One way out by Tim Smith is an entertaining and thrilling read. This is my first book by this author and I absolutely enjoyed his fast-paced and entertaining writing style. I loved the sly Lauren Smith, who though was tired and scared, still stood her ground and did not let go of her morals or exploit her "insurance". I admired her friends Nick and Felicia, especially when she came around quickly. I loved other characters that helped her throughout the story, as that helps us believe that humanity still exists even when the situation is dire and everything seems so bleak all around. So wha ..read more

You’ve heard the expression, this is the stuff of nightmares … You have no idea.   The reptilians, the grays and their overlords have had enough with the humans.

Blurb: I met Anna-Marie in December of 1980. Our initial conversations revealed her to be a deep thinker. For her degrees in education (she graduated with two), Anna-Marie took numerous philosophy courses, at which she excelled. Her skill at poetry reflected her superior intelligence and depth of understanding of many difficult subjects which she chose to embrace. Anna-Marie was multi-talented, and that’s an understatement. Her poetry reflects this. However, she was not arrogant or high-minded–quite the opposite. Anna-Marie had a passion for people and especially as a teacher, for her students ..read more

One question I’ve been getting lately is “Why did you choose the genre you write?” For those who don’t know, my focus is contemporary mystery/thrillers and crime fiction, with some romance thrown in. I chose this genre because it’s what I like to read. I originally became a fan of pulp fiction mysteries from watching old film noirs on TV. I’d see something like “Double Indemnity,” “The Maltese Falcon” or “The Big Sleep,” then seek out the book at the library. If I liked it, I’d make my way through everything written by these authors. Came a point where I thought “I’d like to write one of these ..read more

Jim’s Pterodactyl by Andrew R. Williams was an interesting, entertaining and funny read. The story revolves around Ollie the Pterodactyl or "Ropen: as they're called there.

What happens after that forms the crux of the story. While Jim is skeptical and scared, he's helpless and can't help but bonds with and loves Ollie. Moira while seems detached, loves Ollie to bits.

I love writing humorous flirting scenes in my romances. There’s something sensual and fun about two people engaging in verbal jousting when they feel that initial spark and decide to test the waters. Sometimes you can radiate more heat with a few lines of suggestive dialogue than with a paragraph of in-your-face eroticism. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.   Flirting is all part of creating sexual tension with your characters. It’s defined as “trying to attract sexually but without serious intent,” and is an essential ingredient in all romantic encounters. I think it’s safe to as ..read more
