Popular Answered Questions

When I read Flypaper Boy:Coming of Age I was reminded of my quixotic dreams of being a superhero as an awkward teenager (I have never really outgrown this at 47). Does this book reflect the development of some of your personal philosophies and values? Have you practiced any of the martial arts you write about? Thanks, The Blue Rocker

I see confidence and discipline in the martial arts and I think one form or another would be good for most boys as they are growing.

I'm 55 and writing these stories allows me to be the super hero I'd still like to be.

The values and philosophies do reflect my personal beliefs, many of which have followed me throughout my life and others I have come to understand and accept later in life.

Thanks for your questions and for reading my book.(less)

I have enough ideas and so little time to write, between family, the day job, practicing the piano, etc, that when I have my short blocks of writing time during the day, I already know what I need to write.(less)

"Veils and Vengeance" A Book Blast Book Review

If you've read my blog at www.norvaljoe.com at all, you know I'm trying to find my place as an author and trying different things to "build my platform".

At the LDStorymaker's conference I attended the Indie Publisher's track and at one of the panels they mentioned The Author Indie Hub. It seemed like the social network I wasn't able to establish or find on my own. So, once I got back home I signed Read more of this blog post »

Philip Carroll Philip Carroll said: " I tried to read this and had to give up after 10%.
The constant point of view shifts were not just jarring but bewildering.
I believe the author wrote this with a thesaurus and a vow to never use the same word twice.
I would recommend that the author p ...more "
