Introducing debut the debut author of Enimnori: Arrival, Jeff Webber

 


Welcome to debut author Jeff Webber!

 


I am a former Software Engineer who grew up in Richmond Massachusetts, I am now retired and live with my wife and mother-in-law in Western Massachusetts. I have four grown children, one son and three daughters, all of whom still reside in Massachusetts. I have a B.S. in Mathematics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and have done graduate work in both Applied Math and Computer Science.  I’ve been an avid reader (mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy) since grade school.  My first novel was a long time in the making (nearly 20 years) and has been split into two books (Enimnori: Arrival being the first) with the second (Enimnori: Discovery) due to be published in the fall of 2022. Book three (Enimnori:Challenge) is about 95% complete with book four (Enimnori:Crisis) about 25%

What would you say are your strengths as an author?

Mostly, the enormous number of books I've read along with an active imagination and a large vocabulary. I should also include one of my daughters who has a BA in English and an MS in Library Science as she has been a tremendous help.

How often do you write, and do you write using a strict routine?

I wrote VERY sporadically for about 20 years (on the first two books). Since retiring, I do something book related daily but have no schedule or fixed process.

Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?

Hopefully I will have expanded my series into a dozen or more, possibly starting another series if I get a different inspiration.

If you could offer once piece of advice to a novice writer, what would it be?

Just do SOMEHING almost everyday. Also, at least for me, frequent feedback is critical, be it from a family member, friend or whatever.

What would you consider to be the best compliment a reader could give your book?

That's an easy one. "I enjoyed reading it."

What are you working on now?

At the moment I am going through the publishing process of book 2, finalizing book 3 and working on book 4.

ENIMNORI ARRIVAL

An act of desperation by young magician Brandon accidentally snatches Scott Hathaway from our world. Struggling to adapt to his new life, Scott becomes ensnared in dark local politics. He realizes he can use the knowledge he brought from his world to save his new friends, but at what cost?

About The Author




Randi-Lee was born and raised in Ontario, Canada and from a young age she had a passion for helping others. She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top of her class from Community and Justice Services, after completing her placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation she worked at a Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university education in psychology. Randi-Lee continued working in social services for another four years as an employment counselor until she left to pursue her other passions.

Randi-Lee is an author and outspoken advocate for mental health sharing her true story with honesty. From the age of 14 she struggled with depressive thoughts. There were times in her life that she wasn’t sure how she would continue. Depression continues to be a battle in her life but she is glad that she continues to live. She has spoken at events that promote wellness and compassionately shares her experiences with her own mental health. In 2021 she started a YouTube channel, Write or Die Show, to spread awareness about various mental health issues and to end the stigma associated with mental health.

Growing up she never felt that she fit in, being the last to understand jokes and confused about many emotions that she saw on others. In 2021 she finally had answers to the questions about herself that had been nagging at her. She was diagnosed with moderate Autism.

Another of Randi-Lee’s passions is kickboxing, which she has been doing for about 10 years. She was a Canadian National Champion in kickboxing in 2015, competed at the World’s kickboxing tournament later that year and in 2016 competed at the Pan-Am games where she received silver in her division. In 2020 she was chosen as one of the coaches for the Ontario Winter Games where she inspired and coached young athletes.

Randi is a mom to two, her youngest child has autism and grandma to one. Randi encourages and supports her youngest child's entrepreneurial spirit as he follows his dream of being an artist. When she can she incorporates his art into her stories.

  ABOUT SHANE:


Shane Wilson is a storyteller. No matter the medium, the emphasis of his work is on the magical act of the story, and how the stories we tell immortalize us and give voice to the abstractions of human experience. His first two contemporary fantasy novels as well as a stage play, set in his World of Muses universe, are currently available.

 Born in Alabama and raised in Georgia, Shane is a child of the southeastern United States where he feels simultaneously at-home and out-of-place. He graduated from Valdosta State University in South Georgia with a Masters in English. He taught college English in Georgia for four years before moving to North Carolina in 2013.

