Should You Design Your Own Book Cover
On the latest edition of Open Book, I lead a discussion on whether or not independent authors should design their own book covers.
It comes down to three basic questions.
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE WITH GRAPHIC DESIGN?If the answer is you've never done anything artistic or related to graphic design in your life, then NO, you should not design your own cover. You can learn. It is never too late Read more of this blog post »

Three hundred of years ago, a group of heroes imprisoned a dark god in a hell dimension known as the Void. Since then, the people of Maghe Sihre have lived in relative peace. Now, a secret war starts at the edge of civilization.
A young man from Earth, Tadgh Dooley, is burdened with a dangerous and impossible power. He is fod sel-onde, born with the ability to warp the fabric of reality. An unknown force draws him to Maghe Sihre and, in doing so, cracks open the Void.
Can Tadgh gain control over his power before it's too late? And what does the appearance of the Sword of Kassandra mean for the people of Maghe Sihre?

Description:
Inviting the fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner takes a turn for the icky. This is one of the first short stories I felt happy with. It's in the horror genre so maybe don't read it and eat at the same time.

M. Joseph Murphy
is 20% done with Mindf*ck: Wiley is a hell of a writer dealing with subject matter that, in the wrong hands, could sound incredibly intimidating and dull. Instead, crisp clean (and incredibly accessible) language shows us how the political world nudges and tweaks our world-view with modern day psychological warfare. A must read for anyone who uses social media (or, perhaps more accurately IS USED by social media).

“The most fearsome monsters of all may inhabit the dark corners of our mind waiting for us to release them through our believes and gullibility. the phenomenon feeds on fear and believe. Sometimes it destroys us altogether other times it leads us upwards into the labyrinth of electromagnetic frequencies that form a curtain in the area we call windows and stalk us to drink our blood and create all kinds of mischievous beliefs and misconceptions in our feeble little terrestrial minds.”
