Book Talk discussion

SWEET!

I'ed love to have your books in physical form.
The only one I've ever seen was a hardcover copy of CURRENCY OF SOULS.

Thanks, Kealan! Excellent! Just ordered Kin. (damn Amazon 1-click buying!) I'll have to wrap it for Christmas and say it was from the kids to avoid my wife having a cow over how many books I have been buying. Merry Christmas to me!!

I can imagine, Kealan.
Actually, it was in a Barnes & Noble.

I can't wait till after Christmas so I can buy, buy, buy:)

all well-deserved, but I just have a comment on your poll:
I chose The Hides, but really for me it's between The Hides and The Turtle Boy. As I said in my review, Vessels just tore-me-up.:)

"emotionally devastating" describes it well:)

Kealan certainly is the Godzilla of emotional impact.

I didn't answer the poll, because I haven't yet read Nemesis.

CHARLENE!

I know. I've been sort of...busy, as you know. : (

I know, sweetie.

I just like torturing you when Kealan isn't available. ;)

Jon: "Godzilla"? Please: the man is much too adorable to qualify as "Godzilla"
Charlene: Why have you not yet read Nemesis? and excluding it, which would you select as favourite?

A literary "Godzilla", Mallory.
Literally, he's more like a tall Furby....

ROFL

Mallory, I have had some issues this week with my Mom, who was in the hospital. Plus I have a horror group that reads a book a week. Plus I belong to the Darkfuse book club, that sends one book and one novella per month. Plus bonus books whenever they feel like it.

Up to this point, without reading Nemesis, I would cheat and choose Stage Whispers. : )

Jon, you're a sweetie yourself.

Kealan wrote: "That's kinda part of why I like VESSELS more than the previous two. The more emotionally devastating something is, the more successful I consider it."

For me, the subject matter in Turtle Boy made it the most "emotionally devastating" novel(a) of yours to date, and I also voted it as my favorite. Hm. You may be on to something there.

Charlene, very sorry to hear about your mother-will keep her in my prayers.
A book a week? too cool.
I mean to join the Dark Fuse book club-after Dec. 30 (when I have funds again).

Kealan: "I am, yes." You are: a literary Godzilla? (sounds like Literary Lion, which used to be the description of Norman Mailer, whom you don't resemble). or you are: a tall Furby?:)

yes, Turtle Boy is devastating; I reread it Tgiving week, as I did my "Timmy Quinn Series" marathon.:)

Mallory, thanks. (The Darkfuse club is AWESOME, btw!)

And my Mom is home now. Thanks for the prayers. : )

I'm so glad, Charlene! I know what a trial it is when your loved ones are ill or in health crisis.

Thanks, Kealan and thanks again, Mallory. : )

That's good, Charlene!

*BIG HUG*

*BIG HUGS* right back, Jon! Thanks! : )

Glad your mom's home, Charlene! Hope all is well.

Thanks, Bill!

Oh! I noted Glen Kritsch selected "Kin" as one of his 2012 favourites! (yes, I realise it's a non sequitur LOL)

I saw that too, Mallory!

SWEET!

That's cold.

oh, that was awful!:))

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HA!

: )

We always knew you were too much of a gentleman to stoop to such tactics, Kealan.

well...:) What is an author without a sense of humour?:)

I doubt this is the place to put this comment...and it is a comment...not a question...however...

I only today realized that you were the fellow that designed the cover for "Screamscapes" by Evans Light! You are not only a prolific writer but one very talented artist, too!

Congratulations, Master Burke! (and Evans, too!)

Kealan is responsible, in my humble opinion, for some of the best cover art around today.

I'm super impressed, Jon! So much talent in one man! ...and I was already impressed with his writing and how prolific he was! Guess I'll have to check out what other covers he's done. Thanks for the info, Jon...:>

Anytime, Cecilia!

Here's a few more of those covers:

Wow! Thanks, Jon! Talented fellow, isn't he...:>

Thank you for sharing...I also marked a couple to read that I didn't already have marked, too...so thanks, again for that...:>

Cheers!
--Cecilia

You're welcome, Cecilia! Yes, he is!


Enjoy!

Oops!

Sorry, Kealan. I thought that one was yours, too.

He's in good company.

You're welcome.

Really? My apologies to Mr. Sera.

Daniele Serra's art work is unbelievably great, I think.

I love his covers-most especially:



and

I was psyched to see it, actually!

Because of Sera's work with Darkfuse I had become used to associating his work with excellent dark fiction.

That is awesome I been waiting for when they will be released on B&N, my nook has been waiting.
