On Writing 1: Architecture

May 16, 2012 By Seeley James

Our goal as writers is to craft a story so interesting that strangers will pay money to hear it. It is mid-2012 and hundreds of thousands of writers have come out of the closet. Most are looking for a marketing method to make them rich by writing e-books. Many bloggers leading the way maintain fairly […]

Review: Deep Fathom

May 10, 2012 By Seeley James

Deep Fathom – Author James Rollins ~145,000 words, $22.99 HC / $7.99 E Every now and then I get tired of waiting for a Sigma Force novel from Mr. Rollins and I check out his author page on Amazon. I saw a new title released March 13, 2012 and immediately ordered it. I read it […]

Review: Pentecost

April 28, 2012 By Seeley James

Review: The Innocent

The Innocent – Author Taylor Stevens ~100,000 words, $24.00 The great thing about finding a debut author long after she published her first book is the short wait for her second book. I ordered the Hunger Games two months before Catching Fire came out. Then I had to wait an eternity, like a child waiting […]

Review: Before I Go To Sleep

February 3, 2012 By Seeley James

Review by Seeley James Before I Go To Sleep – Author S.J. Watson ~110,000 words, $25.99   The opening of this mystery/thriller leaves the reader without a reference point. You are just as disoriented as the main character, Christine. And, wow, is she ever disoriented. She has no idea who she woke up next to, […]
