There are times when I get to read something that as a reader I have a level of expectation based on the author, their reputation, and their past work. All of these have planted a seed in my brain pan of what is to come, at least I hope. Let’s face it, no one is perfect; some authors miss the mark, maybe they are taking a risk, stretching themselves, blah ,blah, blah.

My point in this is: I have read everything I can find by this author; she has consistently exceeded my expectations,…

Do you enjoy possibly learning something while reading? I do. This novel is chock full of stuff even before you get to the first word of the story. This was the first time I have read this author; I was pretty well caught up in his style and substance. I enjoyed the original take he has on the subject matter, his plotline was nice and tight, I was pretty well captivated with his universe and timeline of events, his characters were engaging, and the read moved right along. Personally ,I found…

Tis the season to be spooky. That said, AFTER is now half

price for the Halloween season. Many of you read my article on pricing and I

received many comments both good and bad about lowering the price of my books

and the perceived worth of the material inside. I believe that by temporarily

lowering the price of my books I will be able to generate a larger audience who

will appreciate a good, original story and want to check out more of my stuff.

If you haven’t checked…

Hello and I hope that everybody is having as awesome Monday!! To get the week off on a good foot I am lucky to have Paul D. Brazill as my guest , the start time is at 4pm EST. To say I am AMPED is an understatement. Paul is a huge name in the noir/crime fiction/horror/ hard –boiled fiction genres and it is a pleasure and an honor to have him as guest. Tune in for the fun, call in and ask him a few questions, email me a question for him, whatever you need to do to be a part of the…

Dysfunctional families, grizzled detectives, and plenty of mayhem await the readers of this roller coaster ride. Love to hate a busted up detective that has more fractures and fault lines than an old cracked, weathered paint job, complete with lead based paint. Ingestion of which could cause brain damage. I think you get the surreal picture here. Be prepared and fore warned; it is not your normal middle of the road read. Like its character, it strays off the beaten path quite a bit and takes…

I am always a sucker for a good collaboration. I know you only see one name here, but if you read a guest post I had up for “Pat Lawrence” recently you would know that the name is a mixture of both a husband and a wife; they are a team, a dynamic duo of sorts. “Jarred into Being” is a really good read, fast moving, engrossing, and at times captivating. The action they infuse into the story is swift and they really know how to ramp up the tension. They also make it very hard not to fall in…

My new novel, Behind Closed Doors, the sales of which will help the Mayflower Animal Sanctuary, just received its first reader review at Amazon, and it was a fantastic, 5 star one as well.

Here's what it said:…

GOD’S WONDERFUL VISION..MAN’S

TERRIBLE DEFEAT



His eyes penetrated the darkness, his awesome mind envisioned the earth and all it’s creation. Out of complete darkness the Lord Jesus began to speak each and every vision into existence. His Spirit began to create and form the earth and the Heavens and Father God saw it was ‘good’.



An incredible mind…

I am a sucker for a good mystery, especially one that contains the necessary elements. What is that for me: A good crime to solve, characters that mesh, a few twists and turns, fooling me and not allowing me to figure out the culprit or culprits in the first few pages, some nice swift action, and some witty dialogue. I probably left out a few things, but all that and more is contained in this novel. Not too bad. I suggest the read, enjoy it, and go for a ride that will provide you with some…

I am going to be posting on some self- published novels for the next few posts. For some reason I like to do them in clusters. T.Thomas Akerman has produced a very moving, intense , and passion filled narrative in “The Safehouse”. This is one of the elements I look for in a work like this, the author’s raw emotions; it is one of my favorite things about self –published work. I enjoy the fact that I am enjoying not only his point of view, but it is an undistilled version of it. No one is…
