Jade Kerrion – Alpha males and the women who can kick their butts @JadeKerrion

Alpha males and the women who can kick their butts I’ve read a great deal of paranormal fiction in the past few years, many of them romances. In keeping with the alpha male archetype, many of the novels portray the man as not just an alpha male, but possessed of superhuman qualities. He’s a vampire...

Love Me or Leave Me by Kristine Mason @KristineMason7

Carter glanced at her. At the sexy sundress she wore and imagined slipping the thin shoulder straps down, baring her breasts and taking a taut nipple into his mouth. Swallowing hard, he focused on the road. He hadn’t even kissed her, didn’t even know if she’d want him to, and he already fantasized about...

Peter Clenott – Cover Love @PeterClenott

Cover Love Back in the old days when I started to write, there were no computers (at least no workable ones for writers). There was no social media, there was no Amazon, no eBooks, no Create Space. The books I enjoyed you could actually hold in your hand, turn the pages, and when you were done you...

Author Interview – Joshua Silverman

How do you work through self-doubts and fear? Usually I tell myself to shut up. But in all seriousness, every artist, whether you’re a painter, sculptor, illustrator, or writer has self-doubt and fear. We’re putting ourselves and emotions on display when we present our work to the public. As a life-long...

Author Interview - Brian Bloom @BrianB_Aust

What books did you love growing up? My mother was a bit of a romantic. She read me Peter Pan and all the Beatrix Potter stories before I could read, and my grandmother – when she visited – used to read a few pages of Swiss family Robinson every night before I went to bed. I remember them all and I’m...

The Curse Giver by Dora Machado @DoraMachado

Chapter Eleven THE MAN CRAMMED IN THE COFFIN with Lusielle wasn’t much for words. Talking to a toad would have bettered her chances to learn something pertinent, let alone helpful. A toad would have been more forthcoming and less irritating as well. She didn’t give a hoot about highborn and their bloody...

Living The Testimony by Deidre Havrelock @deidrehavrelock

My Personal Testimony I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, as a Cree/Irish borderline Catholic girl, meaning this half-breed rarely went to Mass. However, I did pray every night.

Brian Bloom – How to research your story before writing your book? @BrianB_Aust

How to research your story before writing your book? Probably the most sensible way to address this question is by way of a case study.  I am in the process of marketing my factional novel The Last Finesse. When it was first conceived, it was to be about nuclear energy and it was to be a “prequel”...

Midshipman Henry Gallant in Space by H. Peter Alesso

CHAPTER 5 The hours in a day were never enough. Each watch, report, and exam seemed like an organized disruption to Gallant’s desire for food and sleep. Each irreverent “Attention Midshipman Gallant” that blared over his head, called him away to some new obligation. A week after re-qualifying, Gallant...

Michelle Rabe – Why Book Covers are So Important @michrabe

Why Book Covers are So Important Think about the last time you went to a book store and were trying to decide which one to buy. What draws you to a particular novel? Is it the title? Is it the recommendation of a friend? Is it a favorite author? Is it the cover? For me it’s the cover. The cover is your...

Standing Stark: The Willingness to Engage by Carla Woody @CarlaWoody1

Chapter Two: Beyond Words I was leading a very mainstream life. While I had some sense of purpose, I additionally had an underlying feeling that something was seriously lacking.
