Hi everyone my name is Tony Bertot and I am the author of The Heart of an Assassin and The Birth of an Assassin.

I would like to take this opportunity to address a question I am constantly being asked by both friends and family;

"How do I keep track of all of the characters?"…

Question: if you follow this blog do you think I have read all of this author’s work? The correct answer is yes, yes, and yes again. What can I say; his incredible style and substance grew on me. I was a bit skeptical

at first because of the types of novels he wrote, the shocking, twisted type of

thing. He said maybe it isn’t my speed, but give one of his digital shorts a

go. I read Road Markers, loved it. Then I tried The Night Walk Men & On…

I am consistently amazed at the quality of work that I am finding in the area of Self-Published authors. I think that is why this posting day has become so popular with our readers. And if I haven’t said it recently,

thanks for being a reader of this blog. It is nice to know I am not just

putting this stuff out there in a vacuum; there are some very nice people out

there. That being said here is today’s novel, Justice Rules. It is a thriller…

Welcome to what is becoming one of our most followed posting days, Digital short Saturday. I enjoy reading the digital shorts so much; it is a nice break in the weekly reading schedule. This week I found a gem and I wanted to highlight this one. The

Breaker Series is something that I stumbled onto this week on Smashwords. It

was released on Sunday and already this bad boy is making noise and waves on

many of their lists. This is one of the highest rated…

Ah treacherous women, who would have thunk. Check this out from the inside flap of the graphic novel:’What does treachery look like? Everyone knows treachery is defined as someone doing you wrong when they ought

not be. So now you want to know how to sopt it? Well then, welcome to Giead…an’

take your pick of sights to see.

Follow Steven Deschain and his ka-tet of Gilead’s protectors as they ride out to the hinterlands to find…

I have decided to make today an all Stephen King graphic novel day. After this thriller, I will post later on The Dark Tower /Treachery. I want to right off the bat thank all of you for messages telling me I should

start to read King’s full length novels .I will start to do that in 2011. Right

now I want to run through the graphic novels and then I will dive into that no

problem, so thanks for kind words and encouragement.

The…

To my great surprise this one was a scorcher; I am going to say that right off the bat. I want to get right to the synopsis so I can give my thoughts on this afterwards; I think it will make more sense that way.

“Defying family and social pressure, Nettie Brady bucks 1920s convention with her dream of becoming a rodeo star. That means competing with men, and cowgirls who ride the rodeo circuit are considered loose women.

HONORING THOSE WHO SERVE

By Bob Hamer

Author of ENEMIES AMONG US and THE LAST UNDERCOVER

Bobhamer.net

I admit to being a country and western fan. As an author who pens 300-plus page books I admire writers who can tell their story in a two or three minute song. For James Otto’s latest CD,…

I want to thank everyone for such a nice response to our first official romance day; I was stunned. Let’s get right to this novel as it’s something that really found a place in my mind and heart very quickly. I guess

having a wife and seven daughters rubbed off on me a little and I was able to

channel my feminine side during this read. I really am enjoying the historical

romance category. I am going to try others, but right now I am grooving on this

for…

I have been reading much more sci-fi and paranormal then I usually do, I have no idea why. That being said, I thought I would just start to get into a groove and sit back and enjoy the reading. I hit a couple winners

for this week. Today I am featuring Christopher Payne and his debut The Gargoyle Prophecies. Debuts are a

mixed grab bag; this one sits near the top. The plotline is different from

anything I have read or seen about gargoyles. He…

The sci-fi, paranormal parade continues with another barnburner that is a series. Trust me, when you read this you will be glad it is a series, there is so much info, backstory, and plotline crammed into this

installment, reading the next two is a must. The plotline is complex, the

reading enjoyable and fun; there are just so many facets and elements to it.

Without further ado, here is the synopsis of the novel:

“ An explosion…

Things are starting to heat up as we get to see some big names getting their novels out there for the coming holiday season. Here they are in no special order:

-Jeff Kinney/Diary of a Wimpy Kid- The Ugly Truth #5

-George W. Bush/ Decision Points

-Judith Durant/Sock Yarn One –Skein Wonders

-David Baldacci/Hells Corner…

Right off the bat, this doesn’t read like a freshman effort at all. Death Notice is an excellent novel and I am really looking forward to the follow up, if there is one. Todd Ritter has put together a fun, compelling

read that contains all the right elements to make just about anyone that enjoys

this genre of novel happy. Have I piqued your interest at all? Hopefully. Here

is a look at what to expect once this novel grabs you and pulls your inside:…

I am going to have to split some hairs on this one. The title Flashes from the Other World is for a grouping of short stories by Julie Ann Weinstein; it is not just one story. The way I have justified using it

today instead of on Digital short Saturday (where it could also fit), is that

if you get the e-version of the book you

can read as just that, a bunch of digital shorts. This is a very eclectic grouping

of stories, but I think that for the…

We are going with a double shot of fun with two digital short posts today. The first one is The Kindly Stop Café brought to us by Stone House Ink. The other digital short we have is a self-published work by Julie

Ann Weinstein. I need to stay focused here. Mark Maciejewski has put together a

very compact, concise, and moving narrative in The Kindly Stop Café. It really

hits the mark and then some. To be honest with you, I am still thinking about

it. I…

Long title, I know, sorry. Have you seen the movie? Read the novel series? Read this graphic novel? I have done two out three, the movie and the graphic novel. They are not the same, but the spirit of the character and

some of the circumstances are similar. Here is the inside of the jacket to the

graphic novel to explain a bit better: “The first books in the blockbuster

best-selling series like you have never seen it before. Mythological monsters

and…

I grabbed this graphic novel because of the cover and the catch phrase on the cover that said” What if you had a magical superpower and it hated your guts?” I just had to

read it. The read was fun, funny, unpredictable, and totally a farce. This was

a good time; you should give this graphic novel a try. The whole story revolves

around a loser named Matt Blurdy, an overweight, 30…

This author has over 2 million copies in print and I haven’t read one of them. The novels that I have missed to date are: The Last Jihad, The Last Days, The Ezekiel Option, The Copper Scroll, Epicenter, and Inside the

Revolution. I will back track eventually but for now I had to stay focused on

The Twelfth Imam. The novel has so many plots and sub plots one need’s a score

card; it is all good stuff though.

Here is the synopsis…

Delia Parr writes historical romance. Her previous novel, Hearts Awakening, was a Romantic Times Top Pick. I am sure that this novel will find its way there also. I am relatively new at reading this type of novel and it was fun; a nice break from the other stuff I usually read.

Let me set this up by starting with the synopsis from the back page: ”Life

changes drastically for Ruth Livingstone the day her father puts a young child in

her arms…

The work keeps piling up and I continue to discover authors who are new to me. After reading their novels I itch to read their back catalog and enjoy all that I can with a new found friend. Dennis Lehane has done that

for me with his two excellent characters Patrick and Angie. Just so I am

keeping the facts straight here is a list of his other novels that I was

clueless on except one, Shutter Island: A Drink Before the War, Darkness, Take

My Hand,…
