Elemental Cascade: A Review
This is the third book in the Fuel to the Fire series by David Staniforth and I was given a copy in return for my review. I also reviewed both the first and second books in the series. This one didn’t start off quite where the previous one finished and it took me a moment […]

Flights of Fantasy: New Release
The next anthology from Raptor Retreat Press has been released and it’s only 99p! Flights of Fantasy is pretty obviously a fantasy collection. It is raising money for Ben Cassidy as he is fighting cancer just like Brandon Hale was last year. Being in the US comes with scarily high medical bills so he needs […]

A Mug’s Game: A Review
I was given a copy of this ebook by the author, C. D. Swanson, in exchange for my review. This book started of very intriguing, and had a very interesting main character. It’s a bit of a mystery/thriller type book and has some elements of science fiction with the references to advanced video gaming. I […]

Writing Through Grief
Writing for me is now mostly a way of life. It’s part of every day, my routine and a lot of my conversations. I tell stories. I paint scenes with a thousand words, and I love doing it. For the most part it makes me feel better, makes me feel like the world is right […]

The Avengers – Age of Ultron: A Review
I think it was pretty obvious I was going to go see this film. The first avengers is still one of my favourite films and I must have watched it 20+ times now. I also totally love Joss Whedon’s character writing skills. Not to mention his dialogue. This film sort of picks up where the […]

The blurb for this novel really made me rather interested in reading and finding out what the story was about, as it mentioned the CERN project and as the title suggests the quest for the Higgs-Bosun particle, […]

I thought I’d post those example pieces here for people to see the difference between a scene written one way and then the other. Example 1 Clark turned the final corner to reach the […]

Fast and Furious 7: A Review
I think it was pretty obvious I was going to go and see this film. I reviewed pretty much the rest of thr franchise over the years and liked all of them. I couldn’t not see the last film Paul Walker was in. Like most of the fast and furious films you do have to […]

Pathfinder – Adventure Card Game: A Distraction
I recently acquired myself a new board game/card game. It’s a little like Dominion and Dungeons and Dragons but not quite either of them. Mostly this is a deck building game where you adventure through different scenarios and try to beat the bad guys before your time runs out. You have characters and classes like […]

Where’s Lolly: A Review
This is the third book in the Class Heroes by Stephen Henning, and I was given a copy of the ebook in exchange for my review. I loved the first two books in the series and the plotline in both, but this one is by far the best. Lolly is just perfect in this story […]
