<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"><a style="margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eyLhWr2ga4Y/UIf6wu_kIdI/AAAAAAAAAPU/jzI6XS7xT34/s1600/mark1.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eyLhWr2ga4Y/UIf6wu_kIdI/AAAAAAAAAPU/jzI6XS7xT34/s320/mark1.jpg" width="236" height="320"/></a></div>
<p>Summary: <em>Notre-Dame Cathedral lies in ruins. The mangled corpses of the possessed are scattered in the shadows beneath the pulverized Gothic towers. This is the aftermath of the Manifestation....Satan has revealed himself to the world, which falls trembling at his feet. Religious genocide sweeps Europe and Asia, and the world's greatest fortresses of faith are smashed to the ground. The New World and Australia become safe havens for refugees fleeing Lucifer's wrath. Heaven remains silent. The followers of Christ cry out: Where is God? Patric Bourdon believes in himself. He claims to be a member of the Church of Satan, but in reality, it is his own hedonism that drives him. His zealous and pregnant fiancée waits patiently for him to "man up" and take responsibility for his impending family, but the lure of drugs and debauchery proves too strong....Until Patric receives a command that he cannot refuse. Tourec, his self-righteous half-brother, has begun a campaign of terrorism against the forces of darkness. The Church of Satan is paralyzed with fear as Tourec and his band of rogue assassins seek vengeance for the evils that Lucifer has wrought upon the earth, and Patric is commanded to seek out and neutralize his brother by any means necessary....Or his fiancée and unborn child shall perish.</em><br/>A thrilling blend of action, horror, and tense family drama soaked in ultra-bleak Gothic atmosphere and saturated with somber religious iconography, THE AGE OF APOLLYON seeks not only to entertain, but also to illuminate the burning question of our time: why does God allow evil (and evil men) to rule the world? THE AGE OF APOLLYON blasts through the sanctuaries of the world's greatest cathedrals, from the majesty of the Vatican where the Voice of Satan sits upon the papal throne to the ruins of Paris where the darkest nightmares of blasphemous perversion are summoned. It is a sweeping story of vengeance, redemption, sacrifice, and sorrow that will plunge to the depths of mankind's depravity, but also offers hope for heaven's mercy. THE AGE OF APOLLYON will shock and thrill those who enter its world...and this is just the beginning....</p>

<p>And now for the interview:<br/><strong>Give us a brief introduction about yourself.</strong> I'm an American currently living in China with my wife and son. I teach English classes at a Chinese university. My interests include art, tattoos, heavy metal, cathedrals, a cold beer, and of course, reading and writing.<br/><strong>Tell us about your writing. What genre(s) do you specialize in?</strong> I've been writing stories of all kinds since I was a little kid, but I've always been drawn to sci-fi, action/adventure, and horror. I like to infuse all the elements that I enjoy reading into my own writing. I'm a sucker for intense dramatic atmosphere and melodrama, and I try to make my writing moody and engrossing. I also enjoying writing about characters that are unlikable and even repulsive. I see it as a challenge: to make readers loathe a character but still feel compelled to read about them.<br/><strong>Who are your favorite authors?</strong> I pretty much only read classics. I rarely pick up a book that is less than one hundred years old, though I do enjoy some modern authors. Anything from the Gothic, American Romantic, and Victorian eras suit me just fine, but I also enjoy intense psychological stories, regardless of genre or era. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is my favorite book.<br/><strong>What inspires you to write?</strong> I like writing what I would want to read. I get most of my inspiration from music and movies. I am a very visual writer and I try to replicate what I see in my mind through words. I listen to a lot of bombastic music like death and doom metal, and this helps put me in the mood to write. I love action movies that are explosive and over-the-top, so I seek to combine rip-roaring action with atmospheric creepiness. This is the direction that my writing is going now, but I'm sure my inspiration will change when I branch out into other genres.<br/><strong>Describe your writing process.</strong> The time of day doesn't matter, but I have to be alone, either at home or in my office. I usually listen to heavy metal music, and I like to drink beer or green tea. I find my best bursts of creativity happen after I've watched a TV program or movie.<br/><strong>Any upcoming projects?</strong> The Age of Apollyon just came out this month, but I'm already 2/3rds finished with the sequel, called Black Sun. There will be a total of three books, and I expect to finish Black Sun early next year. I have a few ideas in my head that are just waiting to pop out, and I'm pretty good about keeping a steady writing rhythm, so I hope to crank out at least one book a year. You'll just have to wait and see.<br/><strong>Where can we find you and your books?</strong></p>

