On the Amazon-MacMillan Bout

On reading about MacMillan and its current row with Amazon, I am reminded of that scene in "Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince" where Ron and Harry must tussle over the single most authoritative text on potions left in a cubbard by the author. It leaves both boys with a bad taste in their mouths, and contributes to the general atmosphere of evil doings at work by Voldemort at Hogwarts.

But MacMillan may have shot itself in the foot. Yes, it may be perfectly acceptable fo… Continue

Metaphors of Life Journal - Things That Go Bump in the Night

Metaphors of Light
THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

Hmmm, suppose you wrenched from a sound sleep at 2:00 in the morning by someone pounding on your door like the fires of hell were raging inside them. How would you react: irritated, worried, afraid, panic stricken?

Try all of the above. I ran the gambit of these reactions when I found myself in that very situation a few nights ago. I suddenly wished I had a large dog with a blood curdling bark to discourage the apparent madman at my apartment… Continue

Please Add Reviews

Any reviews you do for an author please post them here on this site. If you will post them under the Discussion page. The reason is simply we want to generate interest in the books. So if someone reads the review they can comment on it and then another person can add to it. That way all will be able to not only see the reviews they can be part of them as well.
Once again we are all thinking outside of the box - feel free to post banners or anything else here too.
And please invite your friends and family to join us here. This is a great resource for readers to find new authors who they have never read before.
Martha had an excellent idea. It is called "Buy/Review Swap" the way this works is if you find a book that you think you might like to read and review contact that author. See if they will buy your book and you will buy theirs, then each of you read the book and post the reviews here. Then we start the dialogue as we are doing now. The reviews can and should also be posted on Amazon and other reviews site.
