Warrior Angel: A great modern fairy tale, that’s easy to get into.

Warrior Angel By Liz and Margarette Weis

Rating : A great modern fairy tale, that’s easy to get into.

Okay we all see these books all the time in the stores. They are romance novels that have a tint of supernatural or fantasy to them. There has been at least a thousand of them in existence ranging from Twilight to Hunter’s Moon to Stardust. As with the ones just mention, they were about love stories between humans, vampires, were wolves and fallen stars. (just in case you…

The Bourne Legacy- Out With The Old, In with The Awesome

The Bourne Legacy- Out With The Old, In with The Awesome

Rating: This book was a hell of a lot of fun

Do you remember all those Ludlum novels that were fantastic. The ones that kept you on the edge of your seat and were written intelligently that you weren’t exactly having a brain drain while reading He wrote the Bourne trilogy (that were adapted into movies) and sadly died in 2001. Then some one, this Eric Van Lustador had the gull to buy the rights to Ludlum’s masterpieces…

The Road Virus Heads North : A Good Quick Read, If You Like Horror

Stephen King’s The Road Virus Heads North

Overall Rating: Good, quick read, if you like horror

The Road Virus Heads North is not truly a novel and is only a short story about fifty pages long. It can be found online and is in his short stored collections, I found it in everything’s Eventual.

The story…

Rating: Totally worth the read……………………..

Looking Glass Wars: Alice The Way You Never Seen Her Before……………………………..

Overall book rating: Awesome…………………………………

Okay, any one who has every visited my website, read my blogs, hubs, or just simply asked me about fantasy books, I always go on this rant of how they are all the same. They are all Lord of The Rings knock offs and Harry otter is too over rated, and how the Golden Compass is the only book that offered world we have never seen before. Well I’ll save you that rant.…

"Keep Your Head To The Sky"

The emotional content churning through my veins has its origins in the simple yet profound sound of music. The beating of congas in The South Bronx on Summer nights, gave way to the glorious gospel melody floating from neighborhood churches where Sunday mornings sat enthroned. The progression from Doo Wop on street corners to the "Inner Visions" of Stevie Wonder had me looking towards heaven waiting for the perfect beat with the perfect lyrics. I fell in love with love songs, and young girls… Continue

Dead Night (unpublished)

Hi all!

I wonder if anyone would like to help me out? I'm fairly new here, and I've recently written a book (it's not a great paving slab of a thing, and is still in progress) and I'm thinking of perhaps trying to get published. The problem is, I don't really have an exact audience. I asked around my friends, and my best friend said that it was most likely a book for (particularly mad) teenagers, and another of them said it could be anything depending on how you thought about it…

Hello

Hello every one I'm new to this site.   I was looking for  groups to  join where other authors come and learn from one another. I became a first time author last year. My first book At a Glance was published in March which I wrote when I was 17 and my second On the Bedroom Wall was published in September. November it was featured at the International Book Fair. I am currently writing the follow up to OTBW (New Beginnings) as we speak.  And then end that series with Sins of the Father. So…

Lighten Up!

Unless you’re the prude of your generation, everybody likes a humorous story. Some light-hearted anecdote to bring a smile or a gentle chuckle.

 

Many authors will insert humor into their stories, even if the subject matter is serious or the tone is dramatic. Humor gives the reader a rest, a small break before diving back into the deep end. My favorite example comes from the Hitchcock movie “Topaz”. The entire movie concerns spies. However, the one small moment comes near the…
