So fun!

Blame Enough to Go Around—Nazis Be Damned
Bald-faced politics here."I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens' Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace, which is the absence of tension, to a positive peace, which is the presence of justice; who constantly says:...

Interview with Paul Corcoran
Describe your hero, or heroes.That’s a relatively easy start, my mum and dad. I’m pretty sure most people come out with a load of stuff about some great historical character or modern-day scientist or tech guy. Not me.Let me explain why. For all the time, I was lucky enough to spend with my parents I never really knew them until a lot later in their lives than I wished. As a young man, 17 and more a child than a man, I joined the British Army and that was the last time I really spent at home...

The Authors Show - Part III
Here it is, the interview with The Author’s Show. It’s available for only 24 hours. Should there be more demand, I’ll look into buying the interview for further review.It came off exactly as I was advised, very professional sounding. It’s about fifteen minutes long, and all the “umms,” and “uhhs” and silences were removed.
Proves once again that I have a voice made for newsprint!
Enter To Win!

She and her partner Marrin take their orders directly from the angel Ahadiel. They obey, or they’ll be destroyed. It’s not the job Del wants, but it’s the job she has.Normally, banishing a rogue demon back to Hell wouldn’t be a problem. Del and Marrin have a...

Author Interview - Matthew Williams
The Cronin Incident by Matthew WilliamsDescribe your hero, or heroes.For starters, Elon Musk. His ability to commit to ambitious plans and then make them happen has never ceased to amaze me. Jeff Bezos is another, since he too is a major innovator who is making change happen, especially where it counts (i.e. space exploration!) Last, but definitely not least, there’s Chris Hadfield. There is a man who really has done it all. In addition to being a pilot and the first Canadian to command an IS...

Teaser for HELL BECOMES HER
In honor of the cover release today for Hell Becomes Her, here’s a little teaser text from Chapter 5—Directing:
It can’t end like this, Del thought as the men took up their positions.
She knew they’d lost. It was only in Hollywood that a hero with two guns could take down a room of bad guys armed with automatic weapons. In the really real world, even with Marrin as her back-up, they might get off a few shots, she might even be able to follow through on her threat to shoot Freyja, but a moment l...
