Book Review - Songs for the New Depression by Kergan Edwards-Stout

It isn't often I read a book that touches my soul, but that is exactly what happened with Songs for the New Depression. Author Kergan Edwards-Stout has crafted a story that is beautiful, tragic, and consuming. Once you start this one, you won't be able to stop. And keep some tissues handy.
Meet Gabriel Travers. A man approaching 40, Gabe is ill with HIV and he thinks he's dying; no, he knows he's dying. Nobody believes him but he knows it. His life hasn't been everything he wanted it to be, but whose has, eh? The world he lived in back in the 80's is something he recalls fondly but which in the present day is a mere memory and a passel of regrets. He never found true love. He never became what he thought he wanted to be.
He lets his thoughts drift back to his high school days and the first love of his life, Keith. Keith was perhaps the only person who knew the potential Gabe possessed and it was with Keith, and only Keith, that Gabe shared the savagery of an attack that has left him scarred ever since.
Gabe's story is one of personal redemption. In what he believes to be the finality of his life, he at last sets out on the journey of self discovery that will hopefully rid him of his regrets and put to rest the bitterness of a past that he's never been able to shed.
Readers can delight in Gabe's journey because it is one that we all at some point in our lives, for whatever varying reasons, have to take. Maybe Gabe isn't the classic literary hero, he is a very flawed character in many respects, but no one is perfect, and anyone who reads this tale will relate to Gabe in a very personal manner. His love of Bette Midler, his reliance on the help of his mom's wife, a priest who loves country music, and his own remembrances of what he sees as a life half lived will open the door to the reality of what he actually is, was, and will become.
Kergan Edwards-Stout has written a masterpiece. A bravura debut novel, its heartfelt message is ultimately timeless.
Mr. Edwards-Stout, well done, sir.   5 Big Stars.

7 Questions For Me

I am deeply honored to be included in writer Scott Morgan's 7Q4 spotlight series on his website. Scott selects authors from various genres and asks them specific questions about their work, their lives, and their interests. I was worried that my answers were too long but he welcomed them and made me feel very much at home in his forum. I urge you to check out his website and his work. Scott is a talented author himself and his anthology Short Stack: A Collection is one of the best new books I've read in the past year. Thank you, Scott, for your time and your attention. You are a shining example of today's literary world.

Book Review - Short Stack by Scott Morgan

One of the best collections I've read in some time, Short Stack is a book that is filled with gems that stand alone quite nicely but which coalesce into a nice anthology with ease. Written by the talented Scott Morgan, one of the most promising writers I've discovered this past year, the writing style he utilizes is enviable indeed.
The poetry includes such delicious nuggets as Bells, A Cat's Life, Muscle, and Give Me Credit. Each one is written with a deft hand and a knowledge of literature that impart their gifts to the text in a seemingly effortless manner. The short fiction pieces are just as engaging and entertaining. Jasmine, Perfect Rock, Brown Paper Bags, and Bruce Goodlooks To The Rescue are only the finest examples of Mr. Morgan's talents at writing short stories which are every bit as memorable as any novel you've ever read.
After reading this collection, I came across Scott on Twitter and developed a nice rapport with him. His website is chock full of niceties but it is his eagerness to help other writers attain the best of their talents that I find the most admirable of his qualities.
Scott Morgan is definitely a writer the world is going to be hearing a lot about in the coming years. A talent like his is too much to keep secret and fortunately he isn't inclined to try. Short Stack is a sampling of his ability to write text that is both crisp and fresh while utterly enthralling, and his poetry is nothing less than excursions into the mind of the one who wrote them; instances of emotion transformed into words with honesty and clarity akimbo. Well done indeed.   5 Stars.

Book Review - Galley Proof by Eric Arvin

Whenever Eric Arvin writes a new book I cannot wait to read it. This is one of the most talented novelists of the past decade and his brand of gay fiction always satisfies because it speaks to more than just the homosexual audience. Eric writes about human emotions, feelings, and the drama which normally comes along with them. And his use of humor is always a delight.
Galley Proof is Eric's latest release. I read it in about twelve hours. This is the story of Logan Brandish, a writer from a small town who is about to unveil his latest novel. Logan lives a quiet life. He's got his boyfriend, their cat, and his best friend. His life seems full and he is happy with the status quo... until he meets the editor of his new book. Brock Kimble is handsome and alluring in a dangerous kind of way; dangerous in that he makes Logan wonder if the life he's been living is really what he wants after all.
The turmoil that Brock's entry into his life creates causes Logan to flee his quiet life for a while so that he can make some sense of the quandary his emotions have become. He goes to Italy to regroup where the natural beauty of the place, along with the local scenery of men, gives him close to the distraction that he was hoping to find. But he comes to discover that it's only a temporary escape from the problems he left at home, and whether he can have his cake and eat it too becomes the crux for the difficult decisions that he must make.
Galley Proof is without a doubt Eric Arvin's best release since Suburbilicious. He writes with the heart of one who's been through the tale he's telling but also with the talent of a novelist who was just born to write. And this author thinks he was.   5 Stars.

