By  Lacey Reah I had been writing plays for so long, but after having a family and moving away from NY, I lost interest in workshopping plays and spending hours working with actors and creating something for an audience.  I had written a play that might have been too big for a non musical stage [...]

By Sheri The Jaws of Adana is a very short, too short, collection of stories by m.j. euringer.  There are only three stories in this self-published book, but they pack a punch and stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. In the title story, Jonas is a man at the end of his rope.  No job, [...]

By Richard Jay Parker I’ve never met an author who has had writer’s block. I’d certainly be interested to hear from anyone who has suffered the condition.

Written by R.A. Evans  1. Your dark novel RHINEHOTH has all of the classic elements readers have come to expect in their gothic stories – vampires, werewolves, and the promise of salvation. yet, you’ve taken these elements and spun them in an entirely fresh way.

Written by R.A. Evans: I’m a sucker for any story that involves discovering the gateway to hell. I blame Dante and his classic work INFERNO for this fascination. Needless to say, when I stumbled across DIAVOLINO my expectations were fairly high – and Emmett’s dark tale does not disappoint. The story follows architect Tom Lupton [...]

by Mari Miniatt Some of you, okay very few of you, will recognize my name. I wrote a couple of vampire books, that are not even blipping on the radar, but when people find them, they love them. So that is good. There are so many reason I wrote them. But the one I would [...]