<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator">What happens when the Mental Master of the Macabre joins forces with the Leading Lady of Amish Fiction? They create a story that is part-parody and part-parable. It is an apocalyptic tale that exalts the Amish lifestyle as the only way to survive the end of the world. Going beyond the shock of zombies on an Amish farm, there is a deeper metaphor that examines the Non-Amish depedency on technology.</div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"></div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator">I invite people of faith to read this story with an open mind. You may discover an affirmation of your beliefs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"></div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator">I invite Zombie fans to read this story with an open mind. While there is a strong spiritual message, you may find a uniquely fun undead story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"></div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator">I had a distinct pleasure writing with Sarah Price. She is truly a professional and generous with her knowledge of the writing world. What we have tried to accomplish is to share a story of faith over a backdrop that allows us to deliver a stark, direct message. The whole thing was fun for me and I hope that you get the same out of it.</div>

<p>I have to say, I'm excited about the new cover. It reminds me of an old comic book or a 50's sci-fi poster. The thing about Ron's stories, they are not out-and-out horror. It can go a little dark, but much of it is campy fun, like pseudo-sci-fi.<br/>You can grab the new story here - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LQRSHC">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LQRSHC</a><br/>It would be great if you could join me on my author page too - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/samcanwrite">http://www.facebook.com/samcanwrite</a><br/>For a bonus, anybody that simply "likes" my author page, I will throw in the first <em><strong>Ron Ungary Inconvenience - Theoretical Fishsticks</strong></em>.<br/>Oh yes, Happy Halloween!

<div>Luckily for authors, when we want something, all we have to do is write about it. Once the words are on the page, they are as good as real to us. That desire is fulfilled. We have gotten that thing we needed.</div>
<div>I wonder where my mind was at when I wrote <b><i>A Vampire’s Guide to Sex: The Next Lesson</i></b>?</div>
<div><b><i>The Next Lesson</i></b> is my new story available now through all the usual suspects (Kindle, Nook, etc). It is a story of the human and vampiric drive for sex. That drive dominates so many of our lives. Why would it not dominate our death?</div>
<div>The first <b><i>Vampire’s Guide</i></b> explored a newly turned vamp’s quest to lose his virginity. In <b><i>The Next Lesson</i></b>, a young girl, enchanted by the glittering, handsome vamps of today’s deluded pop culture, learns some lessons of her own. Her life’s goal is to marry one of them, or at least bed one. There is plenty of steamy girl-on-vamp action, with a sprinkling of humor and a splash of blood.</div>
<div>If <b><i>The Next Lesson</i></b> leaves you feeling satisfied, and I think it will, please stop by my author page for a little cuddling and you can tell me you <i>like</i> me. <b><a href="http://fb.com/samcanwrite">FB.com/samcanwrite</a></b>.</div>

<p>About a year ago, I put out a little story called <em><strong>A Vampire's Guide to Sex</strong></em>. It was my little poke at genre writing. I had my fill of those books/movies whose title references the setting sun. When I learned that the pop phenomena had glittering vampires, I could feel the heat of Bram Stoker spinning in his grave half way around the world.…</p>

