INDIE Writers

Supporting Indie writers is one of my passions. As a Indie writer myself, I'm amazed at the courage and fortitude practiced by these pioneers. One of my goals in this coming year is to highlight these writers by spotlighting a new book. I will leave the critique to you as the reader. However, on occassion, I may give my views on a writer or a book.
I read one of Megan Hart's books a few years ago. At first, I was pulled in by her expressive dialogue. She phrases conversations in a believable way. If her pattern holds true, I look forward to reading "Nothing in Common".

A great Scifi Series

A few years ago, I stumbled upon a book written by J.R. Ward. It had actually been a gift. I'd told a friend that I liked the move "Interview with a Vampire". She told me about this book that she wanted me to read. At the time, I didn't know that it was part of a series. Which made reading the sixth book in the series first, more than a little confusing.
When I asked her. Why did she give me the book out of order? She laughed, then she said "Knowing you as I do. I knew after you read it, you would be hooked."
Well, she was right. After I finally struggled through the sixth book. I found the first through the fifth books online. I even went back to re-read the sixth book again. This writers style of writing was unlike anything I'd ever read before. After reading her first book. It took a while to believe that a woman could write with such a convincing gruff tone. She more than pulls it off. Since reading her first book. I've read every book in the series. "The Black Dagger Brotherhood" If you like the paranormal. You've got to take the time to read this one.

What's new...may not be the same ole stuff

I just recently read a book by one of my favorite writers. At first I was expecting the same of her wit that I'd come to love and respect. How shocked I was when I made it through the first chapter. Immediately I realized that the publishers must have changed her editor. Needless to say something was missing. I tried to continue...but I couldn't. So... I'm throwing this out into the void. Beware. When you switch a formula...you might not get the same recipe.

Paranormal Saga's

What makes a good romance using paranormal as the backdrop? Personally I think the use of contemporary as well as fantasy can make an interesting romance. By using the tried and true. Vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters and an assortment of make believe beings created during the time of Frankenstein and the Swamp Thing. Romance can be found in any creepy formate. The key lies within the writer and their imagination. While it is true...paranormal isn't for every romance novice. But those who enjoy this genre understand like me. There is something to be said for fantasy. Paranormal romance is Fiction at its best.