Book Review - The Squirrel That Dreamt of Madness by Craig Stone

This rather delightful book is the debut novel for British writer Craig Stone. Aptly titled The Squirrel That Dreamt of Madness, the book tells the story of a man's departure from the world he knows and into that of one who lives in a park, unemployed, homeless, and amuses himself by creating stories around those who inhabit the park with him.
Inspired by true events from the author's life, the reader gets a look inside the mind of one who just chucked it all because the "little voice" in his head told him so, and he decided to listen. In the park there is a cast of characters to keep our hero occupied that includes the Park Keeper, who happens to be a midget with anger management issues, and a chubby dude called Moonface who lives up a tree because he broke both ankles escaping from a hospital and now he believes if he comes down the "floor will bite him." There's Matt who looks after Moonface, someone our narrator doesn't really care for, and a policeman named PC Whirled. Madness the Parrott is a favorite of all the park's inhabitants and Dorangel Vargas, who kills animals, is in a world unto himself.
The narrator, who calls himself Colossus Sosloss, spends his days interacting with all these miscreants and his observations of life, and the reason he's there in the first place, keep bringing him back to a reality that he tried to leave behind when he chose to become homeless at the book's outset.
"Better to live dreaming than dream of living" is a tagline that will stay with you after the story is told. Craig Stone has created a virtual world for himself in The Squirrel That Dreamt of Madness and its one that readers should visit. For there isn't a dull moment in the whole escapade. Well done.   5 Stars   Amazon Kindle Link: http://www.amazon.com/Squirrel-That-Dreamt-Madness-ebook/dp/B005JU92GO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Author Interview: http://kindle-author.blogspot.com/2011/10/kindle-author-interview-craig-stone.html Craig Stone Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/robolollycop   Carey Parrish

Book Review - Gray Justice by Alan McDermott

Gray Justice is one of those rare books that I found hard to break away from while reading. The story of a man who loses everything and decides to teach the justice system a lesson in letting criminals walk free, writer Alan McDermott tells the tale with the deftness of a scribe far more experienced than a first novel normally implies. Tom Gray is the protagonist in the book and his world is shattered when his son is killed by someone joy riding. Later his wife, unable to cope with the trauma, commits suicide. Set in England, Gray Justice tells what happens when Tom watches his son's killer go free... and what the devastation of his new life drives him to do. By kidnapping five serial offenders, Tom presents them to his countrymen via the internet and lets the public decide whether he should let them live, or not. The conclusion is not something I'm going to give away in even the tiniest detail, but suffice to say that it is an ending you won't forget. Gray Justice is a must for anyone looking for a great read and Alan McDermott has proven himself more than worthy of the title `writer.'

Book Review - Caregiver by Rick R. Reed

Bestselling author Rick R. Reed returns with a new novel that takes us back in time to 1991, at the height of the AIDS epidemic, and this talented scribe has crafted another tale that is practically impossible to put down.
Caregiver is the story of Dan and Mark, a young couple with problems mostly brought about by Mark's cocaine addiction. They've recently relocated to Florida from Chicago, in an attempt to distance Mark from the temptations brought about by being too close to his drug buddies. The issues Mark faces while trying to maintain his sobriety are only one in a myriad of difficulties that the couple grapples with while Dan looks for a job and the pair try to adjust to the change in dynamics of their lives.
In his spare time, Dan finds a new calling by volunteering as a "buddy" to AIDS patients at a local clinic. Adam is the young man to whom he's assigned and while struggling with his own problems at home Dan becomes attached to Adam, although in only a platonic sense. Dan also meets Adam's partner, Sullivan, who is not altogether comfortable with the appearance of Dan into his life but Adam's dependence on his new "buddy" is such that Sullivan doesn't interfere.
As Mark inevitably falls off the wagon and resumes his cocaine habit, Dan is left to deal not only with the feelings of betrayal and fear that he thought he'd left behind in Chicago, but also with Adam's seemingly self destructive behavior and a growing attraction to the aloof Sullivan that cannot be denied.
Rick R. Reed is a man who has proven his talent in more than one genre of literature. With Caregiver he shares his adeptness at involving his readers with characters in trouble as well as bringing in the human touch that sets his work apart from his peers. This is a book which will resonate with anyone who lived through the AIDS epidemic of the late eighties and early nineties, as everyone was touched in some way by the horrors of that era, but it is the eternal tenacity of the human spirit that Reed imparts in such a meaningful way with Caregiver.
5 Big Stars.

