Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
Due to waiting for feedback on a novel, doing revisions and editing on others, and in general trying to hold off on starting too many big new projects (because I need to also publish them at some point), I've written a lot of short stories this year. In fact, in the last 3 months I've... Continue Reading →
I probably haven't read as many How To books on writing as I should, but I've read a few and I came across this one as a recommendation for further reading from another one. They talked very highly of it and of Dwight Swain, so I figured "Why the hell not?" First thing's first: This... Continue Reading →
This book follows on from Frank Ford's adventures, after he's been appointed by an alien race to be the custodian of Earth. (You can find my review of book 1 here if you want to get caught up.) In the second book, our focus is taken away from Earth and onto other exciting planets. The... Continue Reading →
The Gatewatch is a fantasy novel with roots in Norse mythology and it releases today! I was lucky enough to chat with author Joshua Gillingham about his exciting debut. Hi Joshua. Tell me about your book. I can guess what it's about from the cover, but what's the story? Hello Trey! Thank you... Continue Reading →
Finally! It's been more than two years since I read the first book in this excellent series - the review of which you can find here - and I'm so happy to finally have this in my hand. I remember when I read the first one, thinking it was one of the best indie book... Continue Reading →
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
The premise is simple: psychic woman helps police detective solve crime. It sounds a bit stereotypical when I put it like that, but the way it's executed is fascinating. Ann Marcus is our main character. She wasn't born with that last name, that was one she took as she got older. She took it after... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've written anything on this blog, and while I have plans for some future posts and reviews, nothing is going as planned because of the Covid-19 outbreak. So I figured I'd write a bit about that first, and then about how my writing is going. If you've paid attention, you... Continue Reading →
All your favorite fairy tales from when you were little, rewritten for adults in a brilliant and grotesque display. I love this. I'm on a horror binge at the moment, but I'm busy wading my way through Stephen King's IT, so it was great to interrupt that with a short story like this. A palette... Continue Reading →
A beautiful fantasy book about a girl (Ariette) who suddenly learns she's special, when a group of people with magical powers come across her and deem her 'the savior'. The Chosen One. Ariette doesn't doubt such people exists, after all she's been attacked by Vampyrs before and she's seen the Supes. But what can she... Continue Reading →
