MillerWords is happy to share the Readers Favorite review of Mark Miller's "Renaissance" - http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/2018/01/review-mark-miller.html

An insider’s view of racial profiling in Chicago.

This exciting, yet tantalizing mystery is set in Chicago, the author’s home town. What makes this story very special is that it is a story which the author feels has to be told. The backbone scene setting of this book comes from the past memories, and personal experiences to this day of Maya El and her…

Reader's Favorite review of GML's first book - http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/2018/01/review-george-loughmueller.html

Having written a book during NaNoWri Mo contest for seven years, I love the challenge of writing 50,000 words by the last day in November. This time I was had over 51,000 by the sixteenth day. According to the site's stats, I have 363,754 words written for the contest in the last seven years. Before I published each of those books, the total was more.

I received a literary review from Martha A. Cheves (BookTown Review), who put a big smile on my face.

I first “met” Mark Ozeroff when I edited his first book, Days of Smoke, for Asylett Press. In the Weeds, is his second book and it is well worth the wait!

In the Weeds by Mark Ozeroff is a story of a Vietnam veteran working through his own brand of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the early 1970’s. Sometimes gallant and heroic, Slats Kisov often does more than just bend the rules and the law. But through it all, he retains his own morality, which includes helping the weak and…

A fascinating glimpse into the Harappan Civilization.

The author’s vast knowledge of Hindu history and literature makes this enthralling novel set in the third millennium BCE fascinating reading. Indeed although a work of fiction, the story is based around real life characters and events which took place in the Near East, and Middle East at that…

This is an interview where the author really captured who I am and what interests me.…

Simply beautiful!

This inspiring story begins as Bren graduates as a nurse from university, and returns to The Haven, the wonderful home where she found sanctuary with her now deceased grandmother ‘GG’. This is the sequel to ‘Cries of Innocence’ in which we learnt about Bren’s traumatic childhood, and how, through the teachings of her grandmother, and others,…

A powerfully inspiring journey into faith.

This powerful and inspirational story begins with an unhappy seventeen year old Bren struggling to put on a brave face to the world, whilst having to deal with more than her fair share of personal and emotional issues at school, with her boyfriend, and family.

Angry and resentful of the labels her family have…

Murray Pura's return to Amish Romance - http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/2017/08/cover-reveal-murray-puras-all-my.html

Sometimes writing short stories seems as hard to write when trying to keep to a word limit as writing a book. When a theme is needed for a short story that's to be submitted to a contest that makes my mind search even harder to come up with the story.

I entered the short story Teapot On Whistler Street, which I have enlarged for this book, in the Arkansas…