Book Review - The Detachment by Barry Eisler

John Rain has returned. New York Times bestselling author Barry Eisler has crafted a new thriller featuring his popular protagonist that is impossible to put down.
Perhaps the most exciting entry to date in the Rain series, The Detachment brings a mixture of elements together which provides more action that any James Bond film can boast. When John Rain is approached by former black ops veteran Colonel Scott Horton, with the notion of bringing about the demise of a trio of powerful players who are getting ready to launch a coup in America, Rain cannot resist the promise of a million dollar payday, or the challenge that comes with carrying out three assassinations that must look like "natural" deaths.
In order to carry out the assignment, Rain finds himself teamed with Dox. Ben Treven, a partner who has his own agenda on the side, and the shadowy Larison, whose own motivations are far from objective and potentially lethal to more than just the targets which he's been hired to eliminate. Spanning the globe from Tokyo and Los Angeles to Vegas and Austria, the team sets out to complete their mission – a detachment of individuals working together but for their own varying reasons.
Having been an Eisler fan for many years, The Detachment stands as one of those novels which takes you on a ride that will leave you breathless, giddy, and terrified at times, but undeniably wanting more from Barry and John Rain. And in true form, I've a feeling that both will keep delivering for a long to come.
5 Big Stars.

Why I Love The Nightlife

Without a doubt, one of the best gifts that 2011 gave me came in meeting Alicia Bridges. Alicia is the lady who scored one of the biggest hits of the disco era with her anthem "I Love The Nightlife (Disco Round.)" A true powerhouse, Alicia is still going strong and she is thrilling audiences like never before with her musical prowess and her irresistible personality. This is a lady who sets an example like few others.
I didn't have many friends when I was a kid. I was sort of lonely, I guess you could say. I never felt that I really "fit in" with other kids my age. Music, TV, and movies, those were my best friends. For a boy born in the mid-sixties, I was hardly in a category to myself; I just didn't know it then. So I listened to my records and watched all my favorite actors and dreamed about being like them when I grew up. I knew I couldn't sing, and I sure as hell have never been able to dance, but thanks to the people I watched and listened to, I have always been able to GET DOWN. And if I live to be 120, I hope I'm still rocking out.
"I Love The Nightlife" has always been one of my favorite songs. I can't tell you how many thousands of times I've probably played this song. I learned how to disco dance to this record. While Alicia Bridges was singing about "please don't talk about love tonight," I was practicing the moves I saw on shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. (This was in the pre- Solid Gold years.) And soon I was likely the only kid in the seventh grade at Valley Point Middle School who could do The Hustle with any real skill at all. It may not seem like a big achievement in the grand scheme of things, but believe me it was a big one for a kid like I was then.
Fast forward to 2011. I logged onto the internet one day and through the miracle of Facebook I got to "meet" Alicia Bridges. We struck up an immediate rapport. I always knew she was special and so I wasn't surprised that she was a warm person like I always imagined her to be. Alicia goes on her page and she posts videos for all her fans of the songs that she loves. She has an enviable following who absolutely adore her. Myself included.
The last decade has been one of the most important in my life. I have come full circle in the past ten years and I began making some of my own dreams come true in this span of time. Losing my grandmother was a big blow to me in 2003 but if I hadn't lost her I don't think I would have set out on the course of becoming a professional writer. I always loved to read as much as I loved other media and I knew that I could write from a young age. When I was a teenager, the Creative Arts Guild in my community hosted an annual writing contest and one year I won first prize. So I knew I had the talent; I just didn't have the opportunity.
After Granny died, I turned to the internet to fill the void in my life that her loss created. My family has always been there for me but they all had their own busy lives, and the friends I have did as well, so I let myself get involved in writer's groups where I met some really talented people who egged me on to start making my dreams into realities. They shared their knowledge, their agents, their publishers, and soon I felt strong enough to plot my own evolution into this field. I never dreamed that I'd be welcomed into this fold so warmly. The journey has been very nice because I have had such wonderful people to help me find my way.
Susaye Greene was among the first who really encouraged me to get out there and let people read my work. A true legend, Susaye has worked with such titans as Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. She also holds the honor being one of the legendary Supremes. Susaye's warmth, friendship, honesty, and unfaltering drive she openly shared with me, and through them she pushed me out of my shell. She is someone I consider a big part of my decision to take my writing into the public forum. Without Susaye, I might not be here today.
It's not that I ever thought I wasn't good enough to make it as a writer. I just never thought I'd have the chance. I always looked to my idols and my inspirations for the drive I needed whenever I felt like giving up, but the belief in myself was always there. I just needed the time to grow into the knowledge that the paths were opening up for me and it was my turn to get started, or spend the rest of my life wishing I had. Regret isn't a frame of mind I'm comfortable with either.
Looking to my past, I had to recognize and give credit where it was due. The stars who'd shown me that anything is possible are always there, beckoning me on with their shining examples, and I had the courage to follow their leads. Alicia Bridges, Susaye Greene, and countless others showed me the way because they'd paved the roads themselves long before I set out on them. I had to go through the loneliness that losing my grandmother created for me in order to find myself in the aftermath. I was always with Granny and being on my own after she died was a real wake up call for a boy who didn't know what to do anymore. Fortunately, I had people to help me along. I also had the fortitude to get started.
April 12, 2000. I went to Atlanta to see Tina Turner in concert at Phillips Arena. I remember sitting there, seventh row center, and watching her strut her stuff. That talent, that drive, that energy, those legs, I looked up at her and thought: "I want some of that!"
So you see now why I love the nightlife. The dreams and the passions of all those who showed me that you really can be anything you want still resonate within me whenever I don't feel strong enough to set out on a new quest. Through people like Alicia, Susaye, Tina, and countless others, I find the motivation to get myself started and stay the course.
I cannot thank them enough!
Happy 2012! Be whatever you want! Live your best life!
Love,C

