This book was mentioned by Cathryn Parry while she spoke about Hooks and Plotting. So naturally I had to go out and download a copy of this for my Kindle. She was right too. It is jammed packed with really great information. This book is great for any type of writer. It does not matter whether you are a Romance Writer or a Mystery Writer. Even those who write Non-fiction would benefit from what

Oo here is the first book of the Movie Tie for the TV series The Walking Dead. It is on my need to get list since I have become such a big fan of the Walking Dead. The TV series and books are not so much about the zombies but the characters who are fighting to survive. Robert has created some of the best plots I have seen. The constant conflict and character development are what

Ooo here's another book by Stephanie Bond. I read her book Stop the Wedding back around Christmas time and I just loved it.    Be careful what you wish for... When a lowly antiques dealer who's in love with the governor's girlfriend releases a genie from a magic lamp, he unwittingly wishes himself into a hole the size of the Grand Canyon!

The cover caught my eye on the Mystery Romance, making this another book for my reading que. After her promotion from law firm Runner to Investigator, Kathleen Turner is learning the ropes of her new job from none other than assassin-for-hire Kade Dennon, a situation her boyfriend Blane Kirk is none too happy about. But the lessons with Kathleen take a back seat when Kade becomes a target.

The Fall of the Governor Alright, so I will admit, I am a Walking Dead fanatic. I missed out on the show last year and it wasn't until a marathon ran on AMC back around Halloween of this year that I became hooked. It only took one episode to make me a die hard zombie fan. I am so glad to see that there are plenty of movie tie in books out there for this series. So if you are wondering if

  Here's a new mystery thriller. I see it is part of the Kindle Select program. I will be adding this book to my to read que. I'm just not sure when I will be able to get to it, but it does sound good.   Nadia’s memories of her father are not happy ones.

Talk about a strange story. This one sounds very strange from Stephenie Meyer. The movie will be coming out soon. Another being takes over the body of a human girl and she refuses to move out of her own body. The two of them share feelings for a human boy who has been in hiding. This sounds of paranormal/sci-fi.

Lots of great advice. I just wished there was a little bit more but it is still well worth the read for any author - self pubed or otherwise. Great info for blogging, facebook and tweeting. Oh and check out the section on writing your Author Bio - makes this book well worth buying. I gave this book 4 out of 5 ****

I was so glad when I came across this book today. I was able to reformat all my Kindle editions so they now have table of contents. It has easy to follow instructions, much easier to use than the Smashwords style guide. (Sorry Mark, what can I say.) If you publish with KDP then you really need to have a copy of this book. I gave this book 5 out of 5 *****

The Ohnegott is a pretty quick read since it is only about 10k words. It is written more like a long - short story. Charles Timm does have a good plot in this story but his writing style is awkward making the story hard to read. Should this story were receive a good edit and the writing style were to become smoother I would be more than happy to give it another read and re-evaluation.

This was such a good read, an enjoyable tale. I had great difficulty putting this book down. I highly recommend this book to all “Once Upon a Time” fans. This book is very much on the same concept as the TV series mentioned above. It is where the author, Alex Flinn takes several different fairy tales and gives them a different perspective on what they were all about, from the view
