There i was 14 looking at the future woundering what life had in store for me,

now here i am 40 looking at the past remembering about the days i was happy and free,

the boy use to say "in 10 years i'll be 24 and all on my own,"

the man say "i wish i was safe,back in my home"

the boy looks up to the sky and asks "Lord,when i'm 34 what will i do?"

the man kneels before God and prays "i wish i was with you"

the boy asks his dad "when i'm 40 will I have…

Hi All,

Its been ages since i've visited here, been soo busy and now i'm back to concentrating on my books and setting up a new website and even considering selling my books in an ebook format.  Have any of you tried it and what do you think?  For all of you out there, I'm a children's book author.  I write a series called Nemesis and its about a wonderful dragon who rules a magically enchanted kingdom.  He's all set to start on another adventure soon.  At the moment he's fustrated with…

I am always up to reading about the birth of a new character aren’t you? I was captivated by Sam very quickly, his wife not so much. But I digress. The twist and turns in this novel are many, the double crosses and triple crosses are plentiful and the action is just about nonstop. I like the title of the novel; it fits. The ensemble cast was fun for me; their morals and code of ethics were pretty plain, and the good guy, well he just rocks. Jeff Abbott took me on a rollercoaster of a ride…

 Reprisal Volume 2 Impeccant starts on the morning that the town is due to be evacuated. Everyone is in a playful mood ready for a short exciting adventure/vacation. Eddie as a reporter is naturally excited for the coming of the day’s events and eagerly leaves his apartment camera in hand.

This volume starts of playfully with a funny scene in the cafe which has our hero blushing like a beacon. However, as the bad weather draws in the sense of foreboding returns. The carnival…

Literary agents play a key role in the international publishing industry. Yet not many new writers are aware of what a literary agency can and cannot do. In simple terms, a literary agent represents authors, pitches their manuscripts to publishers, negotiates deals and manages the commercial aspects of the deal. In return the literary agent charges a percentage (usually 15%) of the royalty for the author’s books.

You’ve done all the hard work in writing the book. Why should…

Fear the Night by Julia Madeleine

A Roman Dalton story from Paul D. Brazill’s Drunk on the Moon Series

In the second instalment of the Drunk on the Moon Series - Fear the Night Roman Dalton travels to L’Isle-Verte near Quebec City in order to help a father find his missing daughter.  Despite his initial reluctance to take on the case Roman finds he is soon swayed when a thick wad of cash is promised. Of course, as is usually the case, nothing is ever quite so simple or…

I host a regular series called "Inside the Author's Mind" on my blog. It highlights the work of authors, and includes an interview.

I've had an eclectic mix of authors on. If you'd like to see the series:

Today's interview is with author, Larry Enright, who wrote FOUR YEARS FROM…

Personally I didn’t know much of the backstory on The Winter Hill Gang till I had to do some research on it for this project. John Reed puts together a very compelling story filled with humor, suspense and plenty of information on Boston and the surrounding area. The picture he paints of “The Gang” is very vivid and definitely piques the interest of the reader, particularly if one has no knowledge of them. If you do, and have lived through it, then you will just find this to be a joy and…

Have you read the synopsis of this series yet? Julia Madeleine has put together a series that is a fun, engaging read and you do not have to be a fan of music to enjoy it. Okay, I love music and that is an added benefit. If I can get her on my blogtalk show, The G-ZONE, sometime soon one of the questions I am going to ask her is:”Did you have more fun doing the research or writing this?” Each installment is going to have a different historical musical figure in it. This is the second work of…

Yeah! I just received my first glowing review for "The Pirate's Daughter And A King's Ransom" from someone I don't know! It is wonderful when your friends tell you they love it, but you can't help thinking that they may be a little biased because they are you friends. Woo Hoo!

First, I'd like to extend gratitude to Giovanni Gelati for allowing me to yap to ya'll today, and to ask ya'll to bear with this southern gal, as this is the first guest post I've ever written.

I started blogging in August of 2009 with no intention of taking it as far as I have. I simply read a book one day, loved it so much, and hoped on Amazon to post a review of it. While there, I looked at some of the other reviews, and…

Frontman and Graphic Designer for Trestle Press ,Giovanni…

Starting today just about every author involved with Trestle Press will have a QR code for their work, not just their novels, novella’s and digital short stories, but also their own blogs, websites….What exactly is a QR Code? Here is a little something from Wikipedia I hope that will help to explain it and then I will go into how and why we are implementing this immediately:

“A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that…

               This new world is electronic books, and right now the paper book publishers are biting their fingernails and pulling their hair out by the roots. They're simply not going to publish a new author's book without it being a sure fire bestseller, which only leaves you with all those many rip-off publishers, and the worse one of all is Publish America! They will steal your dreams, your novel, and they may never pay you any royalties. I welcome…

The “Drunk on The Moon” series has quickly become a fav of mine. The installments are slated to hit once every three weeks, next up for the fourth installment is B.R. Stateham;it is a barn burner, and it comes in at about 11,000 words. But I digress, sorry. Allan Leverone was nice enough to helm the third installment and he does a great job dancing between the noir and the horror. He uses a deft hand in continuing the series and giving us another facet to the character and better…

Therefore and Too are conjunctive adverbs, and they cause a lot of problems with commas. Before we look at using commas with therefore and too, we need to understand conjunctive adverbs and what they do.

What Conjunctive Adverbs Do

A conjunctive adverb shows how the idea in one sentence or independent clause…

Paul D. Brazill has become a very popular guy this summer. Today, Weds. August 17^th I am going to be handing my blog over to the man’s work to highlight it. He has penned the “Drunk on the Moon” series that has just been on fire since the first installment and has not let up at all. Now he has put out a little something he calls “Brit Grit”, a group of short stories. Both words in the title are very appropriate. The wording has a decidedly British feel and it does…
