Have you ever done a writing collaboration? Hands please… okay here is a sampling of my experience working with Rie Sheridan Rose. First off let’s just reaffirm the fact that I am just a blogger, blogtalk radio host and occasional ”author”. I put that in parentheses because I mostly write the way I would talk, simple, to the point, not much in the way of large adjectives, painting pictures with words is not my “thing”. I think we can agree with that, can’t we?

Generally the way we…

Trust me I have plenty of skulls’ heads to make covers for this series. Did the eyeball catch your eye on this one? The best part of any of my covers is they invite you to read the content inside, which is really the best part. Sam Lang delivers an amazing second installment to his Reprisal series of digital short stories. His ability to build tension is just amazing. The prose in the story is set at a nice cadence and overall the story just rocks. Each read I get on this series further…

I love to see what comes from this author next. Is it sci-fi, YA, kids, horror, I mean you never know what is coming at you from Cody Toye. Revelation is an excellent addition to his young Intangible Series. There is plenty of new stuff to grow his universe. The action is swift and moving; the characters are dynamic and incredibly different. The essence of the story is not the violence but the means of it. What are they gaining? Why? Who benefits? If this is not on your radar, you should get…

Many moons ago I wrote a post on “Shadow Cay” by this author. Since then many things have happened to both of us; I think all good. She is having her novel made into a film; I may be in it in name, or perhaps they will find a way to kill me in it. I am not going to reread the post I wrote back in the day, it may be too painful; hopefully my writing has improved since then. You may read it, go ahead and have a chuckle on me. My point is as I have moved forward; she has gone…

 Anyone will tell you a good gumbo should reflect the tastes and eccentricities of the cook. The NOLA Gumbo series will have a hearty blend of romance, intrigue, suspense, ghosts, witches, voodoo, and a lot of spicy New Orleans flavor. Created by the author of To My Senses, Recovery, and the soon to be released Sacrifice, Alexandrea Weis will captivate readers and put a new spin on life in the Big Easy as well as the people that make up this fascinating city. Each story in the series will…

Happy Thursday everybody. The march to the weekend continues and there is much ground to cover. Big Daddy Abel will be my guest on The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show August 3rd @12pm EST to discuss this and many other things. Our conversations go ALL over the place, so who knows what is going to be going on. I do know that my Family will be in the audience for the concert they give at a park near us on Thursday evening August 4^th. Party!! Here is the link for The…

The game plan for this series is to drop in a new episode once every three weeks. The schedule is tight; the authors are willing and the franchise moves forward full speed ahead. Paul D. Brazill has to be pleased with the many positive reviews he has received and the rankings he has enjoyed: not just here in the U.S.A. but also in the U.K. He has charted for sales in the Top 100 of Amazon for his category on both. My hope one day is to nail this busy guy down so I can pick his brain on my…

My Upcoming Novel: They!

    'They!' is an upcoming novel by Chuck Keyes. It's somewhat based on the fifties classic sci-fi movie 'Them!', thus bringing the horrific concept into twenty first century. You'll meet, Katie Ann Morganson, a very unusual teenager who's a champion sharpshooter. She's like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Cinderella combined within one…

Cynella's Gift

     This is an awe-inspiring sci-fi story about a below average man who has scores of personal evils. He’s an insulin-dependent diabetic that drinks too much beer, eats too much junk food, chain smokes cigarettes, indulges in marijuana, and he’s suffering from deep-rooted guilt. Due to his beer guzzling stupidity, Jimmy's young daughter is a comatose patient in a…

My Apollo Trilogy Novels:…

  My objective is to offer readers enjoyable sci-fi stories that are not over their heads with deliberate uncommon words and concepts that only an Einstein can comprehend. Exciting, easy to read stories offering the readers much more than science fiction. I love twisting comedy, love, drama, adventure, horror, action, and mystery into my stories. I truly hope that you will enjoy reading them…

The week just keeps getting better and things are heating up here on Gelati’s Scoop and The G-ZONE. I have a self-published novel for you here in “Days of Iron”.  The author is from Australia, the work is interesting to say the least, and the ending is well, let’s hope there is more to come. Here is the synopsis and a little something about the author from Amazon :

“In the future, genetic engineering has created three species of humans. H*** sapiens – the Sapes – are the…

Okay if you are late just listen in to the archives so you don’t miss a word. Here is the link to the show:

Generally I stay to lighter reads, things explode, people die, spies are caught, the bad guy gets his in the end, that kind of stuff. When I received this novel, I was on the fence about it. Was it my thing? Could I groove on her universe? The answer is YES, I did and I am a better person for taking the time to have this author expand my mind and my soul. If you are looking for a read that is going to make you question the core of your being, what life is about, perspective, forgiveness,…
