Belated Book Review: Paper Castles, By: B. Fox

-

As I was making some updates on my blog today, I realized that the review from one of my favorite books I read last year was no where to be found!  After looking around a bit, I couldn't believe it, but I had never posted it!  Not sure how this happened, but it did.  Sorry, B! 

Okay, I hadn't normally picked up books like this in the past, but there was something about that title that called to me.  Paper Castles; it's just a perfect mix of vulnerability and strength, I guess.  After meeting James, the main character, I really couldn't help but find myself walking in his shoes throughout the rest of the read.  This was an easy book to get lost in.  The author did an amazing job describing the sights and emotions James was going through, and they did it in a way I was able to experience it as well.  I could almost taste his coffee!

This book is extremely well written!  But get ready for that surprise turning point in the story.  Por James...  I actually had to put the book down for a bit.  I won't say anymore than that.  Great work, and a great book!

I will add, not only is this an amazing book, but the author, B. Fox, is an amazing person also.  They are extremely supportive to the indie writing community, and has been a shining light of success for all the rest of us to look up to.  

Certainly check this book out.  Available in paperback, hardback, and on Kindle Unlimited.  Here's the link!  PAPER CASTLES

BOOK REVIEW: Abandoned, By Vicky Ball

Vicky Ball’s second book, much like her first, tackles some challenging and unfortunate situations that we tend to overlook, or ignore.   Using her main character, Maddie, as a vessel, the author masterfully captured the feeling of growing up in an alcoholic home and feeling like there is nowhere turn and nowhere to run.  Then, a small glimmer of hope, something to grasp onto and fight for is dropped into Maddie’s life in the form of a family she never knew she had.  But when Maddie goes in search for this hope, she doesn't find exactly what she expected.   I really enjoyed the way the story moved fast and the way that the characters spoke with one another in a very real way.  I did have some trouble resonating with the characters at the beginning, but I attribute that mostly to the fact that the target audience is more teen/young adult, which I am not.  However, once the majority of introductions were completed, I was completely drawn in and could not put it down.  Well done!

Cover Options for The Gouge

I finished writing my crime/thriller novel, The Gouge, a few weeks ago.  The book has been sent off to the editor, and so now we wait.  I'm hoping to independently publish the book later this Spring.  But before I get to that point, I need to come up with a striking cover.  Admittedly, I am not the best at creating book covers.  However, I did come up with two different covers that I'm kind of excited about.  Have a look, and feel free to let me know what you think in the comment section, or just send me a message.  Thanks!

Exciting News!

Well, it is officially happening!  You will soon be able to enjoy The Gouge in audio book format!  I just finished a zoom meeting with a wonderful audio book producer, Raymond Holdridge II, and we've worked out all the expected kinks, as well as a plan to work with unforeseen circumstances.  Right now, our plan is to have to file available on Amazon and Audible by the end of the year, shortly followed by availability on I-tunes! Obviously, I am completely stoked about this news and that this step is finally being taken.  If you follow me at all, you probably know I've been looking into ways to convert my book into audio for some time, but I have been running into one road block after another.  I feel truly blessed to have been able to fall into contact with great people with similar goals!   I'll share more information about the progression, and availability of this product as I have it!  Just wanted to share the news!  Have a great day!  Keep reading...and listening!
