4 out of 5 Star Review for The Favorite by Franklyn C. Thomas
The Favorite by Franklyn C. Thomas
The Favorite was a great read about a boxer taking his shot at the IBF Light Heavyweight Championship while struggling with his past and his out of the ring box.
Michael Dane’s boxing career seemed to end too soon in life as he served time in prison for a weapons charge. After emerging from prison, his boss Dante has him playing strong man with Boone as they collect on outstanding debts. This leads to controversy for Michael as he witnesses Boone murder two men on a roof top. He struggles to maintain his relationship with his boss and still not get put back into prison, but Dante doesn’t make it easy on him.
Michael confronts Dante and tells him he wants his title shot. He gets his title shot, but Dante throws him a right hook; he wants him to throw the fight.
He stays headstrong and continues on through both the adversity of his personal life, the struggle of right and wrong working with Boone, and what happens to him if he doesn’t throw the fight as Dante has instructed him to do.
The author does a great job in mixing the storyline up between the present day title match and the events from the weeks just previous to the bout. Although the author goes back and forth from past to present, the plot is very easy to follow along.
4 out of 5 Stars. A great read for mature readers due to some violence and language.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a story filled with action..

4 out of 5 Stars for The Seventh Sons of Sycamore by Domino Finn
The Seventh Sons of Sycamore is a paranormal werewolf thriller set in a small town. The local detective, Maxim Dwyer, sets out to search for the man that stabbed a man in a local bar. His search leads him to Diego, who openly asks him if he wants proof of werewolves.
From there the action continues to the local motorcycle club, The Seven Sons, and his search for the killer. Little known to him, the motorcycle club is not only overrun with werewolves, but it is also ran by one of them. Detective Dwyer runs into Diego again at the headquarters for the motorcycle and soon finds out the Diego is not a member of the club, he is there on other business.
The book is full of action and intrigue as the reader follows Dwyer and Diego through the pages of the book. Around every turn, you find another twist in the story.
The werewolves in the novel are the four leg variety and shift based on the alignment of the sun and moon. The ability to shift at will escapes them and they are left to their primal urges only when the alignment is correct.
This is a short read and can be finished in one sitting; I read the entire book in about four hours.
The story bounces around a little, but overall it was easy to follow the story line and keep up with the plot.

Legends of Windemere: Family of the Tri-Rune by Charles Yallowitz
Legends of Windemere: Family of the Tri-Rune
Charles E. Yallowitz was born and raised on Long Island, NY, but he has spent most of his life wandering his own imagination in a blissful haze. Occasionally, he would return from this world for the necessities such as food, showers, and Saturday morning cartoons. One day he returned from his imagination and decided he would share his stories with the world. After his wife decided that she was tired of hearing the same stories repeatedly, she convinced him that it would make more sense to follow his dream of being a fantasy author. So, locked within the house under orders to shut up and get to work, Charles brings you Legends of Windemere. He looks forward to sharing all of his stories with you and his wife is happy he finally has someone else to play with.
Legends of Windemere: Family of the Tri-Rune
The magical adventure continues after Luke Callindor and his friends recover from their battles in Haven.
Nyx still has nightmares about casting the genocide spell in Hero’s Gate. Every night her heart is gripped by the sensation of hundreds of goblins dying by her magic. By the request of Lord Highrider and Duke Solomon, she is returning to fix the damage she caused. With Luke Callindor and Sari by her side, Nyx is ready to face the vengeful goblins and opportunistic thieves that plague Hero’s Gate. Yet, there is a darker threat that was born from her violated magic: The Krypters.
It is another action-packed, character driven story that will reveal one of our heroes has been lied to for their entire life.

