SUBMISSION GUIDELINE SUCCESS

Do your homework to cut down on rejections on your part. You should have gone through Writer's Market 2009, Jeff Herman's guide to book publishers, editors and agents, Preditors & Editors, Agent Query. Very important, always match the correct genre. It would would be a hugh mistake to send a romance to an agent/pubshier that only handles mysteries, but you won't believe how often this happens. Now the fun part let's all play are favorite childhood game, Simon Says, remember if you don't do w… Continue

Another Great Review for The Trojan Project

Another Great Review for The Trojan Project. This one is from Donald Drake, author of The Coming of The One

This story kept me on the edge of my chair from page one.
Masterfully written, Eileen Thornton has captured the essence of events that are plausible and have a very real possibility of coming about in our world today.
This a very thrilling story that draws the reader in and holds them captive until the very climax of the book.
I have not read much of the Suspense/Thriller genre, however,… Continue

Harry Potter; A whole new journey begins

Ok - we can probably all agree that the Harry Potter franchise has put magic back on the map both in cinemas and book stores. The new film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is set to make the franchise 'adult'. Make sure you check out my post for more information - whether you are a Potter fan or not - I am sure that you will enjoy the next film and of cousre the book!
