The Soul of the World (Legends of Amun Ra #2) by Joshua Silverman @jg_silverman #Fantasy

Kem dives to the ground in desperation, covering his head and neck from the rocks raining down. I didn’t see that coming. I thought I was quiet, he thinks. The announcement of Cadmus’ elimination booms over the intercom. Well, at least I don’t have to worry about a vengeful brother. The dust and...

Carin Kilby Clark Says Book Covers Help Readers Make an Informed Decision #WriteTip #Parenting

12:00 PM Posted by Mickalia Peck , , No comments
We’ve all heard the quote, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” But the reality is, just about every book is judged by its cover. And how could it not be – it’s the first thing you see and it’s what peaks your interest to look at additional details and determine if you want to buy or read the book. Many...

Troy McCombs Shares His Thoughts on #Horror Movies, Monsters & Tulpas @sonne3 #AmReading

7:30 AM Posted by Mickalia Peck , , No comments
Horror movies are a favorite of mine. Monsters are a love of mine. Some monsters move slow; they stumble and fall as they try to attack their victims. Some are fast and clever. Others are strong and vicious, bludgeoning their prey to death and spilling blood all across the movie camera lens or the...

It’s 8:30, and the phone rings. It’s reminiscent of one of those old-fashioned tellies most people only see in museums nowadays. If I wasn’t already at least a little awake, the sound would’ve had me sitting up groping around to answer the phone, only to realize it’s my alarm. What can I say? I have...

My computer connects to the internet and there is a world of wonder at my finger tips! This is not good! I actually started writing once upon a set of wheels in 2001 and I didn’t have a pc that connected to the internet, I had a word processor. I then had a pc but it was second hand and I lived in...

Ted Tayler Takes a Walk Down Memory Lane @ted_tayler #AmWriting #AmReading #Thriller

I joined the choir in my local church when I was eight years old. I left to sing a different type of music when I was eighteen. When my treble voice was in its prime I sang with the choir at evensong in Salisbury Cathedral. In the mid 60s I worked for the Kray family. This could send a shiver down...

8:00 AM Posted by Mickalia Peck , , No comments
Are there any books you really don’t enjoy? Well, any book that is badly written is really not going to be enjoyable. Mary Sues, inconsistent world details,  bad dialogue, all of that makes for an awful book. But there are some genres that other people really like that I can’t stand such as...