“Legends of Windemere: Family of the Tri-Rune- The Krypters”
Looking across the river, the young adventurers see the remains of a herd of elk that have been brutally torn apart. Even from far away, they can hear bones crunching and flesh tearing before they pinpoint the source of the noise. Nine muscular creatures are moving among the slaughtered elk, their faces pressed to the blood-soaked ground. Their glossy skin is a swirling mixture of deep black and bloody red. One of the creature rises from its hunched position to stand at its full eight-foot height. It angrily hisses at the sky and shows off several rows of sharp teeth. The standing krypter scratches at its side with long claws, sending scraps of twitching skin to the ground. The adventurers hold their breath and freeze when its head turns toward them, staring in their direction with an eyeless face. It sniffs at the stale air before hunkering down for another mouthful of elk.
Tzefira pulls Nyx close, so she can whisper, “Hit them hard and fast. We need a first strike.”
Nyx swallows the lump in her throat and focuses on the ravenous creatures across the wide river. The longer she stares at them, the more nauseated she feels. It is as if the very sight of them is a testament to her violated aura. She waves for her allies to take a few steps away before her hands burst with hot water behind her back. Nyx patiently waits for several minutes until four of the krypters gather close to each other, making them a perfect target for her boiling water spell. Her hands rise above her head before the krypters take notice and threateningly roar in surprise. With a high-pitched scream, Nyx launches a large wave of steaming water over the river.
All of the krypters bravely gather in front of the incoming spell and rise to their full height as if to jump. Instead, they hold out their hands and let the magical attack wash over them. Instead of tearing them apart, the water becomes a whirling pillar that shreds the surrounding tree branches as it rises to the clouds. With a horrifying screech, the krypters open their mouths and inhale Nyx’s spell until their bellies bloat and throb. A coating of blue fire covers their sharp claws and icy horns sprout from their heads as they sway on their feet in ecstasy.
“Run!” Tzefira shouts. She grabs Nyx by the arm and drags the stunned half-elf into the woods. She hears Luke and Sari running behind them as the krypters shatter the silence with trilling screams. Risking a quick glance, Tzefira sees the krypters leap over the river and move faster than she has ever seen them move before.

“THE TUNNEL - An Excerpt”
The temperature in the apartment was comfortable. There wasn’t a television set or a radio, and what little furniture there was could have been cleaner. His mama had thrown a sheet over the couch and chair to cover the stains. Didn’t matter any to Nemo. He hardly spent time in the apartment. There were two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. Since the electricity was still working, the refrigerator kept what little food they had cold. He carefully unwrapped one of the sandwiches, grabbed a knife from the drawer, and cut the sandwich in half. He wrapped the rest of the sandwich in one of the papers, placed the full sandwich and the half in the fridge, wrapped his half in a napkin, and shoved it in the plastic bag.
Nemo walked down the hall to his bedroom, rustled through a gym bag for clean underwear and clothes, stripped out of his shoes and clothes and took a quick shower. Always wear clean clothes, Rocket Man had warned. It would keep the creepy crawlies away. He dried off with a towel, another gift from Goodwill, and hung it up to dry. He never did laundry; wouldn’t know how to. Nemo would just toss the soiled items and pick up new ones from Goodwill. He shoved the soiled clothes into a garbage bag, shrugged into a newly acquired blue jean jacket, and grabbed the plastic bag of food from the kitchen.
As he headed to the front door, Nemo paused and stared at the towel shoved tight against the bottom of the bedroom door. He leaned close and listened for several seconds. Then he grabbed the door knob, turned it, and gently pushed it open. His mama was still in bed, in the same position. The needle previously stuck in her arm had fallen onto the bed. Her skin had always been a bit darker than his, but now it looked even darker and leathery. Something had happened to her eyes. He didn’t like looking at her anymore and felt ashamed. It was the illness, she’d always told him. The needle contained her medicine. But for taking so much medicine, why had she always looked older and sicker? Wasn’t the medicine supposed to fix everything? He tiptoed across the floor to close the window. No need to air out the room any more. The smell had gone away.

