Hi, Kristin!

First of all, sorry for the response lag - I am NOT good at looking at my Goodreads page!

Second of all... if you enjoyed The Colony saga, I'd hit up Terminal next, followed by Strangers and Stranger Still. They're totally different, but lots of action and suspense in all of them.

Thanks for reading (and for having patience with unresponsive writers)!

Cheers,
MbC(less)

The Huffington Post Says I Shouldn't Publish a Lot - Should I?

Recently, The Huffington Post published an article titled "Dear Self-Published Author: Do NOT Write Four Books a Year." In it, the author stated, among other things, "no one" can write as many as four books a year and have them actually be good; that "Our most highly esteemed, widely applauded, prodigiously awarded, read and revered authors know this to be true"; that "first tier" authors aren't t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Michaelbrent Collings  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Fear fed on ignorance, just as ignorance fed on fear.  The great truths were always circular.”
Michaelbrent Collings, Apparition

“We Facebook. We Tweet. We play online games with other people. Millions of ways to “connect.” And yet we as a society are more lonely and isolated than perhaps ever before.”
Michaelbrent Collings, Apparition

“Don’t you see, Billy? It’s not about how long we live in the eyes of strangers, or how great we look to them. It’s the way we live, and how we look in the eyes of those we love.”
Michaelbrent Collings, Billy: Messenger of Powers

Topics Mentioning This Author

“To be thoroughly conversant with Man’s heart, is to take our final lesson in the iron-clasped volume of Despair”
Edgar Allan Poe

“The unknown must always be feared. Survival demands it.”
Michaelbrent Collings, Terminal

“Legion floats in darkness. Silence.
It has been a long time since he knew such silence. As a child, he was taught to act in union with his two brothers. Their insane father insisted that he had only one child and refused to acknowledge more than one of them at a time. If more than one spoke, or made a fuss, or did anything to draw attention, or to threaten Father’s mad view of reality—one child, one child, ONE CHILD!—the repercussions were swift and painful.
So the three children learned to act in concert. What one learned, the others did. When one was injured—as happened often, given Father’s extreme methods of teaching—the others hurt themselves to match.
They had to match.
They had to act as one.
And eventually, madness being a most contagious disease, the three brothers genuinely believed themselves to be one.”
Michaelbrent Collings, Stranger Sins
