The Hand of God and My “Status”

Hello everybody! Yes, I am still alive and so are my wife and kids. A “Funny” thing happened on the way to experiencing an earthquake, a hurricane and a tornado all in the span of four days. Why is that “Funny”? Well let’s see, I can really write pages on this subject. In fact I have, and they are in the able hands of Big Daddy Abel the guy that let me jazz with him on “The Edge of Cataclysmic”. The Author’s Lab/Collaboration story just wrote itself for me. I started with the flood we had in…

Paying attention to gut feelings.

Unveiled Emotions:  Hunches, intuitions and promptings are a natural part of the human experience, but what is their purpose and how do they impact us?  Though we often ignore them, we do so at our own risk.  In this fast paced read, the author shows us what can happen when we pay attention and the sometimes devastating effects when we don't.

This new book has also been receiving several surprise reviews online, by word of mouth and through texts.  It is wonderful to see that the…

The Sad Reality....

Just pondering because that is what I do....I ponder.  Some people wonder but for me I ponder.  Anyway, I write this to say that the sad reality of reality lately is living other people's reality.  It's sad, in my opinion, because living and breathing someone else's reality keeps you away from who you are.  I mean I'm so guilty of this.  I'm a living, breathing, if reality tv was crack I would be smoking the hell out of it, reality tv watcher. … Continue

Love Hurts Surprise Book Reviews

I have been speaking to various people about my novel Love Hurts. Being a paranormal romance, it was more than likely going to fall into the category of Young Adult for audience appeal, but that was not my original intention. Indeed, the story content is very adult and I would not recommend it for anyone under the age of 18. I had intended the book for an adult market aged roughly between 18-35, although of course I would not begrudge anyone reading it.

I was greatly surprised to… Continue

A small piece of flash fiction to introduce myself

The setting sun cast a chequer-board pattern across the wooden floor.  Half-seated and half hanging from the ceiling by the stout cords around her wrists that were attached to a heavy bar that ran across the ceiling she panted heavily, head down.  It seemed to her that she could pick out every knot in the wood of the floor, see every tiny crack and the dust motes made almost glorious by the sun’s dying rays.  Then the pain came again, rippling through her body causing… Continue

It's supernatural

'JAZZ!'...

"JAZZ!''

'Honey,are you okay?', someone was yelling

....I'm back.... "I'm landing'...

.'Jazz!''Ye-yeah?' I squealed.

'Did you feel alright, sweetie?' mom was asking

'I-I certainly do', I said. I was cluthing the book tightly,' Mom! I just met an alien and you know what! Daedalus-the one who built the labyrinth- told me, he put people into it if they are cruel. Is it true mom?  He will put me in it if I hurt an ant. Won't…

Love

We all want to fall in love. Why?

Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,

where every sense is heightened,

and every emotion is magnified.…

Natasha Deen "What Happens in Vegas"

TGIF my friends, how are you? Looking for batteries, flashlights, bottled water, candles, maybe a good book to curl up with while all the weather comes through? I am going to do something out of order here, not bad for a guy with OCD. Usually as you know I interview the author on my blogtalk show The G-ZONE and then put up the post; I am not doing so this time go figure. I will be interviewing this author, Natasha Deen , next Weds, so tune in for the fun. But I digress yet…

Thirty-1 Reckless Angelique LaFontaine & Eddie Frantom

The title, let’s talk about that first. The new series by writing partners Angelique LaFontaine and Eddie Frantom is Thirty-1. The title of this installment, volume one, is Reckless. This is a new monthly series that they are doing through Trestle Press. The elements that they have in this series are a wide variety: paranormal, action, suspense, thriller, fantasy, and sci-fi.

"Holy Chrome Bocce Balls on Fire" by who else,ME

I have been fortunate to carve some time out of the days here and there and finally get this done, the sequel to “I Have Chrome Balls, Don’t You?” You may not know this but “Chrome Balls” actually made it to number 54 on the Amazon Kindle Top 100 Comedy; no joking here, I am being serious. I received some pretty nice five star reviews, and one four star, to me that just screamed sequel. So what did I do, how could I possibly continue the plotline? I have the synopsis below and the link to…

One on One: The G-Man goes up against Robert Browne author of "The Paradise Prophecy"

-Did you enjoy the research or the writing more on this novel?

Normally I don't enjoy research, but in the case of THE PARADISE PROPHECY I had a lot of fun with it.  Looking into the history of ancient documents like The Devil's Bible and Steganographia was not only fascinating, but also had a great influence on the direction, scope and depth of the story itself.

What is your writing style? Are you an extensive outliner or do you just do it all organically as it comes to…

Writing evolution

I'm finishing up a few loose ends at the moment with some short stories that I'd like to compile into something roughly novel sized and then will begin work on my new fantasy series.  I always find this part of the writing process to be the most difficult and the most exciting.  The characters are growing in my mind, developing their own individual back stories and personalities.  The story line is building from the initial foundational concept. This time around there's no need to worry about… Continue

The Food of Writing

It occurred to me that every writer has a routine, or certain habits when working on their masterpiece. My routine is usually working from about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, very often staying up past midnight while the family are fast asleep in bed. Luckily I don't have to get up early in the morning, because I can lazily breastfeed my baby in bed and she enjoys her cuddles.

Alongside my routine, I need snacks. These vary according to my mood. For example at the moment I am…
