NOT FORGIVEN, Araneya Series #2 – Neven Carr
This is one of those series where one really needs to absorb the first one first, but, that (FORGOTTEN) being on special at the moment, grabbing it now would be a worthwhile introduction to this one. Both are well worth a read if you like a well-crafted mystery with fully flavoured characters, both good and evil. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the reader is not always sure which is which…

Why readers love the underdog #writing #amwriting
In all aspects of life, people are drawn to the underdog.
the geek who saves the planet and gets the girl/boy, while the jock is passed by. the outsider team with part-time players who topple the mighty favorite with the money and star players. the ‘David’ meets ‘Goliath’. the poor farm boy / girl who becomes the great warrior / saves the universe / becomes the hero of the quest.There is a reason why we love the underdog, and it all comes down to psychology.
As a writer, und...

FORGOTTEN – Neven Carr
An enjoyable read, the first in the exciting ‘Araneya Series’, involving a ruthless band of Italian-Australian ex-Vietnam Vets out to silence a child witness when it appears that her trauma-induced lost memory might be returning.
Young teacher, Claudia Cabriatti does not think it strange that all children have no memory of life in early childhood, but hers begin at age eight. Then a woman is shot and killed in the grounds of Claudia’s home; a strangely familiar face…

10 wonderful quotes about being a writer #amwriting #writer #writerslife

Why feedback is so important… #writing #amwriting #writerslife
I was recently reading On Writing by Stephen King. It’s one of those books you dip in and out of and even re-read. While I love his candid style, it is something else within this book that I want to reflect on.
The importance of nurturing young mindsI have always been a reader; my earliest memories are of sitting with my head buried in a book. People would buy me books, my mum in particular bought me a huge number as gifts. I would read my favorites over and over again. I was...

Still tryingto help indie authors. #SupportIndieAuthors #BookwormsUnite
Hey guys, I know it’s been awhile since I posted, a ton of life happening so fast right now. Anyways, even with the busy life, I’m still all about that indie life.
