First Newspaper Feature

Ihave accomplished many great things since becoming a published writer, and I must say having my first newspaper feature has been one of the highlights of my publishing career. It was a great feeling seeing the article in my local newspaper – the Barking and Dagenham Post. Everything seems so surreal right now. The article was featured in the entertainment section – What’s On – of the December 12th edition.

For those not familiar with the story, check out the blurb below:

Cover Love – When The Siren Calls

This month’s cover love goes to When The Siren Calls by Tom Barry.

Review: Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles

This was, yet again, another enjoyable read from Elkeles. I knew I was going to like it even before I bought the book, as I loved Perfect Chemistry. Elkeles has a way of animating her characters so they feel like real people. The first few chapters didn’t grab me right away, I must admit. It felt like a carbon-copy of Perfect Chemistry from the story right down to the characters. But then I continued reading, and thankfully, the characters started to have more of a presence and I noticed ther...

Casting Poll: Charlie, Alex, Richmond and Derkein

Now that Talisman Of El has been released, I thought it would be a good idea to tell my readers who I would cast for the roles of Charlie, Alex, Richmond and Derkein if the book was to be adapted into a movie. I would love to hear your opinions, and if you have a different cast in mind, by all means, leave a comment and let me know who you would cast to play the roles of these characters.

As much as I would love to cast actors such as Logan Lerman, Alex Pettyfer and Zac Efron (I had these acto...