<p>About a year ago, I put out a little story called <em><strong>A Vampire's Guide to Sex</strong></em>. It was my little poke at genre writing. I had my fill of those books/movies whose title references the setting sun. When I learned that the pop phenomena had glittering vampires, I could feel the heat of Bram Stoker spinning in his grave half way around the world.</p>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"><a style="margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1didpp91hRQ/UEOehNjA1zI/AAAAAAAAANc/4bwjSrF92ew/s1600/kindlefire(54).jpg"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1didpp91hRQ/UEOehNjA1zI/AAAAAAAAANc/4bwjSrF92ew/s320/kindlefire(54).jpg" width="167" height="320"/></a></div>
<p>I had one question, that I'm sure many others had...How does a vampire, with no blood flowing through his veins, function in the baby-making department?<br/>Vampires are sexy. They can be arousing and tempting. Who has not thought, at least once, that it might be fun to be one?<br/>That is the basis of my <em><strong>Vampire's Guide</strong></em>. It is not so much an actual instruction book, but gives us a glimpse at the difficulties of adjusting to an <em>alternative</em>lifestyle.</p>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="separator"><a style="margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yU1D0n55uTE/UEOen58X1NI/AAAAAAAAANk/Fy-srIEQl9g/s1600/iphone(14).jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yU1D0n55uTE/UEOen58X1NI/AAAAAAAAANk/Fy-srIEQl9g/s320/iphone(14).jpg" width="175" height="320"/></a></div>
<p>I thought that it was a single story in me that needed to escape. Here I am, almost a year later holding a new story engorged with fangs and titilation. <em><strong>A Vampire's Guide to Sex: The Next Lesson</strong></em> introduces some new characters (if you read the first story, you'd know why). This story addresses the problems faced by teenage girls that have been misled by current trends in vamp fiction. What happens when a confused 18 year-old grows up in search of her one true love, a vampire?<br/>She will learn that it's not all glitz and giggles.<br/><strong><em>The Next Lesson</em></strong> will be available quite soon. <br/>Why not start at the beginning for a mere $0.99 by clicking here: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V0JCV2"><strong>http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V0JCV2</strong></a><br/>Or, one better, for anybody that "likes" my new author page (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/samcanwrite"><strong>http://www.facebook.com/samcanwrite</strong></a>) between now and release date of <strong><em>The Next Lesson</em></strong>, I will send the first story to you with my compliments.</p>I have a visitor: JT Lewistag:www.authors.com,2012-08-31:3798404:BlogPost:1531692012-08-31T16:30:10.000ZSam Langhttp://www.authors.com/profile/SamLang

<p>I wake up, at no particular set time, and make my way to the bathroom for the morning (or maybe early afternoon) duties.<br/>I look in the mirror, steamed over from a skin-reddening hot shower. Like any of us, I sometimes ask, "Do I like what I see?"<br/>"Sure." The answer is usually, "Sure, I'm fine with that." Most of the time, the thoughts do not travel much beyond that point.<br/>Today, they did. Today, the wet smear of my handprint revealed a face I did not recognize in that dubious mirror. I followed the lure of my dark pupils like Alice down her rabbit hole.<br/>Inside, I meet zombies, vampires, walking through dark spaces, stepping in who knows what, but it is sticky and smells horrible. I see my friend Ron (he's kind of annoying, but takes it in stride).<br/>Today, I really like what I see. I have been working on redesigning my image. Little things here and there.</p>

<p><em>Trestle Press presents Sam Lang’s Reprisal, a digital short story series. Reprisal is a dying town built on secrets and haunted by a mysterious shadow since its beginnings. Eddie Newport must survive one night in this town with his oldest friend as a bus full of escaped murderers breaks down on Main Street. Eddie and the Chief had a meeting with the Mayor. Five murderers boarded a bus for a routine transfer. The town is empty, everyone went to the Holidome for a weekend getaway. The town is empty, except for the Shadow. In the final chapter of Reprisal, what should have been a simple, uneventful weekend has turned into chaos. The body count is escalating and Eddie has nowhere to hide. Eddie, Arizona, the Chief, the convicts and the Shadow are about to collide at the Intersection of Atonement.</em> <br/>Get it today for $0.99 - <a href="http://goo.gl/LNnDf">http://goo.gl/LNnDf</a></p>Get on the Bustag:www.authors.com,2012-04-02:3798404:BlogPost:1307462012-04-02T13:03:25.000ZSam Langhttp://www.authors.com/profile/SamLang

