The Superpower

So, my new novel THE SUPERPOWER is now available on Amazon--either as a paperback, or as three e-books. It's about supervillains taking over America and turning it into a fascist state--you know, nonfiction. I plan on doing some giveaways in the near future, so stay tuned.

Quotes by D.D. Barant (?)

“I've got a bad case of the 3:00 am guilts - you know, when you lie in bed awake and replay all those things you didn't do right? Because, as we all know, nothing solves insomnia like a nice warm glass of regret, depression and self-loathing.”
― D.D. Barant, Dying Bites

“I look over at him. He stares straight ahead.
"So," I say. "Golem, huh?"

“Paranoia is just the bastard child of fear and good sense." (Charlie)

"Poor thing. Let's adopt it, give it a last name and raise it right." (Jace)

"You want to get it a puppy, too?"

"Sure. We'll call it Panic. It and little Paranoia can play together at the park and scare the hell out of all the other kids.”

Polls

Time to pick our next series read. There were a lot of ones nominated, so in order to get a consensus we will do this poll in 2 steps. I will put all of the ones nominated in the first poll for one week, the top 6, will move on to a the final poll, for another week.

My hopes in doing this is because we are a small group I don't want to end up with a lot of ties as there have been great books nominated. :)

Only the first book is listed for the poll, but we will be reading the first 3 in the series.