Luke Romyn - In The Spotlight

When I first became acquainted with novelist Luke Romyn, I was initially attracted to his witty sarcasm that he displays splendidly through Twitter and Facebook. He always makes me laugh. I didn't even realize he was a writer at the start of our friendship. When I did get myself entrenched in his novel Blacklisted, I found myself captivated by a story that runs the gamut between mystery, suspense, and even horror. Luke writes with the experience of one who's been spinning tales with the ease of a seasoned scribe for eons. His words draw you in and give you nothing but a sheer thrill ride from start to finish. I just couldn't stop reading Blacklisted until the very last word.
I knew immediately that I had to interview Luke. I wanted to know more about the man who cracks me up so often with his online remarks, and who made me give up an entire weekend to get lost in his prose. His prior novel The Dark Path was another exciting read and I came to see that this is a man with a talent who will be around for a very long time doing what he does best. Living in Australia, Luke has worked in various jobs and one can see the influence his endeavors have on his writing. He is, quite simply, a force to be reckoned with. I'm more than pleased to present him here.
CP: Thanks for visiting with me, Luke.LR: Thanks for having me, Carey. CP: What part of Australia do you live in?
LR: I'm up in North Queensland, near the Daintree rainforest and with the Great Barrier Reef just off the coast. CP: Are you Australian by birth?
LR: I am indeed. I was born in Sydney around 36 years ago and have progressively made my way north ever since. My father was a Dutch immigrant and my mother was a Scottish one. So while I might have been born here my roots extend far beyond these shores. CP: You've had a colorful career. Bouncer, writer, worked on film sets; which is your favorite?
LR: Writer, definitely writer. While I might have worn many hats throughout my life, the moment I began writing, I knew I'd found my calling. The other things I do for money, writing I do for love. CP: Your books have proven popular with fans. Why do you think they have such appeal?
LR: I think the believable and flawed characters really appeal to readers. Mike from Blacklisted, for instance, is a young man who is often left without control of his situation, flung along and merely trying to cope with all that is thrown at him. Readers can relate to a character like this far more than a hero who knows all the answers and laughs in the face of danger. Seriously, what kind of idiot would do that? Nobody is perfect, and my stories tend to have characters succeeding despite all the perils they face, but not easily, not by far.CP: How would you describe your writing process? What do you have to do to get into "author mode?"
LR: I get asked this a lot and have no real deep and meaningful answer to it. I simply sit down at my computer and write – that's about it. Sometimes the stuff that comes out of my imagination is good, while other times it's a heap of extension leads tangled together and dipped in molasses before getting covered in fire-breathing ants. Yep, that's right, a mess.
   It comes down to hard work, really. There are no short cuts, no magical formulas, you simply write a story and keep the good bits, throw out the bad. I listen to music, get lost on the internet, dance voodoo naked and all the rest just like any other person, but in the end I write, hoping what comes out when I stop is somehow intelligible.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Luke-Romyn/166850695873?ref=nf
CP: Are you at work on a new book now? If so, what can you share about it?
LR: I wrote another five books during a year and a half break from work and am now in the process of bringing them all out. I was working with agents and publishers, but it seems the industry is in a massive amount of turmoil at the moment. So I'll make use of the wondrous services which have never been available before and strive to get my work out to the people who matter – my readers.
   I network with a large number of independent authors and have great support from people highly knowledgeable in the industry. They all agree with me in that I could spend my time approaching publishers who are currently doing nothing or I could get my work out there on my own. Sure, it's a lot of hard work, but I have access to a great editing team who help me immensely. In the end, my stories are appreciated by the people I want and my readers get what they need. CP: Of your novels, The Dark Path and Blacklisted, do you have a favorite? Was one more difficult to write than the other?
LR: I can't say that I like any of my books more than the rest. They all hold their own value in my heart and have all been like a part of me. They're my children, my small piece of input into a world which will soon forget I ever existed.    I think the hardest to write was The Dark Path, simply because I had never written anything on the scale I was attempting at that point. It was my first novel and I really had no idea. Beyond Hades, my next release, was also extremely hard due to the massive amount of research into Greek Mythology I had to do.    I'm now at the point where my writing is not forced, it flows easily from me and I know what I'm facing when I undertake a novel. The hard part is finding enough time, but that will come… in time.

