Hello, Authors.com

Hello, Authors.com,

 

I was invited here by the talented and charming Tracey Alley, so I thought I'd introduce myself.

 

I am the author of one novel so far, but I'll be adding to that total very soon.

 

My current novel is MOST LIKELY, a young-adult coming-of-age novel that deals with the theme of pressure... pressure of all kinds... and how one young girl deals with it all. While it contains light Christian themes, it's not a heavy-handed religious…

Matthew Dunn "Spycatcher"

I just finished reading this novel, and I have to say that I enjoyed the last part of it more than the beginning. Why you might ask? The reason is that halfway through my reading of the novel I had the good fortune of interviewing the author on my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE. Matthew Dunn’s voice is smooth, silky, and yet vibrant. I had gotten a sense of why and how he was able to recruit so many spies; he was pretty captivating. I had his voice in my head as I read the rest of the novel,…

"Dream Me To Death" April Pohren

Paranormal, sci-fi, horror, oh my! For a debut effort, April Pohren made this look easy, scary and fun. “Dream Me to Death” is a very nice, horrific, and nerve rattling digital short story that is going to keep you glued to your e-reader. I do not care what device you read this on: smartphone, laptop, ereader, computer, your rapt attention will be necessary. Being able to pull yourself away from this will be tough. I thoroughly enjoyed the way she sucked me in and made me focus on her…

My Ojective As A Science Fiction Novelist

 

    My objective as a novelist is to offer the readers enjoyable sci-fi stories that are not over their heads with deliberate uncommon words and concepts that only an Einstein can comprehend. Exciting, easy to read stories, offering everyone much more than just science fiction. I love twisting comedy, love, drama, adventure, horror, action, and mystery into my stories. I truly hope everyone will enjoy reading my stories as much as…

Your walking, unto my abundant abyss, my chambers of thought. Where i envision an extent of the universe, the borderline of creation. Is it bliss beyond everything we've come to know? Will the people learn to appreciate what they own if they are abandoned here, or will they become deranged?  Will nothing become monotonous?

 

Some of my words and thought. Please like me on Facebook.…

Acquiring the Discipline to be a Writer.

I truly believe that all of us are given a variety of gifts by God that he wants us to use for his purpose as well as our benefit. I have been told that I have a good voice by the members of the church my family attends. I do like to sing and I serve as a Cantor at our church.

 

I also enjoy writing. Sometimes ideas pop into my head about story lines, I'll even get a full paragraph sort of like an introduction to a magazine article or story. Fleshing out the idea and giving it…

Last Love

Last Love

By Felisha

 

 

I loved this boy, I loved him so,

I can't believe he let me go.

He sat this girl upon his knee

and said he chose her instead of me.

 

My mum came home late that night,

she looked for me I was nowhere in sight.

She went to my room my room was all red,

all it took was one bullet to the head.

 

She dropped to her knees and picked me up.

And my family…

"The Tortured Revelations" Laurie Bowler The Author's Lab/Collaboration series

You are saying to yourself, wait, wasn’t there another digital short called “Fangs,Inc.” out already? Is this the same thing? Is this story just redundant? First off redundant is a large word for me to use, so hold tight here. The real deal on this is this: The Author’s Lab/Collaboration series has created a series within a series. Yeah, how do you like those apples?  I am fortunate to be able to work with not one but at least two different authors right now that have vampires in their…

Take a Moment to Silently Reflect

I have, in my writing career, come to be associated with some truly amazing people. The list is too long to name them all and I wouldn't want to forget anybody. Let me say these are not only talented people in the world of books (authors, publishers, promoters), but also some terrifically kind and generous folks. These are people that work hard and always have a positive word.



There is one person I would like to single out and call my friend, although we have never met face to face. … Continue

A Time Well Spent?

Have you ever looked carefully at the time you spend promoting your work? I'd always thought I had a good feel for this but recently I had a surprise.

 

On a one week break recently in a remote place (The English Lake District), I had to make some special arrangements to provide internet access so that I could continue promoting my thriller  'Take No More'. So, I bought and installed a 3G dongle, you know, one of those gizmos that slips into the USB slot on your laptop. It…

‘my cold dark corner’

‘my cold dark corner’ *screams* 

By moi

 

 

There's a cold dark corner

in the back of my room,

it speaks to me

and says I'm coming for you.

 

As I lie on my bed

in the fetal position,

my eyes are closed

hoping and wishing.

 

Maybe that one day

my dreams will come true,

that I…

Hey, how is this Saturday treating you? Plenty going on here, not just on the blog, but The G-ZONE and Trestle Press.

"Meant To Be", Mark Miller from the "ONE" series

I have a few points to make in this post on not just this story but on this series Mark Miller has decided to call “ONE”. I applaud the man for laying himself out there. Basically to set the tone for this series, he has totally laid himself emotionally naked for us to ponder and reflect on our own experiences and dealings with loved ones. This series is not about telling anyone how to worship or live, not to get up on a podium and preach any type or reference any religion or thought process,…
