The Adventures of Zorza The Alien:Book One The Journey Cody Toye

Let me just get this off my chest right now; I’m sorry Cody Toye! I read this YA tale a while ago and I mistakenly thought I had posted on it, but have come to find out I have not. Big mistake my friends. One thing the Toyeman knows is sci-fi/fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed this short story and want to set the record straight. Just so you know, the second in the series hits the end of this week, so if you haven’t downloaded the first, double up get both. They are $.99 each, and have a ball…

TO BE LOVED

Bridgette Gates. Never been in love. And the guys only love me when I drop them. In one relationship came pregnancy. But it wasn't a good pregnancy. Instead of me having a regular pregnancy, I had a miscarriage. Weirdly, I wasn't depressed like other women when they lose their child. I just kicked it to the side like it was nothing.

As a child your asked what you want, and of course being a chid, we all made long list.…

Big Daddy Abel in The Author's Spotlight

I have a unique viewpoint I think of the man known as “Big Daddy Abel”. I have been an observer of his Facebook wall, read some of his thoughts and feelings prior to his publishing the “Open Mic” series, and have been fortunate enough to have collaborated with him twice now on “The Jersey Shore Has Eyes” and our new release at the end of this week “The Edge of Cataclysmic” which is more non-fiction than fiction. Basically any of the fiction comes from me in part, even most of my stuff is…

All Muffed Up...

(Still Day 1)... 

 

I'm crying...wait stop.  I'm not crying...that's just my muffintop.  Sometimes when I have gas, the boiling of my belly sounds like a little girl crying.  Sorry about that.  But now I'm done eating and I'm trying to figure out what the muff to do?  I'm bored.  I'm trying not to go back upstairs and eat another heaping of potatoes but my mind says…

The Adventures of MuffinTop...

Day 1

 

I've just received the biggest revelation of my life and it's not cute but it is kind of funny.  After all these years of drinking beer and eating whatever I wanted, it's sad to say that it's finally caught up with me.  I have double rolls on my stomach like rolls of tissue.  I am small but yet my belly is hanging.  My tshirts don't quite fit the same and I…

Cover Art Madness, Help Me! Guest Post by Mrs. Gelati

My husband has been going nuts lately with doing the cover art; just nuts .He won’t let me alone:  do you like this font? What about this for artwork? Do you think this grabs the essence of the story? Does this jump out at you? He has a hundred of them, questions I mean. You have to watch what you say around the guy, he turns very innocent things into things that you thought they could never be. The bocce ball thing for example,” I Have Chrome Balls, Don’t You?”. Did you really think of…

Brett Battles Here Comes Mr. Trouble

One of my favorite authors, although before I was just getting hit with one novel a year from the guy, Brett Battles of “The Cleaner” series has gone all YA on us and dropped in an exciting new novel, “Here Comes Mr. Trouble”  . You do not have to ask me twice if I liked or not, “Loved It”. Okay I have been watching the DVD’s of “In Living Color” too much lately; remember the Men in Film skits? To get back on point here, I have had the pleasure and…

The Blank Slate Cody Toye Guest Post

 I image this has happened to most writers. The glow of the computer screen keeps you company as you stare dully at the blank slate that is supposed to be your newest work. I know I have spent many hours wondering why my fingers won’t quite move like they need to. How do you get over this? There are many tactics I have tried. First I try to force it out, just to end up erasing every last word I have typed. Next I have tried writing at a different time of day, hoping to void…

Steve Piacente The Games Changed, One Self-Published Author's View

Once, back in the dark ages, like about five years ago, if you wanted to be an author, you’d write a book, scour around for an agent, and, if the stars aligned, get one and sign with a big-time publisher. That’s how it worked – there was one path, one key to the literary castle. If you couldn’t follow the path, you didn’t get the key, and all you got to write were cranky letters home.

 

If you did land one, the agent would have to find a publisher. If not, that would be the…

Hotel Beaumont The Author's Lab/Collaboration B.R. Stateham

B.R. Stateham is a talented and gifted author. His writing style is distinct yet he is able to write in many different genres. In “Hotel Beaumont” he decided to go the action/thriller route with yet another character that seems to be the perfect human weapon. There is a high body count in the digital short story, but he makes it all sound good, it flows, and has the right sense of judgment and execution. His narrative as usual seems to be right on…

11 Reasons to Enjoy Maynard Soloman by Benjamin Sobieck

11 reasons to enjoy Maynard Soloman

 

Now before you roll your eyes and say, "Another serialized PI? Puh-leez," I want to tell you why Maynard Soloman is different. I, too, had read a million incarnations of Sam Spade. Maynard Soloman might've worn a fedora, but that's where the similarities end.

Here are 11 reasons Maynard Soloman is worth a look.

1) He was forced into retirement from his career as an investigator for the Obscenities Division of a local…

Maynard Soloman Solves The War On Drugs Benjamin Sobieck

What happens when you have a cranky old guy with intestinal issues, an RV, spray paint, Walmart and The ATF? Why you have the first, hopefully of many, adventures of Maynard Soloman. The thing about it is not the hijinks that Maynard gets into, but the prose. It is so rich and amazing that that is what makes it for me. The comedy of the situation, you fruit bat, is just a side bar to the whole thing. I defy you in today’s modern digital short story universe to find something like it, that…

Lee Pletzers The Armeggeddon Shadow

I am pretty sure that I have title correct with the two g’s and the two d’s. Different title, different novel. I ran into Lee Pletzers over at Book Town, a nice place and a nice community. Go to my blog and press the button for it and join, give it a whirl and have some fun. Back to the novel at hand: threw me a curve amongst all the conspiracy theory, action novels I have been reading of late. This is a sci-fi, paranormal, horror, and few other categories. Just file it under good if you are…

Laurie Bowler in The Author's Spotlight

 

When it comes to vampires, Laurie Bowler knows her stuff. She has numerous titles under her name, including: Moonrising, Serena Embracing Darkness, The Across The City Series, Vanquished, The Depths of Darkness to name a few. I am starting to work with her on an Author’s Lab/Collaboration called Fang’s Inc. which will be released in the coming weeks. Laurie has a very distinct style and there is a ton of heart and soul in her novels. I am not trying to be flip…