“Reckless Nights in Rome- An Excerpt”
Bronte shrieked.
Large hands gripped her, lifting her as if she weighed nothing and dumped her unceremoniously on her feet. Panic hitched her breath. Her hands fisted, ready to fight. Then the scent of an evocative cologne spun around her heightened senses and she realised it wasn’t her disastrous blind date who had a firm grip on her waist.
She turned, staggered and found herself pulled against a brick wall in a shirt.
“Thank you,” she gasped her voice breathy with relief. A fall from that height wouldn’t have been pretty.
Trembling with cold and reaction, she blinked up to a tall man with tremendous shoulders. Since the lights of the car park were behind him, she couldn’t get a good look at his face.
She gave a tug on her arm. “You can let me go now.”
“I do not think so.” The deep voice was silky, tinged with a hard edge of suspicion. His hand felt too hot through her sweater.
For reasons Bronte didn’t immediately understand, the knots in her belly wound tighter. He thought she was a thief? The idea made her peer up into his shadowed features and give another tug of her arm. Comprehension dawned that he had absolutely no intention of releasing her.
Nerves fluttered madly in her stomach making her frown up at him.
“This is not what you think it is.”
She caught a flash of white teeth and it wasn’t a smile.
He picked up her jacket and the bag. “No? What is this?”
“A Mulberry Piccadilly,” she said, peering into the shadowed face. No sign of the teeth or of a sense of humour either.
“Expensive and on the large side. You could fit a small car in it. Plenty of space for purloined items.” His tone was ice over steel.
Bronte spluttered on a laugh. “Nobody uses the word purloined these days. Why don’t you just say what you mean? You think I’m a thief.” The idea was so ridiculous she laughed and once she started she couldn’t stop. The result, she knew, of too much stress and the deep mortification of being caught running away from a drunken bully.

The Foster Children of Time by Robert Schell
The Foster Children of Time
by
Robert Schell
Tony Marco is a normal south Texas teenager, bright but rather reserved. One day while on a family outing at the beach, Tony happens upon a group of time tourists from the year 2088. Unsure of what to do, Tony reconnects with his more adventurous, estranged childhood friend Caroline Montano. Caroline impulsively crashes the tour, dragging Tony along with her. Tony and Caroline soon find themselves on the Khronos-Solarin Station, a black hole-powered portal to various exotic eras in Earth’s past. There, Tony and Caroline encounter Stephen Gaudet, an independent time scout who promises to take them home, free from the oversight of the time travel governing authority, Temporal Affairs. Instead, Gaudet kidnaps Tony and Caroline and transports them to a twisted fantasy kingdom in the 11th Century A.D. created by a young and cruel time traveler known as the Wolf King. Tony and Caroline encounter a quirky cast of characters including a genetically engineered Elf girl, a surly Croatian veteran of the First World War, a mysterious “Witch” from a distant future, a survivor of a 15th Century pogrom in Spain, and a tribe of very tall Dwarves. Relying only upon their own wits and with help from their newfound friends, Tony and Caroline discover that one does not have to be a legendary monster slayer or great warrior to face off against Giants and Dragons.

“Caro…!”
Another jolting sensation.
“Jump completed successfully. Now docking with TS Khronos-Solarin, Gate 15B.”
“…line,” finished Tony, becoming aware of his surroundings and Caroline sitting next to him. Caroline’s eyes were open but she seemed unaware of his presence. He patted her shoulder.
“Caroline! Snap out of it!”
She jerked into awareness. For the first time Tony saw something like concern cross her features, but then a look of determination quickly took hold.
“I’m alright,” she said.
The other passengers were already stirring, standing and stretching, some walking down the aisle towards the bus door.
“Let’s go.”
“Welcome to Time Station Khronos-Solarin,” recited the disembodied female voice. “Station time is 13:44, October 6, 2088. Enjoy your stay at the station. Don’t forget to visit the gift shop. If you enjoy authentic Asian cuisine from all eras, stop at the Huang-Karamov Diner. Need to whet your whistle? The Alexandrian has a seat reserved just for you.”
Tony had some difficulty in getting up, as his legs seemed to temporarily refuse to support his weight, but soon found himself stumbling after Caroline out of the bus door and into a narrow corridor illuminated by a faint bluish light. The corridor opened into a wide, busy lobby, bustling with activity. People hurried back and forth down what seemed to be the main passageway in the station, some sat in rows of chairs, others stood in line in front of desks manned by personnel sporting identical navy-blue and white uniforms. A wall on the far side of the main passageway was entirely covered in a swarm of images; talking heads, schedules, news reports, and advertisements.
Caroline and Tony timidly stepped forward, drawn to the main passageway. The station appeared to be in the form of a large wheel or semi-circle, with the main passageway curving around a central hub. Small oval windows lined the length of the outer wall. It was dark outside.
A tween Asian girl approached, leading a terrier on a glowing leash. Abruptly she stopped, spoke a command, and the terrier dissolved in a haze of static and the leash shrunk into a tiny device in her palm. A man in an oddly dated looking suit and fedora stalked past, apparently carrying on a conversation with someone although he appeared to be alone. A group of formally dressed men and women glided past, apparently having skate wheels on the bottom on their otherwise normal looking business shoes.
“Did you see that?” asked Caroline excitedly, gesturing at a girl who skipped across their path. “She has hair like my cat! Like a …what do you call them? Orange tabby!”
They noticed a group of people gathered at one of the outer windows, staring out into the darkness. Tony and Caroline found an opening along the window and peered out.
“Where are we?” asked Caroline.
“I think we’re in space.”
“I’m getting really freaked out right now, Tony. This really is the future, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. I think so.”

