Depraved – Tales of a Vampire Hunter II a review
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review but in truth, I would have paid for it anyway. In Depraved; Tales of a Vampire Hunter II, we rejoin Oliver and Miranda exactly where the first book left off—with the couple on the run, in love and questioning their […]

The Wolves of Paris – A fresh take on an old story
Stories about vampires and werewolves have been around for centuries but Michael Wallace manages to bring a fresh take to the old tale. Far afield from his stories about Later Day Saints enclaves in scrubby patches of desert, in The Wolves of Paris, Wallace takes us back centuries to 1450 to weave a tale of […]

THE END at last!
Every indie author knows typing the six letters that form two words at THE END of your book is never THE END of the work. Those six letters that form two words are really just the beginning of the long road to finally hitting publish. Multiple rewrites, asking for beta readers, taking in and using […]

I’m thankful for the Marines
During this holiday, when we should reflect on what we are most thankful for, I am thankful for the Marines. Of course, I’m thankful for all the men and women who currently serve, thankful for my fellow veterans and retirees who have served in every branch, but it’s the Marines with which I have a […]

An interview with the author of A Fine Fix, Gale Deitch
A good writing group, one that offers thoughtful help and criticism, is hard to come by. I’ve been honored to be a member of The Novel Experience for several years and Gale Deitch is one of the reasons the group has been so valuable to me. As we’ve both worked through our novels with the […]

Along the Watchtower by David Litwack – a review
David Litwack says, “Nothing inspires his writing like the beautiful scenery of Cape Cod.” The chilled crash of the shore and the craggy trees of the Cape are starkly evident in the pages of Litwack’s Along the Watchtower. The atmosphere he creates by means of the Cape is just one of the many successful aspects […]

I blame Congress
Call me crazy, but I blame Congress for the words I keep hearing from everyone who knows what happened to me last week. Get a gun and a dog. That’s what everyone keeps telling me since I discovered a burglar in my house. I am one of 800,000 federal employees who were ordered to stay […]

An interview with author of The Remaining, DJ Molles
After reading and frankly, becoming obsessed with the four-book series of The Remaining, I had to talk to the author and find out more about…well, everything. I reviewed the series a few weeks ago, but couldn’t resist the urge to toss a few questions at D. J. Molles. First, if you’ve not heard about the […]

A fresh take on an old story
Stories about vampires and werewolves have been around for centuries but Michael Wallace manages to bring a fresh take to the old tale. The story seems far afield from his other work but that doesn’t hamper Wallace’s ability to take us back centuries to weave a tale of sorcery and deceit. The year is 1450 and the […]

The Remaining – a review
I don’t wear combat boots anymore, but in my heart, I’m still a soldier. Perhaps that’s why I’m forever drawn to stories about ordinary people who, through heroic efforts, overcome impossible odds. That’s exactly the kind of story I found in D. J. Molles’ series, The Remaining. I haven’t been this enthralled, this transported by […]
