I enjoy finding fun digital short story series and this certainly is one. Thad Brown has some fun with Chapter One and I have previewed Chapter two, he just doesn’t stop. Who is Thad Brown and what does he have in store for us? Check this out and then tell me if you don’t think Biker Angel is worthy of the time and the money for the download:

“From acclaimed author Thad Brown, the first of ten digital short stories from The Smoking Gun Sisterhood: Biker Angel.

  Call me Thad…

A digital short story that has a mysterious Italian guy at the center of the whole thing: Was Bri Clark thinking of me when she penned this? Welcome to a part of the week I love doing and reading, Digital short Saturday. Today is definitely a double header as I have two excellent short stories to bring to your attention. The second post today will be on Thad Brown’s The Smoking Gun Sisterhood/Chapter One/Biker Angel. I am glad I discovered both;  they are both quality digital short stories…

Comic Con India 2011

It has never happened before, but it’s sure to happen again. Last weekend, fifteen thousand comic book fans gathered together in Delhi for India’s first ever comic con.

The two-day convention was a phenomenal success, far exceeding the expectations of both the organisers (Twenty Onwards Media) and the participants. In its inaugural year, this annual comic con provided a much-needed platform for publishers, retailers,…

The week is winding down and we are still blazing a hot trail here @ Gelati’s Scoop. We had a fun interview this morning with Laurie Bowler, the vampire/paranormal/romance author of Moon Rising, Across the City and many other novels. Please check our archives for the post we had on those novels. Non-fiction is not something I pick up too often, but when I see something inspirational like this, it just seems to jump into my hand. Have you seen the movie, ”The Blind Side”? Yeah, this is the…

Hi, it is me, the G-man, Giovanni Gelati, he of Gelati’s Scoop blog and The G-Zone blogtalk radio show. I am going to get right to the point because I don’t want to waste your time or mine.

I’m going to sound a bit pretentious here, but what I have been building and the direction in which I want to go is a departure from the stale same old, same old. What is different that I have to offer and sets me apart from other services out there? Simply I am not in the same sandbox as they are.…

Got Vampires? Looking for a coven? Laurie Bowler has that and much, much more here in Moon Rising. Before we get to the novel, a piece of business: Laurie will be our guest on our blogtalk show The G-ZONE, on Thursday at 8am EST. You read that correctly, the live time is 8am EST. Laurie lives in England so there is a bit of a time difference. Our breakfast is her late lunch. What is between the covers of this vampire/romance/paranormal novel you ask?   

“Marinette (Nessy) is half…

Happy Monday to all and thanks for checking in. We have a monster week ahead of us and we are going to start the week off with a bang, the works of CQ Scafidi. Today I am going to do two things: I am going to revisit a post I had popped in back in the day when I first started this blog, and then a Q&A that is certified fresh off the virtual press from this morning. CQ will be our guest today on our blogtalk radio show, The G-ZONE, @ 5pm EST. Check it out, call in; be part of the…

Part two of our posts today involves chapter two from The Breaker Series. Floyd Buck Periwinkle is the author of this series, sorry he has three names. I was considering cutting one out to stay with the theme of two but he might take offense and eliminate me. I would prefer to avoid that. Just a reminder: Tomorrow is Self–Published Sunday, and on Monday we have CQ Scafidi as our guest on The G-Zone blogtalk radio. CQ is the award winning author of Time Couriers and also he has begun the new…

Hello and welcome to another edition of Digital short Saturday. Today I am going to have two posts and they both deal with stories that are part of a series. I like the series most of all because I enjoy the character development and the wanting more part of it. Business first though today: Laurie Bowler will be our guest on our blogtalk show The G-ZONE on Thursday Feb. 24^th at 8am EST. Yes, for those of us that live in the USA I have 8am written there, Breakfast with Laurie. She…

