Argie, I don't know why anybody would pull off Amazon unless there was an estate issue over who had rights to the intellectual property once the author has died. A writer who I liked over at Baen Books had a dispute with management resulting in all his books being pulled. Then he died, with a recent...

Yes, LC Allen above is my younger brother. He's been a ton of help getting my writing off the ground. Also one of the smartest people I've ever known. I think I can claim responsibility for getting him hooked on Dale's books, back when I bugged him incessantly to read Builder. When not doing the wri...

Don't feel bad, Dale. Barry Manilow did some really good songs. Darn it, now I have "Mandy" running through my head. Looking forward to seeing Gwen's latest adventure. I think she is up for a little emotional stretching. Because she is inhabiting a beautiful shell, many people in her new w...

I feel your pain, Shadelit. I understand if you get buried by school or work, but you need to keep your readers informed. I read a really cool book set in Australia entitled "The Unnaturals". This book just blew me away and seemed like the springboard for a new series. I enjoyed it a lot. ...

I saw where Sam Sithavath (mangled up that name, sorry) recently published his next book in the vampire apocalypse series. These have been really good so far and I bought the latest one but have been too busy to read it. The first five books were great, though. Been too busy because I just published...

Welcome, brother. I told you this forum was a lot of fun. Back on topic, Sean Leibling just released a pair of books, the God Effect and Chaos Game I think they are titled. Pretty good stories that represent a big departure from his Bullets, Brains and Babes series. Both are first books in their own...

DavePhipps, there are independent editors out there but the fact is, you get what you pay for. I have a connection who is setting me up with one such editor and we will see on my third book. Now, for the little short story I am about to release, "Hunger Driven", I will not be using an edit...

Manddscott, Thank you. Hard Rain Falling , the third book, will be longer. I've done a ton of research as well as having traveled a bit in the area so hopefully that will translate well. Also, Book Three actually features some down time in the first few chapters, which allows me to expand the "...

Shadelit, check out NC Reed. This author has some pretty interesting stories and they are LOOOONNGGG. I just finished Parno's Company, and I was supposed to be working on my next book. I got no chapters completed, but I read a really good book. Could use some diting help but I think we are all forgi...

Here, Here, Ryan. Totally agree that Eve is just at the starting point of her bada$$ career. She still needs to learn what Lynn has to teach and probably see if Maggie will help her get over her fire issues (not Maggie's fault, but well, who better?). Eve has only just begun her training program and...