<p>Our aim with this series is simple: provide some zombie entertainment in a (hopefull) new way.<br/><br/>With <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UO6SIY?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005UO6SIY"><strong><em>In The Beginning...</em></strong></a><strong><em>,</em></strong> we set the stage for a personal, character-driven story on a global backdrop. In <br/><strong><em>Myths and Legends</em></strong>, we give more details on the origin of the epidemic and introduce some new characters.<br/><br/>There is a phenomenon and subculture growing in the US, possibly globally.

<p><br/>Sam, horror, blah, blah, Sam, twisted, etc, etc. You've heard that before, so now I'm getting experimental. Put the emphasis on mental.</p>
<p><br/>I took a step away from the gruesome, scary stuff. Maybe you don't know it, but I'm a pretty funny guy. At least, I think so. Following that train of thought, I concocted the above piece. It's a one-off, not a series. I threw together a few characters that had their own problems and put an absurd bow on it. I'm no scientist, physicist or boccecist. I combined some fancy words that made sense to me.</p>
<p><br/>Then, I ended up with an amusing tale of a lonely man trying to find love. The holidays are upon us, so admist the ghoulish grunge of <em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00645963W?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00645963W">Reprisal</a></strong></em> and <em><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UO6SIY?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005UO6SIY">Severed</a></strong></em>, I offer something lighter to bring you some cheer.</p>

<p><br/>I write a short story series about an atypical hit man. Atypical in that he does things you least expect from a professional killer. And it is this unexpected, unanticipated quirk in the man's personality which I want to discuss briefly. Specifically I want to discuss three stories I am particularly fond of.<br/><br/>In particular, the three stories found in the Call Me Smitty; Something Deadly The hitman calls himself Smitty. He has eyes as dark as the center point of a black hole. He moves through the night like a sulking nightmare. And when he strikes . . . oh, mama! But the point is this; is Smitty just a hit man? Or is he something else?<br/><br/>'Heroes' come in all sizes, shapes and disguises. As an aficionado of the hard boiled/noir story we all are looking for that certain character, that certain individual that captures our attention and holds it permanently. Smitty does that. And the three stories in the series installment pictured here is an excellent set of examples to substantiate my claims. Let me briefly describe each:<br/><br/>In the opening story entitled Something Deadly a hood decides to wipe out a cop and his entire <br/>family. Kill them all while the family sleeps in their own beds. Smitty is informed of this coming deed from a friend. The 'friend' is a fellow hood who worries about what the reaction from the police will be if one of their own and his family is wiped out in such a brutal fashion.<br/><br/>Smitty decides to intervene. So picture a black, moonless night. Picture a house in suburbia littered with children's toys and the comfort of a house filled with love. Picture a madman in the middle of the house with a fireman's axe in his hand. Picture the madman about to enter one of the children's bedrooms. Picture Smitty coming between the madman and the slumbering child. A herculean struggle of bulging muscles and soft grunts between madman and killer. And all through this a small child sucking his thumb and dragging behind him his teddy bear watches the silent struggles while standing in the hallway.<br/><br/>In Goodbye, David Smitty appears miraculously and plucks a young mother and her tiny children off <br/>of a dark street corner in a driving rain. The mother is terrified. Her husband is planning to kill her. She is fleeing from his murderous intent--but she is young. Frightened. With no one to turn to. <br/><br/>But Smitty finds them. Smitty whisks them off to safety---and, in the end, Smitty settles the issue with the <br/>woman's husband in a fashion that can only be something Smitty would do.<br/><br/>In I'll Take Care Of It Smitty is hired by a mob boss to kill a cop and his family. Yes, it is a variation of the first story. But uniquely different. Smitty says he'll 'take care of it.' He knows the mob boss doesn't <br/>believe him and sends a second group of killers out to do the job--and get rid of Smitty in the process. What happens next is typically Smitty.<br/><br/>I am very proud of these stories. Especially the first one. The first one shows a range and depth of emotional responses rarely seen in these kind of stories. The same thing can be said with the second story. And the third . . . . in fact, in all of Smitty stories.<br/><br/>Smitty is a different kind of critter. He deserves to find fans who enjoy rooting for a different kind of hero.<br/><br/><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Intent-Call-Smitty-ebook/dp/B004UN55XU"><span style="color: #3b5998;">http://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Intent-Call-Smitty-ebook/dp/B004UN55XU</span></a></p>Start Your Enginestag:www.authors.com,2011-11-07:3798404:BlogPost:1029312011-11-07T13:17:19.000ZSam Langhttp://www.authors.com/profile/SamLang

