Book Review: Old Bastards

Hi, I’m Tracy. I work in a nursing home, and to say I hate it would be a gross fucking understatement. It’s got a few perks though — like the sleeping pills (so long as no one sees you take them), and Juan, the hot guy who sells me weed and totally wants in my pants.

But lately, things have been fucking weird. Some old bitch died — it wasn’t my fault, I swear! — and now she’s haunting me. Everywhere I go, she's there, creeping me out with her big creepy face. Does she want something, or am I just tripping? Either way, she better fuck off before I really lose my shit.

Book Review: Dude! Where's My Princess?

Arwin swerves off the road to avoid a dragon and ends up in another world. It’s exactly the change of scenery he needs, a new direction in life.

He meets Yaz, a talking skeleton on an epic quest. Together, they set off to find a long-lost princess, the former knight’s great love, who was magically imprisoned hundreds of years ago by an evil necromancer, the same man who cursed Yaz into undeath. Their first destination is the remote castle of the legendary, evil Dark Enchantress in the eerie Swamp of Spiders. But getting there won’t be easy. There are regions filled with dangerous puns and magic, a revolution to assist, forest nymphs, and a whole tribe of ugly green goblins standing in their way.

Book Review: The Twilight Cap

Hank and Lucy Dewitt are new arrivals in Jemison, Wisconsin. It is a rural town, and home to a brand-new species of mushroom, one that glows in the night, and is the subject of Lucy’s research. Settled in and ready to start a family, the couple begins searching for a place to call their own, but the town is overtaken by a high-powered land developer, who buys everything in sight, prepared to transform it into a corporate community.

As they lose house after house to the firm, they feel as though home ownership is out of their reach, until the mushrooms call Hank into the woods, where he stumbles upon an abandoned home, surrounded by the strange, glowing fungi. With a promise to the owner to never open the locked door in the basement, the home becomes theirs, to the dismay of the developer, who thought the land was already his. Moved in and ready to turn the page, they think the battle with the corporation is over, but the mushrooms appear to be more than just a simple fungus, and the developer is just getting started.

Book Review: Networking for Writers

Networking for Writers is a practical, guided workbook to help you create, strengthen or revamp your current network—whether that’s because your current network is not the supportive community you need, or you haven’t found your community yet, or because the hoped-for income, sales, and opportunities that a network can provide hasn’t shown up the way you expected them to. It’s also a book for those looking to create a self-publishing team they can work with and rely on now, and in the future.

This book will help you create a networking practice that works for you—one that incorporates your goals, your communication style, the activities you enjoy, and the tools and resources that are available to you today. If you intend to be profitable and make a living off your writing, then organizing your thoughts and goals as a writer will help you achieve that success much faster. You can still be wildly creative and efficient and productive at the same time.