Tony Marco is a normal south Texas teenager, bright but rather reserved. One day while on a family outing at the beach, Tony happens upon a group of time tourists from the year 2088. Unsure of what to do, Tony reconnects with his more adventurous, estranged childhood friend Caroline Montano. Caroline impulsively crashes the tour, dragging Tony along with her. Tony and Caroline soon find themselves on the Khronos-Solarin Station, a black hole-powered portal to various exotic eras in Earth’s past. There, Tony and Caroline encounter Stephen Gaudet, an independent time scout who promises to take them home, free from the oversight of the time travel governing authority, Temporal Affairs. Instead, Gaudet kidnaps Tony and Caroline and transports them to a twisted fantasy kingdom in the 11th Century A.D. created by a young and cruel time traveler known as the Wolf King. Tony and Caroline encounter a quirky cast of characters including a genetically engineered Elf girl, a surly Croatian veteran of the First World War, a mysterious “Witch” from a distant future, a survivor of a 15th Century pogrom in Spain, and a tribe of very tall Dwarves. Relying only upon their own wits and with help from their newfound friends, Tony and Caroline discover that one does not have to be a legendary monster slayer or great warrior to face off against Giants and Dragons.

5 Star Review for The Fight for Immortality by Peter Arthur
The Fight for Immortality
by
Peter Arthur
The Fight for Immortality is a great science fiction read that draws the reader in with great world building, fantastic technology, and intense scenes.
Jack Cousins is a little different that most teenagers and seeks to keep himself from drawing too much attention to himself, until that baseball game where he was the hero that saved the day.
Many science fiction books take you to far off places of the galaxy and pit factions against each other in battle in outer space. Though there is some of this in the book, many events take place on earth.
Be ready to immerse yourself in a world of science fiction but do not expect a super face pace in the book. The author does a great job in detailing the story so you get not just the action but also the background information and all the world building you would hope for. This book is a splendid example of great world building and interaction between the main characters.
5 out of 5 Stars. An epic science fiction novel for readers of all ages.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a detailed world full of technology, lots of action and solid characters.