I like to examine people and create <br/>characters that are real, but also sometimes real strange. The couple in this <br/>story is exactly that. They are misfits. They are loners. They are vampires and <br/>they get together. <br/><br/>The inspiration for this titilating tale came from a <br/>very popular series of books-turned-movies. I haven't read them, but it is my <br/>understanding that the female lead becomes pregnant from her vampire lover. <br/><br/><br/>My natural question was "How does an undead vampire get his equipment <br/>functioning with no blood flowing through his veins?" My anwer can be found on <br/>these pages. This one gets a little steamy, a little funny and maybe a little <br/>gory.

<br/>The conecpt, an ex-cop turned werewolf turned <br/>P.I., is fresh and fun. Yes, I slipped "werewolf" in there. If you don't already <br/>know the premise, Roman Dalton was a detective in The City until he was bitten. <br/>Since then, he splits his time between being a private investigator and <br/>single-handedly trying to put Jack Daniels out of business.<br/><br/>This is <br/>classic noir stuff. Moody settings, bad-tempered people and lots of grit and <br/>grunge. The City is as much a character as the people. And the thing that piqued <br/>my interest was the supernatural does not stop with a single werewolf. There is <br/>a Haitian voodoo gangster, an alien and let's not forget the zombie strippers, <br/>but no vampires yet.<br/><br/>Let's talk about the tales one at a time, shall <br/>we?<br/><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AJM28O?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005AJM28O">Drunk <br/>on the Moon</a> - Paul D. Brazill sets the tone with the initial story. He gives <br/>us a glimpse of how Roman came to be and establishes the prime hangout, Duffy's <br/>Bar. He points out all the major players. He names a few unique locales. But <br/>that is not the draw of this installment. This one is all about the words. <br/>Brazill spins a silky web of metaphors, phrases and descriptions that drip with <br/>artistic skill. His words don't simply put you in the story; you feel, taste, <br/>touch, smell everything right along with seeing it in your mind's eye.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EGJC9U?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005EGJC9U">Fear <br/>the Night</a> - Julia Madeleine takes Roman all the way to Quebec. <br/>Unfortunately, Roman can not leave his troubles behind. Full moons are <br/>unavoidable. Madeleine reminds us that being a werewolf is not Roman's only <br/>problem. He struggles with morality and fights the bottle. He is human. To me, <br/>that's what makes a story. If the character isn't relatable then it doesn't <br/>matter what he does.<br/><br/><br/>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center; clear: both;"><img height="320" width="277" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pk43D3ApKOs/TohmMZJ6qRI/AAAAAAAAACA/lfqmd1PL1Ik/s320/fearnight.jpg" border="0"/></div>
<br/><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GVE4KK?ie=UTF8&tag=mille05-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005GVE4KK">The <br/>Darke Affair</a> - Allan Leverone hits all the key elements and delivers more of <br/>the trademark Roman Dalton. The story is direct and concise. Roman faces off <br/>once again with Ton Ton Phillipe, the Haitian voodoo gangster. The fun in this <br/>one is Agent Darke. Leverone introduces a mysterious new character, both <br/>humorous and frightening. I for one would like to see Agent Darke return, if he <br/>survives.<br/><br/><br/>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center; clear: both;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Gb7Blblt3w/TohmKf8cWKI/AAAAAAAAAB8/X0iEu4PgX1M/s1600/darke.jpg" style="margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img height="320" width="277" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--Gb7Blblt3w/TohmKf8cWKI/AAAAAAAAAB8/X0iEu4PgX1M/s320/darke.jpg" border="0"/></a></div>