 Shane plays guitar and writes songs with his two-man-band, Sequoia Rising. He writes songs as he writes stories--with an emphasis on the magic of human experience. He tends to chase the day with a whiskey (Wild Turkey 101) and a re-run of The Office

 Shane's novels are A Year Since the Rain (Snow Leopard Publishing, 2016) and The Smoke in His Eyes (GenZ Publishing, 2018). Shane's short story, "The Boy Who Kissed the Rain" was the 2017 Rilla Askew Short Fiction Prize winner and was nominated for a 2018 Pushcart Prize. An adaptation of that story for the stage was selected for the Independence Theater Reading Series in Fayetteville, NC. More information about Shane can be found at: Shane Wilson Author

Round Robin Blog Fest April 2022

 


Another month, another blog fest! 

This week's topic is: How much reading do you do, both for pleasure and for a work in progress?

I used to read a great deal in pretty much any genre I could get my hands on. As a kid, summertime was spent riding bikes, mowing lawn, or reading. Even when I had kids, I spent time reading – mostly bedtime stories – but also grown up books when I had the time.

As I got more into writing books, most of my reading time has been spent on writing/reading/editing my own books. Then I rediscovered the joy of a good bedtime story!

My bedtime reading is generally only a chapter or two, depending on the book, but I’ve been able to start pulling books off my TBR pile that have been there for years. I’ve also discovered new finds in the bookstore to enjoy rather than just learn. So far over the past few months I've read about:

· women who became empowered by riding motorcycles

· a book about becoming a full-time author

· the Heroine’s Journey as opposed to the Hero’s Journey

· The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho

· The Department of Sensitive Crimes by Alexander McCall Smith

· And a few other obscure books on various topics!

I've also been able to start reading a friend's new book to give a review. It's always fun to read something totally new that hasn't even hit the shelves yet! 

In general, my reading time for pleasure is usually around 15 to 20 minutes a day.

Social media reading time…that I’ve actually cut back in favor of getting other things done.

Length of time for editing and work in progress reading depends on how close my deadline is or what new book I have on the go! Currently, I have one book I’m writing the first draft of and a second one I need to edit. If I have a slow day at work, I’ll do a little during quiet moments. I also like to get a lot done during Write-In meetings as well. Those two hours can fly by when you’re working hard on a new book!

Join our gaggle of talented authors to find out what they’re reading!

Edward Yatscoff launches his latest crime novel, Services Rendered.

 



Welcome to fellow BWL Publishing author, Edward Yatscoff!


Edward Yatscoff was born in Welland, Ontario.  After living in Australia and backpacking around the world, he met his wife Gloria on a freighter in the South China Sea.  They married and moved to Beaumont, Alberta.  After 32 years with Edmonton Fire Rescue he retired as a station captain and is the first author to write Canadian firefighter novels.  He swam with a marlin in Honduras, climbed the Great Wall of China, tried to smuggle a Playboy magazine into the USSR, was accused of throwing eggs at an Aussie PM, and survived the 1979 revolution in Grenada during the honeymoon.  He continues to travel, write, and enjoy the outdoors.

His website is http://www.yatscoffbooks.com

What is your latest release?

My latest novel is SERVICES RENDERED a hard-boiled crime novel released last October. It doesn’t pull any punches and has plenty pf crime. Think of Home Depot meet Somali gangbangers.


SERVICES RENDERED: Got a bully in your neighborhood? A troublesome squatter you can’t evict? When the courts or police can’t, or won’t help, well…good luck. Or you can hire Ritchie and Arlan, ex-cop and ex-con. Their trade is home renovations, but their side job is just what you’re looking for. They're the good kinda bad; angels to some, devils to others. But when they stumble on the real bad--a dangerous city gang--there's no one to call when they run out of options.


What are you working on now?

I am almost finished a first draft of THE NIKE BIRDS. It is about an abduction of two students in the Colombian jungle and the search for them. Murder, soldiers, cops, some Colombian politics, and snakes

Was there a person who encouraged you to write?

No one encouraged me to write. When I began writing I told people I was writing a book and they nodded politely. I once visited an elementary school for a career day and wore my firefighter uniform. The kids said they didn’t know a firefighter could read or write! Not sure if that’s a stereotype. But what challenged me to write was reading tame and dull stories my son used to bring home from school. I knew I could do better and since then wrote 6 MG and YA novels, all action with elements of crime. My writers group has given me encouragement, suggestions, and great critiquing. Submitting to them every month keeps me going as I enjoy discovering what I am doing wrong and also doing right.