Things are getting intense around here at Gelati’s Scoop. We are getting involved in much and have much more to do. Sound vague, yes but I have a few things going and can’t reveal all at this time. Next week I am going to drop in something neat, at least I hope that you like it. Anyway, we got a nice compliment from author Irene Hannon on our blogtalk show the other day. Irene was nice enough to point out that the guest we have had and will be having on the blogtalk show are some pretty…

Welcome to Wednesday and we have a lot to talk about today.  Jessica Dee Rohm is our featured author today and she will be with us on our blogtalk radio show The GZONE tomorrow, Thursday@ 2pmEST. Jessica has penned a number of novels including Sugar Tower, and Make Me an Offer. If I talk too much about her now, what will we have to talk about tomorrow, hahaha. Seriously though, if you go to any of the places her novels are sold (Amazon, Goodreads, Smashwords….) you can find the…

Here is a Q&A Thomas White ,author of Justice Rules, did a little bit ago for a virtual book blog tour he did in late 2010. He will be our guest tomorrow on our Gelati’s Scoop The GZONE blogtalk radio show.

   Justice Rules is his first novel and was nominated as a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association 2010 Literary contest.

Thank you for this interview, Thomas.  Do you remember writing stories as a child or did the writing bug come later?  Do you remember…

Hey, I am pumped about this. The reason is that I am actually mentioned part of the prize package they, Trestle Press, are offering to winning authors. We, Gelati’s Scoop The GZONE, made the video for this contest and it is on Trestle’s You Tube homepage. Here is the link for it:

Happy Valentine’s Day to all! We have a big week of posts, guests on the blogtalk radio, The GZONE, and some pretty neat news and info to impart that we are a part of. Today on the blogtalk show at 1pmEST we have Bob Hamer as our guest and tomorrow we have Irene Hannon. Later on today we are dropping in another post that is a first for us and we are happy to participate in this inaugural event; more details to come in our blog. Tomorrow we have not one but two surprises; I am pumped to make…

I am glad to be back with this segment of the week. I have always enjoyed Self-Published Sunday. Lately I have been working on a few new things; I will be posting on that a little later in the week. Unfortunately, I had to shelve a few things in order to get that done. I didn’t stop reading; I just had to cut back on my posting a bit. Speaking of something new, I have an interview with Bob Hamer, author of Enemies Among Us, tomorrow, Valentine’s Day @1pm on The GZONE, blogtalk radio. The…

What is in a name, hmm… I guess a lot of y’s. This is a new short story series that already has two installments released by Trestle Press. The next short story in the series is entitled Reality. Yes I have read it and I will be posting on it in the future. It was difficult for me not to have read it as I enjoyed Conception so much I wanted more and the Kindle had enough juice in it so I kept going. The price of the fun, $.99. It is hard to buy a Slurpee for that anymore, let alone a…

It is back, Digital Short Saturday , and I have a couple of serious new digital shorts to go over with you today. Both are new series, The Commissary by CQ  Scafidi and the next post is on THE NEXUS CHRONICLES /Conception by Skylyr Symkyns. To get some business out of the way CQ Scafidi is the author of Time Couriers, yes, that Time Couriers the novel that won many different awards: Best Eye Catching Cover- the new Covey Awards, and also The Amazon Clicks.Com /Authors Choice March…

TGIF to everyone and welcome to what is going to be a doubleheader today. Later on I am going to drop in a post on Stormwatch/Warren Ellis to try to cover opposite ends of the spectrum today- a fun, campy YA work and a very dark, heavy, and deep geopolitical thriller. Just so I cover the bases here, I don’t know if you had a chance to catch our blogtalk radio show this week? The guests we have had thus far are Suzanne Woods Fisher and Vincent Zandri .You can listen to them via the archives.…

Looking for something dark that is going to crawl into that brain pan of yours. I wasn’t to be honest with you, but I have read everything Jason McIntyre has written to date and I was not going to let anything stop me from reading this. The novel just came out on Amazon Kindle priced at $2.99, a bargain for what I feel I got of this. Oh yeah, before I forget, Jason will be stepping into The GZONE, the Gelati’s Scoop blogtalk radio show, on Feb 28^th at 11amEST. If you…