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Path-Luke-Romyn/dp/1936222736/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325469072&sr=8-2
CP: What do you do when you aren't writing?
LR: I tend to work far too much. I own a couple of DVD rental shops (yes, they still exist) and also work as a bouncer on weekends in the biggest club in North Queensland. I don't manage security any more, that would take up too much of my time, but I help out wherever I can.
   I also like to get into the gym whenever possible and read at every opportunity. The best way an author can learn is to read every scrap of writing, from novels of different genres to magazine articles, and use that knowledge in their own work. It is all out there, just waiting. CP: Are you married/single/involved?
LR: I am very much married and have been for about 7 years now. My wife is my harshest critic and the first to read anything of mine. It's a great partnership.
CP: What kind of music do you like?
LR: My musical tastes vary greatly depending upon my mood. For the most part, I like heavy stuff from bands like Slipknot and Machine Head, but on other days I've been known to listen to softer tunes in order to survive the world.CP: What's your favorite movie?
LR: I think my favorite movie of all time would have to be Taken starring Liam Neeson. The story was simple, but Neeson's portrayal of a father searching for his kidnapped daughter was spectacular. CP: Favorite food?
LR: Pizza or KFC. Although my favorite restaurant does a dish called 'pollo veronese' which in essence is a chicken breast covered in a special garlic and bacon cream sauce. Spectacular.
CP: Favorite place?
LR: Such a simple question, yet incredibly difficult at the same time. I have travelled to so many places in my life it is quite hard to choose between them.    I once stayed in a small town called Murren, high up in the Swiss Alps, which was located on the edge of a cliff some 1400 meters above sea level. I mention it in Blacklisted, and it would have to be one of my favorite places of all time. They had no cars and it was an incredibly peaceful place, perfect just to escape from everything.

CP: Personal preference: long sleeves or barefoot weather?LR: I live in the tropics, but at times it gets far too hot for my liking. I've travelled to snowy areas but think I'd end up hating it after a while. So barefoot weather would have to be my answer, so long as I don't bake. CP: What advice or wisdom can you share?
LR: Go into every situation with your eyes wide open. Dreams drive us all on, but don't let them cloud you from reality, because that will likely spell your downfall.
   However, you must always follow your dreams, otherwise you'll just be a shell, living a life without hope or ambition. Each person needs to have a dream, and if they achieve it they need to get another and another… until they need to dream no more. CP: And what are you most proud of?
LR: I am most proud of the fact I have written books that people want to read, stories which help them escape from reality for a short time and step into my imagination for a ride through another world. I am proud that I have come so far on my own, forging ahead despite all the rejection letters, believing in myself and my work without waning, and knowing what I will one day become.    Not bad for a knuckle-dragging nightclub bouncer.

Nope, not bad at all. Although I'd never think of Luke as a knucklehead. He's a very nice guy with a really warm personality, and I get the feeling he's never met a stranger in his whole life! He certainly knows how to put one at ease. He is someone I admire, respect, and highly recommend if you're looking for a book that will make you forget everything else as you get lost in his words. Luke Romyn is a dynamic individual and I'm very proud to call him a friend.
