The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
In this sequel to the popular epic fantasy The Warded Man, the legend of the hero Arlen Bales takes a backseat as two other characters capture our imagination. There is Jardir, the pseudo-hero and king who leads violent, stereotypical desert folk against the tranquil “green lands.” The rags-to-fame story of Jardir mirrors Arlen’s, feeling repetitious
Second Time Around by Beth Kendrick – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
Beth Kendrick’s chick lit novels are always light, fun and easy to read (my reviews of The Pre-Nup and Nearlyweds), and Second Time Around was no exception. I love how Kendrick can develop solid and sympathetic characters in a short amount of time. It’s easy to fall in love with the four women in this
The Fastest Way to Write Your Book by Dave Haslett – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
This is an amazing book that in just four months enabled me to complete a novel I have been agonizing over for six years, write two eco guidebooks from scratch, and spend a lot more time with my family instead of writing all the time.

The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1) by Stephen King You ever find that you like a book more and more the longer you think about it? I didn’t overly love The Gunslinger (1982) [US] [UK] when I finished it, but the more I keep thinking about it, the more I really like what King
The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett – Review

The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett When buzz first began to build about Peter V. Brett, it wasn’t his debut novel, The Warded Man, everyone was talking about. Rather, it was about the Blackberry-like device he wrote the majority of the novel on, during his morning commute. Once readers got their hands on The

Write Without Editing
about 4 months ago - No comments
Too many novelists miss the chance to write powerfully, because they constantly stop to edit as they write. Learn to write without editing. Go back and edit later. Your work will be so much more vibrant and you will draw your reader right into the story.
