Just finished reading "The Ice People" by Rene Barjavel, published by Pyramid Books.
I remember that both Mom and Dad had both read this book when it first came out in 1970. I do recall seeing it in he new arrival section of Michelle's Bookstore in the Brywn Mar Shopping Center in Jacksonville, North Read more of this blog post »

So, you might have noticed that things look new in these parts. I have had the old blog a long time. Like a ridiculous amount of time in internet years, I think all the way back to 2010 or so. It went through many iterations but always stayed relatively the same in format. This year I decided to ent

Well, it appears that the United States has narrowly avoided its first-ever debt default, which would have unleashed an economic cataclysm upon the country and thrown us into an instant recession, as well as destroyed what little remains of our international reputation.

Top Notch Science Fiction!

Time flies by.

The theme for the month was an easy pick.

Not sure where the month went, but somehow we find ourselves in June. Maybes it was Mother's Day weekend or attending Motor City Comic Con that made the time fly by.

I did make some head way with the novella, but not enough to where I am pleased Read more of this blog post »

High Tide by R.L. Stine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'll keep my five star rating for equal parts nostalgia of it being Fear Street and for it actually being a really good story.

Before I go into fully reviewing High Tide, can I just mention that its cover was one of those Fear Street books you probabl Read more of this blog post »

I've decided that I needed to get my thoughts down and share my outline for content I'd like to create in 2023. No self-inflicted pressure or deadlines. Just me and these four walls I call my studio.

Published today : One Precious Second

My breath stutters from my mouth,
My feet stand still, forgetting how to move,
Frozen in a space of the universe,
Stumbling, falling, finding love of another,
In a spasm of a second,
Every cell of mine expanded, changed, swelled.

Eller hur? Här händer inte mycket just nu. Det beror på att det händer lite väl mycket på annat håll, så jag hinner inte uppdatera bloggen så ofta.

Under tiden rekommenderar jag att följa mig på Instagram och kanske Twitter istället. Du hittar mig på @fredrikpwinter på båda.

Gott nytt år!

It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? A year ago, I had nearly completed my first draft of the novel, The Fatherhood Mandate.

After reading a Reddit post praising Bargain Booksy, I was very excited to have my book featured today. Well, it's been 6 hours since the email went out and it has yet to generate a single sale, so I think it's safe to say this has been my biggest fail so far as a book marketer.

Even though I had gotten seven (7) Pfizer shots, they apparently weren't enough to protect me against the new Arcturus Subvariant, which I may or may not have smuggled in from Hungary.

I watch The Young Bucks in awe. AEW showcases this tag team and in their wrestling matches, these boys are astounding! They fight together, depend on each other, communicate constantly (verbally and nonverbally!) and trust each other until they get the victory.
