From of all of us here at Gelati’s Scoop, The G-ZONE blogtalk radio show and Trestle Press we hope you have a very nice Thanksgiving Day.

We know not everyone we know or work with celebrates this holiday on Thursday, but everyone is in our thoughts and we appreciate all the support and kind words we have received. Without everybody we would not be able to do…

My brother Tom, his wife Sandy and  their children have called Frisco, Texas home for nearly twenty years. Frisco is one of those upscale places that one often encounters in the shadow of a large metroplex such as Dallas and is an attractive sort of mid sized town in which one can dine in upscale restaurants, shop in…

In the middle of a soccer drill, in an awful, awkward moment, Celia Bennett's eight-year-old son Caleb lands on his face and chest in the grass. The diagnosis blindsides her, bringing her face-to-face with every parent's worst nightmare.

Desperate to save her son’s life, Celia pursues a cure through alternative medicine, but her quest ends in…

Hey we did and we are extremely proud of it. His name is Stephen H. King and he has written “Cataclysm: Return of the Gods”. It is a very good full length novel selling for $4.99. It clearly states on the cover his full name and his bio (which I have placed below) gives you a nice snapshot of all the pertinent information.

What the bio does not tell you is that he is a…

Look at this face. Do you think she has me wrapped around her precious little finger?

You bet she does!



And the result was this:

So, you married yourself a writer, eh? You bought into the

romantic notion of the two of you sitting fireside, you drinking a glass of

pinot noir while your significant other sits beside you writing the next great

American novel. The only sound is the crackling fire and the tapping of their

keyboard. Every once in a while your significant other looks up from their

masterpiece and flashes you a smile that makes you feel like you’re the most

special person in the world.…

Why do you write what you do?

I write what I like to read and what I think others want to read. Recently, I’ve been focusing more on young adult literature. It’s hard to write good young adult literature because I’m sure young people don’t want to be fooled, and I doubt they can be fooled. They want the truth. They can handle the truth. Stories and especially novels,…

There are very few ordinary people in Northern Ireland. By ordinary I mean, nine to five job, a wife or a husband, two kids, a dog and a mortgage. About three weeks ago my twenty two year old son Mark came into my office in West Belfast and I suggested we go grab some lunch in a cafe a few hundred yards up the road. When we went in, the place was pretty busy; it’s a nice place good food at a good price. We were about to leave as there were no tables when I heard my name being called, Joe! It…

Got a new book coming out next week and I must say it’s a

great feeling. Not because I finished another book, but because I finished a

book that I started writing in 1997. As I slowly weed through more than two

decades of manuscripts, there’s a certain joy that comes each time one is

finally declared “finished”. Even as I re-read the manuscript for the

thousandth time, I could still picture myself fourteen years ago, sitting

upstairs in my sweltering bedroom…

I found some tips at a blog,…

Vipassana means ‘insight’ in the ancient Pali language.



Somewhere on day five, half-way through the ten-day meditation retreat that Raji Lukkoor attends and records engagingly in the course of this book, she quotes William Hart (from ‘The Art of…
