Thank you to the following authors:

Justin Bienvenue

The Macabre Masterpiece Poems of Horror and Gore by Justin Bienvenue
The Macabre Masterpiece: Poems of Horror and Gore

From a 5-star review on Justin's book:

"I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of poetry, but it seemed interesting and I wanted to broaden my horizons. I love horror, so I gave this book a chance.

I felt the author, Justin Bienvenue, did an excellent job in presenting his work. This book is filled with poems of horror, and I quite enjoyed them. They were quick to read, quite vivid, and the author captured me with his work. I'm now interested in reading more poetry, and of course more work from this author. Five stars!!!"

Colin Skinner

Beyond The Setting Sun by Colin Skinner

Nicole Yanski

Midnight Blood by Nicole Yanski
Midnight Blood

Rating: 3.67 stars

A Midnight Blood review:
"I was lucky enought to win a free copy of this ebook. Even if I had not won it, I would definitely have bought it. I am very much looking forward to the next book! Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance. "


Kerry Dwyer

Ramblings in Ireland by Kerry Dwyer
Ramblings in Ireland

Part of a 4 star review on Kerry's book:

"The word ramblings in the abstract can connote a pejorative, which would be anything but the case with Dwyer’s story, for her writing is endearing and intelligent with a rare gifted ability to make the reader laugh, her asides had me laughing out loud."


David Felder

CHASM by David Felder
CHASM

Amazon Review: "I really enjoyed this book. Reading about living in space for months under the circumstances written was fascinating. One would wonder whether this could really be acomplished by a human being. The subplot regarding the main character's family was exciting and kept me reading. I found the thoughts of the author on the subject of life and death interesting as well. I would recommend this book."


Rick Mallery

Dreams of the Moon Bear by Rick Mallery
Dreams of the Moon Bear

Rating - Five stars


Karen and Kathy

Joyce Shaughnessy

A Healing Place by Joyce Shaughnessy

Rating: 4.29 stars


Jane Prowse

The Revenge of Praying Mantis (Hattori Hachi, #1) by Jane Prowse
The Revenge of Praying Mantis

From a five star review:

"I loved the first book in this series from Jane Prowse and couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy of this, the sequel. Is it as good as the first book though? Definitely not...... in my opinion it is even better!"


Cary Neeper

A Place Beyond Man The Archives of Varok by Cary Neeper
A Place Beyond Man: The Archives of Varok

From a five star review on Cary's book:

"Won this through Goodreads' First Reads Program. I really liked this book. It was kind of a Star Trek-like book, kind of a criticism of the human's impact on the world. I finished it thinking about my personal effect on the planet. It's a very deep, impactful book. I'd recommend it to anyone! :)"


Margaret Lynette Sharp

A Taste of Life and Love in Australia by Margaret Lynette Sharp

Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth by Alexandar Tomov
Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth

From a 4 star review for Unexpected Tales:
"Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth is an anthology with ups and downs, however for me, the ups far outweigh the downs and I can recommend it with a clear conscience, especially as I know you may love the very stories I disliked. That's what subjective opinions are all about. Read the anthology and decide for yourself. Highly recommended."


Dario Giardi

Adudan by Dario Giardi
Adudan

Rating: 5 Stars


Leonard Seet

Meditation on Space-Time by Leonard Seet
Meditation on Space-Time

From a 5 star review:

"The writing is simply breath-taking: Seet gives you credit for being a thinking person, a serious reader, a person of substance and high intelligence. As a Bostonian I revelled in the finely wrought stagecraft of the settings there. This literary novel is layered so that it can be enjoyed by those who simply want a good story and yet it satisfies those who want a book written poetically with substance and a style that is grown-up and intellectualy complex enough to open new intellectual avenues. If you prefer intelligently crafted novels, then do yourself a favor and by all means read this unforgetable novel by Leonard Seet: the writing is to die for."

Marissa Marchan | 11 comments Since I just recently published my book, A Boy Named Ray, I am just beginning to learn the amazing world we all know as the internet. It took me a while to set up my own web page (www.aboynamedray.com) and I found out I have to start blogging as well to get noticed (blog: www.marissamarchanblog.wordpress.com). Whew! For someone like me who only check the news, the weather and some hollywood gossips, the struggle continues. But I must say that this is so exciting. I don't have a lot of friends yet, but as soon as I have, I will invite them to join our group. Thank you again. I feel like this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Take care always.
