Available now - The Prophecy by J.A. Joshi


In the land of Bharat, Mathura was an kingdom oppressed by the tyrant King Kansa. All the people cried out for deliverance, from the sages in the forests to the servants in the royal palace. Then a prophecy was made that a savior would be born, born to a couple no one expected...

If you’ve never read her stories, they are amazing!


Cover reveal – Kinetic by SK Anthony
NA Urban Fantasy
Release Date: September 2013

Being strong is one thing. Being an unlimited source of power is quite another…

Add it to Goodreads.

And this is an awesome year for geek movie fans! Pacific Rim comes out this Friday. Del Toro, giant robots, and giant monsters. Reviews say the action scenes are incredible. Downside is cheesy dialogue, but as long as George Lucas didn’t write it, I’ll live. Bring on the battles!

Wednesday Movie Quote

Today it’s a free-for-all! Name one of your most favorite movie quotes.

Going with The Usual Suspects and one of the truest, most profound things I’ve ever heard:

“The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

And we are taking a break for a couple months! Thanks to everyone who has played along and left quotes in the comments.


Just for Laughs

True story! A lifelong fan of the Cleveland Browns made a final request in his obituary.

The man "respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time."

Touche!

Read about it at ESPN.


Early Musical Influences

Since there were questions Monday, I thought I’d share a little bit of the music side of me today.

Most people enjoy music and were influenced by what they heard as teens. My love of rock music started early with bands such as Rush, Kansas, Boston, Yes, Judas Priest, Triumph, ELO, Van Halen, and Blue Oyster Cult. Even back then I liked the progressive edge and my favorite songs from each of those bands were never the radio hits.

What were some of your favorite bands as a teen?

Book Trailer Overload

Just because I can post all three now! And maybe some of you haven’t seen the first two trailers.







See some new books to pick up? What's your favorite movie quote? Do you enjoy book trailers? Seeing Pacific Rim? And what are your early musical influences?
