Joan Meijer "The Rescue" The Author's Lab/Collaboration Series

Joan Meijer has an amazing depth and breadth of work; put her name in the Amazon Toolbar and watch it go crazy. She has written and will continue to write in a variety of genres and tackle difficult subjects. I had a ton of fun with her on this project; she is a great researcher and commands an amazing knowledge of what she writes about. This time she wanted to tackle something on First Responders. Joan puts in plenty of Firefighters, Police officers, and EMTs in our digital short story. She…

"BRAIN FILES" by Linda Page Wickens

Brain Files is my first attempt at fiction romance with suspense writing, so come along with me inside the mind of a woman I named Bridget Ann O'Flynn. New England born and raised in a working class factory family, people are attracted to her porcelain like features and loving personality. Everything is perfect, right? She always thought it was. Her dysfunctional parents raised her in a very strict Catholic setting under their thumbs. 

Strict…

Andrew Gross Eyes Wide Open

If you haven’t read an Andrew Gross novel or just not gotten to this one yet, put it on your list of novels to read or get it in your hands a.s.a.p.; this novel rocks. It is a story that was actually based on real life circumstances of the author and he used it in ways that will have you gripped to the pages, whether they are virtual on the e-reader or just the plain paper. The way he was able to constantly ramp up the tension and move the story forward so quickly is just flat out fun and…

Daniels' Lot Mark Miller

I am really enjoying Mark Miller’s versatility as an author. True, I have worked with him on a collaboration, ”A Prince in Trenton, Seriously?”  part of The Author’s Lab/Collaboration Series,  read his Empyrical Tales novels, and also his first installment of his brand new series “One”, “Meant To Be”, which I will post on tomorrow . My point in dropping all these titles is simple: Mark Miller is a talented author who is covering a lot of territory and doing it well; it is almost as if he is…

The Fast Growing Reality of Electronic Books and Readers

 

          What do have here?

Hell no! Every year thirty million trees are used to produce books sold in just the United States. That's more than a thousand times the number of…

I had the pleasure to interview Tod Goldberg yesterday on my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE; he was a blast! I will put the link a little further below.

For those of us that have enjoyed this series of novels thus far, I want to say thanks to Tod Goldberg for 5 fun reads. Sadly “The Bad Beat” is his swan song as he moves on to other projects we can…

The Club Feeling

Come to me

I can see you watching

stop the useless flirting

I know whats on your mind, its on mine too

I'm not asking for much, just satisfaction

Don't want a lasting relationship

just something quick

no emotions are needed

just you me and the moment

So stop with the quick glances and the shy smiles

just walk over and show me that we want the same thing.

 

 

 

Hahaha! XD

Robert Ford The Curse of The Translucent Monster

WARNING: This is not a kid’s book. Yes, the humor and wit is bent toward adults and this story is just flat out funny. Robert Ford has put together a tongue in cheek barnburner from the synopsis to the last page. He directed me to make a cover that represented a 1950’s old school flav to match his direction. If you have ever seen movies like “Airplane” with Leslie Nielsen, well you could picture him somewhere in here, which is the type of humor Robert Ford has gone after. In my estimation he…

180 Days

I have to admit I have seen RENT the play, not on Broadway , but at the local high near me Harry S. Truman High School. They were the first high school to do it as the pilot, and they rocked. Anyway why am I writing this blog post? What is 180 days exactly besides six months or 259,200minutes? Well for us at Trestle Press it is a number of things:

-We have gone well over one hundred titles published, both full length and digital short stories

REVIEW DARREN SAINT'S: A GOOD DAY. BY AJ HAYES

Years ago I was diving at Martinique in the French Carribean. At place called Diamond Rock. I was at about 130 feet, just loafing along looking at the broken coral, sand and sea grass bottom when something caught my eye. At that depth, all color has for the most part vanished to be replaced with the ocean's endless monochrome blues, grays and blacks.

 

But suddenly in the midst of all the subdued pallet,  I was hit square in the eyes by a spot of indescribably brilliant, neon…
