The July edition of The Big Thrill

The July edition of  The Big Thrill is out. For this month, I had the opportunity to interview a best-selling author, Alan Jacobson, about his new novel The Dark Side of the Moon, an exciting tale and the fourth book in his ongoing series.

A book from my youth

My new column at the Topshelf Magazine deals with a book I read a long time ago. It took me a long time to research for it, to the point that, for a second there, I thought I had imagined it!

Went through an interrogation

Fellow author from Rebel e Publishers interviewed me for her blog. Except, she calls it an interrogation.

Here´s my summary. Only a few books. Some of them assignments from The Big Thrill, but managed to include a couple of classics.

The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne
Ruler of the Night by David Morrell
Oath of Honor by Mattew Benley
Say Nothing by Brad Parks
Doctor No by Ian Fleming
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Full Wolf Moon by Lincoln Child
The Spy Across the Table by Barry Lancet

I must add a debt of gratitude to NetGalley for granting me access to some of those books.
