What’s up with taylor dean!!!!

Posted on by

Fresh from taylor dean. To check out her blog, go to Joshua’s Folly.

Joshua’s Folly
.
Coming your way by the end of March 2013!
.
So, what’s the hold up?
.
Proof copies of Joshua’s Folly are currently being read by some early readers. If they like it, I’m ready to publish. If they don’t like it, it’s back to the drawing board for me!
.
Why put so much faith in my early readers?
.
I trust them. They tell me what they think of the book; no holds barred. They’ve never steered me wrong in the past. If they feel major changes are needed in the novel, I’ll make them.
.
I don’t send a book out to my early readers unless I feel it is READY. I’m happy with the book as it stands.
.
That being said, I cannot publish a book without having others read it and tell me what they think of it! I NEED a second (and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth, etc.) opinion. I need fresh eyes to peruse the novel and tell me what I missed. Are there logic errors? Are there huge mistakes? Another set of eyes will see what I missed. I’m too close to the manuscript. If there are mistakes, I can no longer see them.
.
Sorry for the delay in releasing this book! Thanks for being patient. But I have to be sure I’m putting the best possible work out there for the reading public!
.
After proofing Joshua’s Folly several times on my computer, I thought the book was complete.
.
Then I received my proof copy.
.
As usual, I found just a FEW edits!!
Reading a book you are holding in your hands is a different experience than reading it on your computer. You see things you wouldn’t normally see.
.
Like, the, fact, that, I, often, put, commas, where, I, don’t, need, them!
.
I’ve become a ‘comma nazi!’ I pause at every single comma and ask myself, “Is this comma needed?”
.
My final edits are complete. We’ll see what the consensus is from my early readers!
.
In the meantime, I’m getting to work on edits for my next book, FOR NICK!
(coming your way in June 2013!)
.
I think this might be my favorite cover . . .

Blood Warrior (The Alexa Montgomery Saga, #1)The Alexa Montgomery Saga

Blood Warrior:

When her home is attacked by murderous vampires, 17-year-old Alexa is forced to leave her mother for dead in order to save her sister. She soon learns that she is the last known member of an elite race of supernatural Warriors, and is thrust into a world full of vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort of savior. Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks to gain control; a monster that seeks blood.

The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but Alexa’s instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces. And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.

JoeOther books by H.D. Gordon

Joe:

From the author of the Alexa Montgomery Saga, comes a book that will take you into the mind of a genuine psychopath, the lives of six ordinary people, and the world of a very special girl named Joe.

Joe is seemingly an ordinary college student. She works, studies and reads. But in between these activities Joe has a gift that promises to add a dose of color to her life at any given moment. Joe sees things before they happen. Bad things, and the worst thing she has ever faced is just around the corner. Someone is planning a massacre at the college university that Joe attends, and the only person with a hope of stopping the psychopath is her.

Oh, the beauty of foresight. More like a curse. Joe has four days to figure out the mystery, make plans to take down the psycho, and save the lives of people. People like you and me. Ordinary people.

Stay tuned for my upcoming Review

Praise

“Well written and very fast paced. You won’t get bored or find your mind wandering. I’d love to see a sequel to this collection and see what happens next. I give this book five out of five donuts.”

“This book starts off dipping its toe right into the heart of the story, not unlike Ms. White‘s YA novel Elemental, and the story never really slows down to a lazy pace; making it a very easy and fast read.”

“Ms. White wonderfully succeeded in instilling humor into ten short stories about vampires, zombies, ghosts, and one mad scientist. Each story is brilliantly linked. The Victorian era setting delightfully adds to the humor.”

“This is a wonderful mix of Steampunk and Horror written in Emily White’s unmistakable brilliance and style. Does it get any better than that?”

About Author Emily White

Emily White lives in NY, wedged between two of the Great Lakes and a few feet of snow and ice. She’s spent most of her life running away from the cold, and even spent a year in Iraq, but now contents herself with writing her characters into warm, exotic places in faraway galaxies. When not tapping away at her computer keys, she can be found reading, reading, and reading some more. And when she’s not doing that, she’s usually playing video games with her husband, peek-a-boo with her kids, or walking through her garden, wondering why the bugs insist on eating all her vegetables.

Giveaway and Review for Lady Justice and The Cruise Ship Murders by Robert Thornhill

Posted on by

.Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders (Lady Justice, #11)

Add to Goodreads

Out of the blue, Mark Stewart received a letter in the mail from Skagway, Alaska. A. Prospector gold minerclaimed  to know about gold that had been stolen from his great great grandfather in 1898.

At the same time the Stewarts were preparing for their voyage, Ox and Judy De Marce, invited my wife, Maggie, and I on an Alaskan Cruise for their honeymoon. We’d only been married a year ourselves and had never been on a cruise. Sounded great.

Amy Stewart had kept the letter from  A. Prospector and did some research. His facts were true and accurate. After talking with him over the computer, Amy and Mark decided some family history and cruising would go good together, so they were on their way.

As the Stewarts prepared for the cruise, others were making plans of their own. They had hacked into Quimby’s, A Prospector’s, email account to keep track of what he was up to.

One slip up while packing, will cause them grief. I loved that he put in their fiasco through airport security.

http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/alaska/images/s/cheap-alaska-cruise.jpg

All six of them met for the first time at the airport and found out they were taking the same cruise. But if they thought it was going to be a vacation, they had another thing coming.

