I hope you’ll consider reviewing my latest novel, and winner of the Literary Titan Golden Book Award, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words [282 pages] published by Wild Wolf Publishing on September 1, 2023), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.
Some excerpts from editorial reviews:
“C W Lovatt's storytelling is masterful…” ~ Readers’ Favorite
“Lovatt's novel is a literary gem …” ~ A Look Inside
“A genuinely thought-provoking novel, it beckons readers to reflect on the intricate dance of life, growth, and self-discovery.” ~ Literary Titan
The following is the blurb:
“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.
A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.
Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.
But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

Hi Greg - Welcome! What is your memoir about?

I'm just having a look at the groups, I have published a book about Richard III back in 2014. Richard, the man behind the myth. I am also interested in astrology, current events and philosophy, so will be searching for some books to ponder on

Hi Michelle,
Play Something Pretty That You Like to Play is the story of my 25+ year dedication to making the developmental and therapeutic benefits of live, contemporary music more accessible in and beyond my community. That journey brought about the Accessible Music Project, a 501(c)3 non-profit that pays musicians well to bring their music to community members whose access to traditional listening venues and learning opportunities is somehow limited. Through the years we’ve staged well over 2,500 performances for Access Limited audiences, and we've had support from REM, Dolly Parton, Billy Joel, and a number of national touring musicians.
But it is more than just a memoir. Play Something Pretty That You Like to Play is also a call to America’s musicians to reconsider their true value to society – not as mere entertainers, but as the healers, educators, and caretakers of the community that they truly are. I allude to my interview with Dr. Karl Paulnack who summed up the true value of the musician to society so well in his Welcome Address to Boston Conservatory freshmen in 2004: You're not here to become an entertainer, and you don't have to sell yourself. The truth is you don't have anything to sell; being a musician isn't about dispensing a product … I'm not an entertainer; I'm a lot closer to a paramedic, a firefighter, a rescue worker. You're here to become a sort of therapist for the human soul, a spiritual version of a chiropractor, physical therapist, someone who works with our insides to see if they get things to line up, to see if we can come into harmony with ourselves and be healthy and happy and well.
Thanks for asking!

How many pages is it?

Hi Michelle,
Play Something Pretty That You Like to Play is 334 pages in paperback, approximately 73,000 words.
FYI, just received this review this morning...
(by Foluso Falaye for Readers’ Favorite)
"In Play Something Pretty That You Like to Play, Greg Allen Morgoglione shares his unconventional music career path, which involves playing music in assisted living communities. Greg, who used to assume the older generation is not a great audience for today's music, found himself surprised when he decided to play in assisted living communities. Eventually, this unconventional idea led him to a sustainable and lucrative career in music after giving the corporate world a shot and seeking something more satisfying. Greg reflects on his experience of getting sponsorship, performing in assisted living communities, and getting other musicians on board. Besides shedding light on the stereotypes surrounding the older generation, the book provides clear business strategies musicians can use to tap into community venues and make music for the 100 million Americans who don't have access to music.
As a versatile musician who is disappointed in how little Spotify, Apple Music, and most music streaming companies pay, I was thrilled to read about Greg building a profitable music career. His approach of getting sponsors, branding T-shirts, and delivering small, mobile concerts is explained well in this book and shared through engaging conversations, resulting in a greatly enjoyable and enlightening experience. The book not only contains intriguing stories from the author's exciting music performances but also profound analogies about the music industry, politics, humility, stereotypes, and more. Play Something Pretty That You Like to Play encourages all creatives to think outside the box and work toward the world they desire. Music artists who wish for steady gigs and hope to exit the struggle stage will find the answers they seek in this groundbreaking book. If you want a successful music career, don't miss out on this masterpiece."

