Hey guys,

My fellow fantasy author Andy Peloquin just released the second book of his Queen of Thieves Series. Both books are at 99 cents for a limited time, so you might like to check them out.

Here is the blurb of the first book:

My Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

The first time I saw the cover of this book, I was like “What the hell!” A cat on a burrito, flying through space! I just had to grab it. I was glad I did so.

Time Burrito is an excellent science fiction-comedy. It doesn’t fear to laugh at certain tropes of the genre, and this makes it an even better read. There are also satirical elements in the story, which add to the fun. The main character “Pete” is a pretty useless guy, and it was interesting to se...

Sword in the Storm (The Rigante Series, Book 1) [image error]

David Gemmell was one of the inspirations behind my short story A Song of Blood. So, I guess, I just had to write this.

A Note on David Gemmell

It’s been over two years since I first read Sword in the Storm. I can vividly remember being blown away by the rich storytelling, infused with themes of courage, redemption and the grey nature of the Rigante world. It was a fantasy novel and of course there was magic. Magic unlike any I had experienced...

I happened upon Readfree.ly a couple of days back after seeing an author say that they had found the website useful in a facebook group. I checked it out and, to my surprise, found that the website offers completely free promotion services to authors. They do have a selection process for books submitted, which is of course necessary. All they ask for in return is to share their website and I am doing just that. I don’t know if my book will be selected, but if it is then I’ll report back in a...

I stumbled upon Instafreebie less than a month ago. I had 150 mailing list subscribers back then. Now I have nearly 900, and the numbers are only steadily climbing. The subcribers all came from cross promos a certain facebook group organises, of which I am a part of. The magical thing about Instafreebie is that every time anybody downloads a book, they are automatically included into the authors newsletter.

I recommend Instafreebie to any author, big or small, who wants to reach out to an ev...

4.5 of 5 stars

This is probably the most hilarious book I have read this year. The hero, Issac, is a great character who has countless insecurities (on one occasion he actually soils his pants). Casey Matthews doesn’t allow his characters to stick to sterotypes and he weaves his words like a master storytellar. Grab this book right away if you like anything fantasy. It’s a refreshing take on the genre and you’ll find yourself laughing out loud at many points (there’s bikini armour in the boo...

The Invisible Entente is one of those books which keep you on the edge of your seats. This is urban fantasy at its best. Author Krista Walsh has done a great job. The structure of the book especially is interesting, with each character narrating their own backstory. The author gives them unique voices and they become very three dimensional. Go grab this book right away and enjoy!

It’s author Jay Erickson on the blog this time. He is the author of the Blood Wizard Chronicles. You can visit him at his website http://www.authorjayerickson.com/

1) Tell us a bit about yourself.

I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago where the houses are so close that you can reach out and touch both of them at once. Those suburbs are an eclectic mixing pot of cultures, religions, and poverty levels. I think such variety gave me a strong understanding conflict and identity at a very you...
