Rook by Blaine C. Readler

In Rook by Blaine Readler, the titular character is swept from life as a primitive tribesmen into an interstellar adventure through time and space, encountering legendary figures and changing the course of history.

Review: Mother Stella by Ryan Baxter

Mother Stella by Ryan Baxter

A spiritual guide known as Mother Stella is the fascinating focus of Ryan Baxter’s thoughtful examination of her life and legacy.

Why Authors Should Stop Blogging Now

BloggingIf you’re a self-published author, or plan to become one soon, you’ve probably read plenty of great advice about building your online platform. And I’m betting that a common theme is that you should blog regularly.

And here’s why that’s poor advice:

It doesn’t matter how engaging, fascinating, controversial, or informative your articles are. It’s irrelevant whether you blog about your writing process, share tips for other authors, take the reader behind the scenes, or offer bonus […]

An Interview with JC Bratton: Author of Who’s At the Door?

JC BrattonGrowing up loving horror and mystery tales, JC Bratton’s Freshman effort in the world of fiction pays homage to the Point Horror novels she would read as a kid: stories such as Slumber Party by Christopher Pike and Twisted by RL Stine.