Is My Book a Novel or a Novella
Is My Book a Novel or a Novella
There are many factors for authors to consider when writing and publishing their books. Among these factors is determining whether their book is a short story, a novella, a novel, or epic in length. This is important for self-publishing authors as the length of the book may ultimately determine how much to charge per copy once their book is published.
In this article, I hope to explain the difference in length between the books. Just because I list a book length as a particular type, it does not mean that always holds true. The listings are basic standards but do not fit every book length.
Short Story: 1,500 - 7,500
Short stories get the main idea out, feed the reader the plot quickly, and get to the end of the story. Some readers do not want tied down to a book for a long period and want something they can read in 2 hours or less. Short stories are perfect for this because the reader gets almost instant gratification from the story. Short stories do not pay well published on their own, and are normally found in compilations or anthologies featuring multiple short stories.
Novelette: 7,500 - 20,000
Novelettes are the next step up and are enjoyed by readers who want a quick read, but do not want to start a book and finish it within an hour or two. They are difficult to sell as single books and are normally compiled into an omnibus or compilation. Many readers balk at paying more than $0.99 for a novelette because the book is finished so quickly. By combining several novelettes together though, the author can charge more for the compilation.
Novella: 20,000 - 60,000
The novella is perfect for the digital publishing age. Though we are getting closer to the size of book most publishers look for in traditional publishing, the ebook market is the target community for novellas.
Novel: 60,000 - 110,000 Words
Now we are getting into the meat and potatoes of publishing. Full length novels are what many readers look for and will not buy anything less because they want something that is going to give them hours of enjoyment. The word count varies greatly but is due to the overwhelming span between each of the major genres of books.
Literary, mystery, and romance novels are typically in the 80,000 to 90,000 word count range.
Science Fiction and Fantasy word count increases to between 100,000 and 110,000 words. This is partially due to the world building associated with SciFi and Fantasy and being able to show the reader a whole new world.
Young Adult novels are shorter though and range between 50,000 and 70,000 words. Notice that the word count dips into what is normally considered a novella, but for the Young Adult genre, this still classifies the book as a novel.
Epic: Over 110,000 Words
Epic novels are books that either the author has written a lot of story, background, and world building into, or they stretched the story out to cover many events or a long period. Some books cover way to long of a period or contain way too much detail for the book. These books may be better suited if broken into two or three separate novels and each published as a standalone novel.
Take for instance J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer. The final books in the Harry Potter (Harry Potter Book One 320 pages - Harry Potter Book Seven 784 pages “hardback”) series and the Twilight Saga (Twilight 498 pages - Breaking Dawn 768 pages “hardback”) are enormous compared to other books of the same genre. The difference between them and up and coming authors is they have already built their reputation. The publisher knew that their books were going to sell based off of the success of earlier books in the same series so they published these extra long books. Due to printing costs though, many new authors will not be able to get the same backing because they do not have the same size community of fans.
If you have an outstanding novel, then you are able to write a sequel that is a little longer than the first book in the series.
For new authors, I would recommend staying outside of the epic word count categories and staying within the novel size for their specific genre.
eBooks versus Hardback and Paperbacks
Most of the above information holds true in regards to book length based on genre whether you are publishing for eBook or tradition printing. What does change though is marketing cost. Many eBook readers have no issue paying for a novel that exceeds normal word count, so long as the book is priced comparatively with other books in the same genre. If I see two eBooks priced at $2.99 on Kindle with one book being 50,000 words and the other being 70,000 words then I am not going to balk at paying the same price.
Consider the printing cost of an epic novel compared to the printing cost of a novel. Whether using a traditional publisher or self-publishing, each and every page of the book adds to the cost of the final product. Every time you add a page, you have just made the overhead for the book increase. Literary Agents and Publishers look for books that are not only well written, but books they know they can charge a set amount for and still make their profit.
I wish you the best of luck in your writing and publishing journey.

4 Star Review for No One Can Know by Adrienne LaCava
No One Can Know is a historical fiction novel about the lives of CIA men after the assassination of Kennedy. The CIA has been turned upside down with allegations that the assassination was an inside job. In the wake of these allegations, trust between agents has dwindled and many closely surrounding the event in Dallas separate themselves from the others. Some, go to their backwoods farms, others hide out completely off the grid, while others continue with their everyday lives.
One Agent, Tucker, goes to Mississippi to carry out a mission for the CIA. The KKK is growing in popularity in the south, but so is the peaceful resistance to the KKK. Before he departs, he leaves his wife and teenage daughter at their farm house and heads off to Mississippi. As he is departing, he contacts Vincent and asks him to make sure Carla, his mistress, does not go to the farm where his wife is at.
Tensions build in Mississippi and at the farm house as things do not go the way Tucker had wished them to go. Intrigue and suspense riddle the pages of the book.
The novel does a good job in covering the distrust concerned with the assassination of Kennedy while also mixing in family issues and tragedy.
The plot was well flowing overall, but slowed down in some areas. The pace would return during the next section and would energize me to continue reading. I would have liked to see more character development for some of the players in the story and possibly a bit more resolution for them.
Overall a well written story that most readers will definitely enjoy.
4 out of 5 Stars.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a well written historical fiction about the Cold War Era with suspense, intrigue and some romance.
No One Can Know can be purchased via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/One-Can-Know-Ad...