What would you say are your strengths as an author?

My writers group tells me my strengths are action scenes, dialogue, and imaging. I have a tough time describing women’s clothes which evokes a few laughs in the group. I don’t like writing too much background as it bogs me down and my novels are long enough already. It feels like filler when I get too deep and I know readers will skim, like I do when I read too much of it. I do read a lot: 30 to 40 books per year, every year.

How often do you write, and do you write using a strict routine?

No routine. My work stews in my brain before I write each chapter. Every day I am either editing my work, critiquing my writers group submissions, or laying down a few more pages of a project. Once I sit to write something new the creative process kicks in and I can usually breeze through to write a chapter. I think of my project before I fall asleep, too. My old website had almost all my short stories and travel articles posted, some which won competitions. I’ve started to post them on Vocalmedia.com and might make a few pennies if people read them.

Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?

In five years I hope to have novel #14 finished. THE NIKE BIRDS will give me 13 and it’s a bit worrisome as usually, by the time a first draft is done, I’m already thinking about another project.

I am really going to push the NBs novel to big agents and publishers because the early reviews on the first draft are very good. My historical fiction THE RUMRUNNER’S BOY took me to Toronto for the Crime Writers of Canada competition gala. Unfortunately I came second…to Lynwood Barclay, a huge bestseller! I met a few people at the gala (includi9ng Barclay) who have seen the NBs, as well as an LA crime writer (we swap beta reads) and the reviews are very good. If the first draft is as good as they say, I think a good sculpting should make it outstanding. But hey, I thought I’d have a bestseller by now, too.  I’m having fun writing it. My trips to Amazonia and various jungle parks in Latin America have inspired me for the story. I spent a good chunk of winter in Panama and those big boats going past my balcony I think may have planted a seed.

Daughter Of Hades, the Complicated History of the Caribbean by Mack Little

 


Daughter Of Hades

Telling the Complicated History of the Caribbean Through the Eyes Of Two Sets of Siblings by Mack Little

 

Released and published by Inklings Publishing

The book is available worldwide in e-format

Mack Little’s sophomore novel traces the fascinating and often painful Caribbean history through the life experience of siblings as they try to escape their homes and strive for a better life.
Amazon.com Link:  Amazon.com: Daughter of Hades: Book 1 of the Love & Peace Series: 9781944428686: Little, Mack: Books

Amazon.ca: Daughter of Hades: Book 1 of the Love & Peace Series : Little, Mack: Amazon.ca: Books

Daughter of Hades first depicts the story of Dinny and Jimmie, twin brother and sister who have grown up as enslaved people on a plantation in Barbados. When Dinny’s life faces more threats as the master’s infatuation with her grows, the siblings make their way onto a pirate ship. Though safety will not come yet for the two siblings, it seems that love is in the cards for at least one of them, as Dinny falls in love with a Chinese sailor named Lei. 

The storyline alternates with another set of siblings: two brothers named Ivan and Pax as they desperately try to make their way to Jamaica. The two storylines eventually clash and the two sets of siblings are faced with a Rolodex of suspenseful events that bring to light pain, romance, and survival, in any condition.

The book gets its inspiration from the long and harrowing history of slavery in the Caribbean. It is one of the most exciting historical fiction novels with a story that is still relevant today.

But Daughters of Hades is much more than a lesson of Caribbean history and the effects slavery has on these siblings. At its core, it is a fight for survival and revenge captured in its more pure state, and a historical romance that shows people can find love even in the strangest of places, or the strangest of situations.

“An engaging, swashbuckling tale of love and revenge during the age of piracy.” - Kirkus Reviews  

“Little fills us in on the important Caribbean history and how the rules of a terrible trade system changed from one island to another. Envisioning the beautiful settings of Jamaica and Barbados and recognizing their histories illuminates a truth that readers will really benefit from knowing.” - Jaylynn Korrell (Independent Book Review)  

About Mack:


Mack Little grew up in the Deep South and has accumulated a vibrant experience which she often emulates in her storytelling. Her studies in International Politics and service in the Army have given her impressive perspectives to bring to her novels new layers of intrigues and twists, which are all quite prevalent in her latest novel, Daughter of Hades.
