What did I just read?!  And I mean that in a good way.  My mind is always blown when a brand new author debuts with a book so well-written that it feels like the work of a pro.  Don’t get me wrong – this book is all over the placeContinue Reading

I’m so excited to release this book next month in time for Christmas!  BUT I’m also moving in real life, which means a lot of my book promotion needs to get set up now.  So, why not make a giveaway that runs until the book release?  That way, you allContinue Reading

I picked up this book on a whim and because the cover is gorgeous.  The writing grabbed my attention in the first few pages, and I could tell this author had worked hard to craft this story.  Then, the uniqueness of the story kept me reading to the end. WhileContinue Reading

I’m having so much fun writing this new series with new characters, a new world, and new monsters!  Here’s the brand new cover for The Alt-World Chronicles Book 1, ALTERNI.  Description:  Ever have a nightmare where you’re naked in public? What if everyone else in the room was also naked…andContinue Reading

(I don’t normally post reviews of sequels, but these books are REALLY good, you guys.  To see my earlier review for Book 1 in this series, go here:  The Running Game) I love sequels that don’t feel the need to recap every little thing from the first book before movingContinue Reading

I really enjoyed Anatomy of a Darkened Heart by Christie Stratos, and I’m definitely looking forward to her new book, Locke and Keye.  Christie was kind enough to let me be a part of her cover reveal for this, her second book, and I’m excited to share it here alongContinue Reading

First of all, the blurb for this book doesn’t do it justice.  The story is a full-out adventure in a magical world populated by every fantasy creature you’d hope to find, and there’s plenty of heart and comedy thrown in. I loved all the twists the plot took in bringingContinue Reading

For the past however-long, it might seem like I’ve been a bad writer/author.  However, behind the scenes, NOT SO!  I’ve actually spent pretty close to every waking moment working on The Kota Series and Shorts updates. The facts were these: I decided at the beginning of January to take TheContinue Reading

This felt like a book I would’ve had to read in an English Literature class in college – and I mean that in a good way.  Everything about the writing and the story felt legitimately true to the period, like this was an old, classic book I’d somehow missed allContinue Reading

Today I’d like to welcome Calvin Demmer, one of my favorite short story writers and author of the Dark Celebrations series.    Can you give us your quickest description of your books? I currently spend the majority of my time writing short fiction.  As a relatively new writer, this givesContinue Reading

Today I’d like to welcome Danielle E. Shipley, fantasy author of the Wilderhark Tales novellas, the novel Inspired, and the book we’re here to talk about – The Ballad of Allyn-a-Dale, book #1 from the Outlaws of Avalon trilogy.   Can you give us your quickest description of your books? MyContinue Reading

It’s hard for a sequel to live up to a great first book in a series, but this one is excellent.  I actually think I liked this book better than the first.  Once again we follow Gorilla Grant on an assignment filled with action, treachery, suspense, and violence.  This time,Continue Reading

Well’p, I finished reading the original version of The Kota today.  This was really cool to do after a decade or so of not looking at it.  It was so fun, in fact, that I’m going to dig around for the original versions of the rest of the series, whichContinue Reading

Here is part 2 of me reading the original version of The Kota that I found from childhood. More surprises!  I completely forgot about the green blob alien, Counterstrike’s original identity, and that Silver Eye used to be a rebel. It’s so trippy seeing how much this story has changed…Continue Reading

Earlier this week,  I dug through a box of old keepsakes and found the first ever version of The Kota.  I hadn’t even skimmed it for a decade.  So,  I thought it would be fun to read some of it on video.  Boy, were there some surprises in there! TrokContinue Reading

Many thanks to Justin Stover of Blue Collar Songwriting for the rare opportunity to be interviewed alongside my brother, Christian Somerville, whoContinue Reading
