Magical things are coming your way! Well, magical and science fiction-y. I will soon be publishing another book of short stories. These stories will contain fantasy or sci-fi elements, or sometimes both blended together. This will be my tenth published work and I am excited to bring these tales to life in the pages of a new book. Here is a teaser with a little sneak peek into "Four Items," a tale in Cyborgs and Sorcery:
Also coming your way early this year is an erotic thriller set in the 1930s. The Blood Files: The Case of Arnus Mortem is the first of a trilogy of horrific short stories co-written by myself and the wonderful B.J. Taylor.
Vampires running loose in San Francisco? Who better to investigate than a pair of P.I.'s? When Randall and Penny are given a missing person's case, they don't realize the true monsters behind what's going on are no mere mortals. Soon, they find out just how far the vampires and their minions will go to wreak havoc and destruction on the city. Can two humans save the day or will America be overrun with the undead?
I hope you are ready for some thrills and chills this year, friends. More amazing things to come!
Hello, all!
It's a new year and that means a new reading goal and new books to be discovered and enjoyed. My 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge has started off well. I plan to read 120 books this year with 19 down already. I'm coming in hot!
So let's get down to it. Here are the indie books I read and reviewed in January.
He Left Her at the Altar, She Left Him to the Zombies
by Katie Cord
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
I
enjoyed this collection of short stories involving zombies in one
fashion or another. Some stories were funny, some tragic, some sweet,
but all were well written. I hope to read more from this author soon.
Dead Men Don't Pay
by Tim Hemlin
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
For
such a short story, this was a well written mystery. Fast paced, but
with enough detail to draw you in, this "who-done-it" tale was a
pleasure to read.
Wedding Bands
by Ev Bishop
Rating: 5 Stars
Review:
An
enjoyable read! The characters were flawed but relatable and the story
was parts fun, heartbreaking, and sweet. A great way to spend an
afternoon.
Hooked
by Ev Bishop
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
A
bit predictable, but still adorable, this story was a nice, cozy read
for a lazy day. Now I just have to read the next in the series!
Spoons
by Ev Bishop
Rating: 5 Stars
Review:
This is a great read featuring characters with real world problems. Tears, laughter, and a happy ending within.
A Neophyte's Tale
by CK Dawn
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
This
was a heartwrenching glimpse into Abbey's life before she discovers who
she really is, and finds her place among a new family. Having already
read Cloak of Shadows, I enjoyed getting to know more about Abbey's
past.
After the Before
by Jessica Gomez
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
A
dark but interesting story with a satisfying ending. The plot was
intriguing, if not a bit cliche, with a female who constantly needs
saving and a hot guy that every girl he gets near throws themselves at.
There are also a good amount of editing issues that should be addressed.
Even so, the story shines through and I found myself riveted to the
page and rooting for the unlikely couple to get through the drama.
Little Brats: Taboo A-Z
by Selena Kitt
Rating: 3 Stars
Review:
I
enjoy short naughty stories and this collection was pretty decent. The
taboo part wasn't too out there and it was nice that the characters had
varying looks and personalities. Unforunately, the sex scenes in each
story sounded almost exactly the same so after reading a couple, it was
basically a repeat with new characters.
There you go, faithful readers. I hope to read some more awesome indie books this year and share my finds with you. Happy reading!