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos  5 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others

A humorous mystery novel that made me think of Janet Evanovich‘s books. I had been immediately attracted to the book by the title and cover. The blurb made me know it was going to be an adventure with plenty of murder and mystery told in a light-hearted way. I love the “noir” type of book.

The guys are typical guys and the same goes for the women. Whatever the gals wanted  the guys went along with. They dressed up for cruise dinners and socialized with the other passengers. I’ve been on cruises, so I know the program.

I love adventure novels and treasure hunting. This book contained all the elements. There were multiple story lines and it was action packed.

I loved the reference to Clint Eastwood in Rawhide – herding cows. “Move ’em out, head ’em up, head ’em up, move ’em on, move ’em out, head ’em up – Rawhide. I remember watching the TV show and singing along.

My husband and I joke all the time about following the herd.

The author made other references to the old westerns. It seemed to describe the places in the book in a great way.  Skagway was Dodge City and Tombstone rolled into one.

Quimby, the professor who found the map and started the whole thing, reminded me of Indiana Jones. I love references to TV shows and movies. It helps to picture everything in my mind.

When I met Willie, Jerry and Anne, they had me cracking up and kept me laughing. I loved them.

…Just like Timex watches – they take a licking and keep on ticking. Full of clichés, but not too overdone. It is his writing style and added a humorous element, keeping me laughing throughout the book.

He also made me think, that with every page I turned, something would happen. Kept waiting, anticipating. Oh, and it kept me laughing. LOL

Human nature..skew the scales of justice. Those times, the call will go out from Lady Justice for someone to step up and right those scales.

 “The bartenders have concocted a special drink just for the cruise. It’s made of Viagra and prune juice. They call it the ‘Get up and Go!'”

I won this signed paperback on Robert Thornhill’s Website.

Today is the last day, so get yours HERE.

The Chronicles of Good and Evil - Dracula's Lair / The Darkest Tower

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Dracula‘s Lair/The Dark Tower

the first book in the Epic Fantasy Trilogy

The Chronicles of Good And Evil

1450. Southwest Ireland. Daniel Milligan is born. And dies the same day. But his Life is not over. It’s just beginning. And he’s not a Vampire. Daniel Milligan has become an Angel. And a Warrior. The 13th in an elite legion of Angels. With a life and death mission: The preservation of Good and the death of Evil.

.
Their foe is the essence of evil incarnate. Satan. The Devil himself. Now allied with Dracula. Not Bram Stoker’s monster of Legend, Folklore and Myth, but the real flesh and blood creature. Will the Supernatural powers of their massed army of Demons, Werewolves and Vampires enable them to rule the World?

.
Earth’s landscape is soon to be reshaped. But for good? – Or evil? Magic and Wizards are powerless. Evil lingers in the abyss of night. And only the Epic Quest of Daniel and his Angel Warriors can challenge it.

.
But Daniel is torn between the family he never knew – and his duty to all mankind. Thrust into an unknown Paranormal World and time where the line between Fantasy and reality is vague – Daniel must choose between his Human family and his duty to all Humanity.
In the darkest tower of Draculas castle – an apocalyptic battle will decide the fate of all mankind. There can be only one victor. One who will write the final chapter in the Chronicles of Good and Evil.

.

Praise For Dracula’s Lair/TheDarkTower

.

“The American Tolkien has arrived” – Publishers Newsletter
“Judging from this book ‘The Chronicles of Good And Evil’seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written.” – New York Book Salon
“If you can put this book down – check for a pulse!” – MustRead Reviews
“C. David Murphy has created a highly imaginative yet believeable Fantasy World that pulls us relentless into it’s orbit like a paranormal black hole” – Post Tribune Reviews
“This Author is a poet. Who tells a story with prose.” – Readers Choice Journal
“The unavoidable (and valid) comparisons with Tolkien not withstanding, Mr. Murphy has elevated the great Epic Fantasy tradition by several stratospheres. His characters pulse with authenticity. His multi-layered scenario entices us with every sentence. His vivid prose takes us prisoner. Willingly. Appreciatively.” – Lawrence Stanford – Criterion Reviews.

About C. David Murphy

.

C. David Murphy

.

Being raised in the mountains of North Carolina had a special influence on me. The dreams that invented these stories started there. Even at an early age, being all of six, my teachers saw the capacity in me to create stories with such depth – that they seemed to marvel at the tales which I wrote for my class assignments. While my devotion to and inspiration for writing continued to be strong through my teen age years, there was a force equally strong bearing it’s influence. Parents! My Father in particular. Who was, understandably, not “over the moon” with the idea of his son pursuing a career as perilous and uncertain as a writer.

And so, finally I embarked on a financial career. With my bachelor’s degree in accounting, I’ve spent the majority of my Adult life in both the retail and manufacturing industries. But I never stopped writing. Because that’s what and who I am. There is no greater joy I’ve found on this earth than to create characters with true and genuine emotions, feel their heartbeat through every word I write; their trails, their hopes and ambitions; to breathe life into their eyes and see their souls become one with me and the reader. It’s my hope that when someone picks up my stories and reads the full weight of them, that somehow I’ve affected change in their lives, brought them to places they could never have imagined before, and moved them to believe in humanity again – to go out into the world and create “goodwill towards all”.
