Sci fi series: Life in the Clouds
If you like a good chuckle, dim-witted heroes, and larger-than-life villains, then you'll love this fascinating series. On Wednesdays and Sundays, I’m blogging nibble-sized chunks of new ‘
Life in the Clouds
’ stories. You can check in regularly and read them for free, or wait to buy the entire story when published.

| A quirky bunch of ten short stories presented here; little snippets from lives that had me intrigued. As with all collections, there are good and not so good offerings. In cases like this, I grade each tale and use the average as the overall star rat ...more | |

| This book should have been called 'The Big Book of Morals'. This is one of the slowest books I have ever read, with an end so feeble that I can almost hear the author saying, "Sorry about that, but I wrote this because I thought you needed a modern-d ...more | |

"I rarely read young adult novels and into the first few chapters thought I had made a mistake on this one. As I proceeded I was in awe of how deftly the author had inner woven very interesting characters with "Lessons" . There are Lessons on courage,"

A curious book this, about an Englishman searching for his lost infant son in France just after WW2. Laski wrote this book just after the war too, and it shows its age, stuffed with adverbs, adjectives, and telling rather than showing. It's a heartbre ...more |

question:
Hello Brian.
No promising contacts I'm afraid. The best cover designers are expensive, and I can't afford them. I tried using Fivver for a while but found I could do better than most of them anyway. What I do now is to find and buy a relevant stock ima See Full Answer |

This book is like a rocket ship ready for lift off, smoke and flames belching from its rockets, promising a spectacular show. But it wheezes and vibrates for hours on end until it tragically fizzles out and dies. There is so much amiss with this epic ...more |

“She held herself very straight, like Audrey Hepburn, whom all women idolize and men never think about.”
― The Virgin Suicides

“For all their simplicity, humans could be remarkably perceptive, though they didn't know it most of the time, and their ability to thrust straight through deception and see to the heart of truth was often lost with childhood. By adulthood humans had trained themselves to be coy and manipulative in response to the coy and manipulative society in which they lived, which led them to believe that everyone was trying to be as coy and manipulative as themselves and were uncertain about what was true and what was not. Beyond their few flashes of clarity, everything became a muddle of colliding doubts.”

“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall.”

“The story-tellers and spinners of erotic tales are hardly more than butchers who hang up meat attractive to flies.”
― Memoirs of Hadrian
― Memoirs of Hadrian
“Traumatic events can be compared to facing a demon pitcher on the baseball diamond. Life tells us we have to take a swing at the ball, but engaging this demon comes with consequences. If you make first base, you’ll feel the need to sleep. Not so bad. Second, you’ll want to forget it all happened. Don’t we all? But third base brings the onset of madness and if you step off the plate there’s only death. In the great game of life, sometimes it’s better to strike out than hit a home run. After all, you can relax in the Dugout with friends until you’re ready to knock the demon out of the park.”
