The Hero in All of Us

Most of the characters in my scifi novel are people I grew up with or became friends with in real life.  This made describing the characters in the book eaiser.  I know how my friends would react in different situations, what they would say or how their body would move during a conversation.

Now my friends might not like the responsiblity I put on them in my award wining scifi novel, traveling to another planet and training to fight the aliens that invaded earth but..., well I'm the…

New Life For Immortality

Spiffy title hunh? Came to me in Church this morning, totally Divine intervention, besides I know by now most don’t think I am smart enough to come up with it on my own, hahaha. What is crawling around in my head on this subject?  Pretty simple stuff really. Werner Lind, author of a few vampire stories, has dropped an e-version of his full length novel ,“Lifeblood”.   My point is that this title is starting to finally move after laying fallow for so many years as just a…

Sam Lang Guest Post

This is the start?

In that case, I should thank Trestle Press for publishing Reprisal and thanks to the G-Man for putting me on his blog.

I don’t like to talk about myself, but I will tell you about Reprisal.

Making Plans, Making Memories is the first installment in the story of a dying town haunted by a Shadow. It is the introduction of our main character, Eddie, and his long-time friend Police Chief Canton. They are preparing a questionable plan to have a bus of…

MIchael Koryta The Ridge

I enjoy lighthouses, my wife even more than I. We like to visit them whenever and wherever we are. The one in this story though, no thanks we will pass on it. I am a big fan of Michael Koryta and his writing.  Revisiting his detective series is something I am holding out for though, each time there is more news from his camp, I am hopeful. Okay it’s a Friday, we have a pretty hot blogtalk show to do in a little bit, let’s get to the action and then chat a little on what is between the…

Siege of Darkness J.W. Baccaro

Did anybody notice there is a half- naked man on the cover of this novel? I did and thought hey, maybe a flaming skull’s head could have gone there instead, I could do it no problem. The gist of this though isn’t the cover; it is the content that is king. Here is what you can expect to find inside:

“  Tragedy strikes Zithel, and the city of monks goes up in flames. The Earth-Wizard Mazarian has disappeared, and the army of Asgoth has taken back the Wizard Crystals of the Elements,…

Coloring in my Scifi Novel

 

I'm at the "coloring in stage" of my sequel to Lord Skyler and The Earth Defense Force.   The name of the sequel is The Universe Calls.



The coloring stage is where I read through a scene and I freeze the moment and look around the room that the characters are in.  I see everything that is in the room, some of it I'll end up describing. 

Sometimes I'll look for something in the room that brings up a memory for the…

How Do You Get 16 from 6?

The answer is real simple to this one, folks. You do not have to have a degree in jet propulsion in astro physics to grasp the concept here. The gameplan is as such: The Author’s Lab/ Collaboration series is going to be a weekly thing; there is no doubt on that. If you have paid any attention at all to this series you will have found out that not only are they a quality read but that they are climbing in ranking on Amazon Kindle. “Down Low- Dead” the first in the…

The Edge of Cataclysmic Big Daddy Abel The Author's Lab/Collaboration

Who has the desire to tackle the subject of global warming and just kick it in its teeth? Who has the ability to not only do that, but back it up with it up with a soon to be released follow-up that has possible solutions on not just a world wide scale but on an individual one? Why that author would be Big Daddy Abel, he of the highly rated and also Number 1 “Open Mic”  series (in its Amazon Kindle category for sales, Open Mic volume One is #1,Volume  Two is #2, and…

Throwing Dice On A Chessboard Christos Rodoulla Tsiailis

To say that this is an interesting piece of work to read is an understatement. I am not a deep thinker, nor do I feel that is going to change anytime soon, so it is my guess that much of the deep meaning and symbolism used is way, way over my head. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy this read; that just means if my I.Q. was a bit higher I would have understood more of what was going on here. This is a serious set of short stories, and let’s not lose sight of the fact that English is not the…

Keeping Busy

I recently did an interview with Giovanni Gelati for his blogtalkradio to promote The Lost Queen.

The G-Man has created a series of on-going stories with a variety of authors in a wide variety of genres. My installment is called "A Prince in Trenton, Seriously?" and is coming soon.