Stateham brings the fourth installment with excellent force. He has a <br/>style that I would call "old school". Maybe that's not exactly right, but he <br/>definitely has an understanding of the genre and seems to have gotten inside <br/>series creator Brazill's head. His word choice and descriptions are masterful. <br/>Without giving away the end, I could not help picturing Anthony Hopkins <br/>conversing with the main character. I have not mentioned Ivan Walker from the <br/>previous stories, but he should be mentioned here. Stateham really develops the <br/>relationship between Roman and his former partner. Ivan is taken from being a <br/>cutout on the police force that slips Roman the occassional lead to a friend <br/>with a history and continued compassion for Roman's situation. I try not to play <br/>favorites, but this may be it (so far).<br/><br/><br/>

What I found was touching and sentimental, and <br/>quite satisfying.<br/><br/>Darren delivered two stories with all the outlook of a <br/>rainy day. In his first piece, we are introduced to a jobless drug addict. The <br/>next story tells us of a single mother in deep with a loan shark. Darren does an <br/>excellent job of setting the stage and revealing these characters to us. As I <br/>read, I quickly moved passed preconceived notions of "life in the projects". <br/>These were real people and I really felt for them.<br/><br/>Then Mr. Sant throws <br/>us for a loop. I like surprises, so I am not going to be the one to spoil the <br/>ending. These sad tales have a twist. No, not an "M. Night Twist". Still, I did <br/>not expect it in the first story, but would have been disappointed if he did not <br/>deliver in the second.<br/><br/>In the short story genre, it takes a deft hand to <br/>satisfy in such a small space. Darren manages to pull it off like a child <br/>playing in his parent's closet. What I mean by that is that to the child, the <br/>closet is much bigger and full of amazing things. He has all the room he needs <br/>in that short stretch of white space to give us something worth well more than <br/>its $0.99 price tag.<br/><br/>I suggest you add both of these to your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_7?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=trestle+press&sprefix=trestle#/ref=sr_st?keywords=trestle+press&qid=1317155137&rh=n%3A133140011%2Ck%3Atrestle+press&sort=daterank">Kindle</a> <br/>today (and you wouldn't want to disappoint me, would you?).Review: The Two Johnstag:www.authors.com,2011-09-21:3798404:BlogPost:936542011-09-21T13:07:17.000ZSam Langhttp://www.authors.com/profile/SamLang

<br/><br/>Now available <br/>from Trestle Press, the latest installment of the Author's Lab Collaboration <br/>Series, comes The Two Johns by Giovanni Gelati and Sam Lang.<br/><br/>I have been <br/>quite pleased with Trestle's handling of my story Reprisal. This is my first <br/>turn in the Author's Lab. I took some pleasure in working with Giovanni. He <br/>injected some humor into my darkness. What we ended up with was a gruesome case <br/>of mistaken identity.<br/><br/>The Two Johns are characters that make a brief <br/>appearance in Reprisal in Chapter 1: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0057Z2P9W/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=mille05-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B0057Z2P9W&adid=16G53660ZHE4XFFVPCY3">Making <br/>Plans, Making Memories</a>. I took the opportunity to drop them into Giovanni's <br/>covert world and apply some pressure. I think we came out with quite a fun <br/>result, with a little surprise at the end.<br/><br/>Please, let me know what you <br/>think.....The G-Man Reviews Shadow Boxingtag:www.authors.com,2011-09-17:3798404:BlogPost:930682011-09-17T13:42:03.000ZSam Langhttp://www.authors.com/profile/SamLang