A little about myself: I am a 29-year-old practicing small animal veterinarian in Montana, recently moved from South Carolina. Writing has always been a dream of mine, mostly stemming from a desire to describe the world as I see it around me. My novel took me around 3 years to imagine, write, edit, and publish. I am very excited at how it is performing thus far, and I've already started my second novel.
I also love talking with people and I am fairly easy going. I'd love to connect with readers, authors, and reviewers. If you've made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I hope you consider reading "Whispering Winds of Appalachia", or even just starting up a conversation. Thanks! --John
ps. I'm currently running a giveaway of my novel :)

I would like to introduce myself. I served 32 years in the military and am now actively involved with writing my memoirs, among other genres. I recently published the COMBAT JOURNAL book series, which is available on Amazon. The series is a deep dive into the soul and emotions of a rugged yet sensitive military officer leading troops in combat. Literally an emotional rollercoaster!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
I will be releasing on Amazon this Monday, President’s Day, my latest book.
LEADERSHIP LESSONS from Operation Iraqi Freedom.
This study in leadership is the result of a successful 32-year military career. The following pages contain brutally honest, real-life, leadership examples taken directly from the combat zone as documented in the COMBAT JOURNAL book series. This is an ideal reference for future generations of military and corporate leaders. After reading this book, you will see leadership in a whole new light and become a stronger leader as a result.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this manuscript for possible review, just hit me up.
I look forward to great things with this eclectic group.
John J. McBrearty

I am also working on a new book! It's an epistolary set in the late 19th century about a brothel owner in Jerome, Arizona. I am so excited to continue writing and researching this historical fiction novel.
I love to read and beta read!

Hello, how long is your story in pages?


https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-6-Proj...

Some years ago I put out a trilogy the Symbol of Hope series, then life got in the way and I took a long break. Last year I finished two books. One of them is releasing on March 24th.
I like to write YA romantic adventure fantasies and adult paranormal dark romances. I like to explore themes like girl power, diversity, perseverance, and fighting against the odds. I also tend to read these same genres. I love good fantasies.
Other than writing and reading, I enjoy traveling and relaxing in front of serene landscapes with my family. Things I could not live without are flip-flops, coke zero, mints, and yoga capris.

I myself dealt with many mental health issues in the past and through observation and analytical thinking (plus a lot of effort and perseverance of course hehe) I could transform myself and start living a better life.
So, pretty soon my book called 'Mental Health Puzzle Cracked: Opposing Pathways' will be out for presale and before launching day I'm looking forward to get some reviews from people interested in such a topic. But the book ain't just for those dealing with depression and anxiety for instance, it is also for those willing to develop their self-awareness and understand more of human behavior in general and what's behind it so that we can move our way through the world more smoothly and wisely.
I'm also up to doing reviews. So it's a win-win for everybody. Hope to hear from any of you guys soon! Have a great week!

I love reading a variety of books - crime, psychology, fantasy, historical fiction. I'm also a counsellor who uses bibliotherapy in my practice so I'm always on the lookout for books that I can recommend to clients, friends, and family.

Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Elliott Glover, and I am more than an author; I am a voice for the voiceless, a beacon of hope amidst the darkness of the child welfare system. My journey, marked by adversity and resilience, has led me to pen the poignant narrative encapsulated within "Those Boys on the Hill."
Drawing from my own tumultuous upbringing alongside my brothers, Jacque and Iszel, I have woven a tapestry of experiences that illuminate the often overlooked realities of group homes, foster care, and the enduring struggles of those entangled within their grasp. As a passionate advocate for change, I am driven by an unwavering commitment to shed light on the hardships endured by individuals and families navigating these systems.
But my story is not just mine—it belongs to countless others who have traversed similar paths. Through humor, sadness, and raw honesty, I invite you to embark on a journey through the pages of "Those Boys on the Hill." It is a cathartic exploration of defying the odds, of perseverance and survival, and ultimately, of the resilience and tenacity of the human spirit.
Beyond the confines of these pages lies a broader mission—a movement aimed at supporting society's most vulnerable and marginalized groups. To this end, I founded the Those Boys on the Hill Foundation—a testament to my enduring commitment to effecting tangible change within the child welfare system.
But I cannot achieve this vision alone. I call upon each of you to join me in amplifying the voices of those who have been silenced for too long. Request a copy of my book (PDF), become immersed in its narrative, and let your voice be heard through the power of your reviews. Together, we can ignite a spark of change and create a brighter future for generations to come.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to this vital cause.
Warm regards,
Elliott Glover
