While I don’t do much ARCs these days, sometimes you just have to request something you know you need to read. Let’s get down to it immediately: CVLT is spelled that way because it is about cult (yes, with a “L”) and this just happens to be the fifth b ...more |

I think it’s safe to say that this surpassed PRESSURE and DEATHLESS as Jeff Strand’s darkest story. And I don’t say that lightly. For the first half of the book, I was fairly sure this would be WRONG TURN meeting FUNNY GAMES, but Strand managed to tak ...more |

Good Luck to you in all your endeavors.
You are very talented my friend.

Thank you for all the feedback so far, I really appreciate everyone who takes the time.
For any of my reviewer friends on GR - if you are willing to give me a review, I am willing to send you the story. Drop me a PM.
Happy New Year to all - may 2022 be better than the last!FFS - drop this 20-20-you shit right now!
To all who celebrates Christmas, Hannuhkah or whatever else floats your boat, have a happy festive season and stay safe.Fuck 2021 - we hope next year is better.
Big news:
I have joined Candace Nola for editing next year - PM me if you are looking for any services.
Okay, so I gave in and created a Facebook account. Feel free to say hello:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
Hi all,I have joined the team of IndieMuse - check out reviews for Horror, Humor and Thrillers at:
https://www.myindiemuse.com
;)
My GR is giving problems - can't do much until it gives errors.Anyway - busy time ahead, thinking of my friends on GR, but don't get much time on the pc.
Did my first editing job - felt great!
Sorry everybody - time is kicking my ass a bit - I will read your reviews when I can...
To all:This site and writing reviews is a hobby, something I like to do to relax and have a chat or two.
Please DO NOT pm me about "a very lucrative and legitimate opportunity especially for me..."
I am not the gullible one between the two of us, you fuck!
Does it make me a snob that I laughed my ass off when a car drove past me with a license plate saying FLAWLES???

Dear Goodreads,I want to thank you for creating a platform where those with a love for the written word can get together and share their thoughts and feelings about stories.
We need to discuss the rating system, though.
What will it take to get a half added?
While it may not seem important to some, there are a lot of us who do analyze more than just one aspect of a story. Call it a whimsical quirk, if you will.
Should it bother us that three stars is average, right in the middle, but comes to 60%, which is...you guessed it, above average?
If you can't understand the frustration that little anomaly causes, then congratulations, you probably sleep better at night than most of us.
At the end of the day, studies have shown that people who read tend to be of higher intelligence, and with that comes a lot of baggage sometimes.
Yes, it does bother me that I can't give 4.5 stars to someone who had a great story, but there were some mistakes. To give it five stars is unfair to the other five star stories who truly deserved it, but to give it four stars sells it short.
So, in the interest of fairness (and the sanity of some of my fellow sufferers), can we please take into consideration that it might be beneficial to add half to the rating system.
Yours
I-didn't-ask-to-be-this-way
Seriously, people, is anybody else having a problem with books being rated (that you didn't read) on your account?Today was the 4th time it happened in two weeks!
103 days...since my last cigarette.Today I realized that it actually does get easier when a colleague mumbled something and I didn't feel like jumping on the table, grabbing him by the throat and screaming in his face:
"Enunciate, or I will fucking END you!"

Thanks so much dear Geri, it's always great to hear from you.
Hope all is well on your side.
I'm not on social much these days - have a lot of behind the scenes stuff that keeps me busy, but it's always nice to get a message from a friend, so thank you!
Keep well on that side.
