of the post into the hands of Mr. Ralph Macchio, and
