Hi ! Everyone,
Append below please find the information of the author ; her nobels and our recent Q + A with the above mentioned Author.
Janice Tuzo is the author of the books below.
1. Whispers of no Escape
2. Hidden Treasures
Q & A portion:
James: When did you begin to write?
Janice : I began to write in 2006, shortly after my divorce. It was a very therapeutic process that produced two children’s books and now two novels. I had always enjoyed writing stories in college and I guess it just stuck with me.
James : Where you normally do your writing?
Janice: I find in the evening I do most of my writing but often find myself jotting down notes or ideas throughout the day as well.
James : What made you choose this genre and the title of your book?
Janice: I have always enjoyed the Highlander series and Buffy the Vampire. The story just seemed to go in that direction. I chose the title for the relic hunting aspect in the book and the life changing secrets she uncovers.
James: Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?
Janice: I find inspiration for my stories from other authors or TV shows I enjoy to watch.
James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?
Janice: Hidden Treasures is the second novel, following Whispers of no Escape. These stories bring legend of Highlanders to the present day while being fictional and allowing a little broadening into other areas.
James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?
Janice: The stories are fictional but a person’s knowledge or experiences do tend to seep into the story. The novels could be said to be somewhat sexually intense but please keep in mind it is fiction of an overactive imagination.
James: When do you plan to publish your book 2.
Janice: Book three should be ready in December.
James : How many volume of books for the above series, if applicable ?
Janice: The book I am writing now should be the last in this series.
Thank again Janice Tuzo for joining us today. Let us wish her Success.
Please get hold of the nobel should it be your cup of tea. Enjoy reading and share with us your findings. Thank you in advance.

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR - KERRY ROCKWOOD WHITE
INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR - KERRY ROCKWOOD WHITE
It is a great pleasure to have Kerry Rockwood White "Much Ado About Russian" review today. A very warm welcome, Kerry and thanks Kerry for giving us the chance to get to know you more and also for allowing us a glimpse of the world that you have created inside your writing. Thank you very much. Let her walk through her profile and book, as appended below, before we kick off the Q + A session.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR -Kerry Rockwood White
Kerry Rockwood White is the author of the book below.
AVAILABLE ON KINDLE NOW!
Do you love Vampire Fiction? Are you hungry for a new series to sink your teeth into?
It is now available in Kindle and Nook . The paperback is now available HERE.
The Fair Hero Series is a new series of vampire fiction that debuts with Much Ado About Russian, a thrilling combination of mystery, fantasy, romance and humor. You'll love Hero Fletcher, a sassy and sarcastic heroine who discovers the tall dark handsome stranger she has just met is even stranger than she imagined!
Q&A portion:
James: When did you begin to write?
Kerry : I've written off and on most of my life. When I was a young girl in school I would often ask if I could write my own story rather than do a book report.
James : What made you choose this genre and the title of your book?
Kerry: Frankly, one day my husband and I were making jokes about something to do with vampire stories or movies. I don't recall what it was exactly. Something had just struck us funny. I made a comment about a "Women's Guide to Dating Vampires". The seed was planted and after that the idea of creating my own vampire story started to grow.
Kerry:
As for the title, the main character is named Hero Fletcher. Her father, and English Lit professor, named her Hero after Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. And the mystery in this book revolves around an antique Russian snuff box. Hence, Much Ado About Russian.
James: Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?
Kerry: Some of the inspiration comes from my own life. I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago, and in the book, Hero has also lost her mother to cancer. Much of the inspiration just comes from things that interest me or that I believe people would find interesting. I like pop culture and you'll find a lot of pop culture references in the book. Hero and I are very similar in that regard.
James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?
Kerry: Hmm, what to say without giving too much away? :) Well, no sparkling vampires. (not that there's anything wrong with that) The first book has vampires, obviously, shape shifters and faeries. Other supernatural characters will appear as the series goes on. The supernatural world is all striving to solve an ancient puzzle. The Russian snuff box that is central to the plot of the first book is a piece of that puzzle. Each book will focus on the mystery as well as the relationship between the main characters, Hero and Kin.
They are light-hearted, funny and quick-paced. Hero has a great "voice". I love the way she communicates with the reader. I believe readers will indentify easily with her and enjoy her sarcasm and humor. As for the vampire angle, I believe I've added a few tweaks to the standard/modern take on the vampire lore.
James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?
Kerry: The faeries. The source of their magic. I may have very special plans for them in the future :)
James: When do you plan to publish your book 2.
Kerry: I hope to have it out by December.
James : How many volume of books for the above series ?
Kerry: I don't have a set number planned. Hopefully, if people enjoy it, it will be an ongoing series.
Thank again Kerry Rockwood White for joining us today. Let us wish her a fulfilling day.

INTERVIEW WITH JASON JACK MILLER - AUTHOR
Hi ! Readers,
It is a great pleasure to have Jason Jack Miller and his book, THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK review today. A very warm welcome, Jason and thanks Jason for giving us the chance to get to know you more and also for allowing us a glimpse of the world that you have created inside your writing. Thank you very much. Let his walk through his profile and book, as appended below, before we kick off the Q + A session.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Jason Jack Miller
I'm a writer who loves to create fiction from my experiences because I thought that was how Hemingway did it. Back in the '90s I worked as a whitewater raft guide, working rivers in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Ten years-worth of adventure and mishaps transitioned to paper easily enough. Most of my recent novel comes from my years playing in a band and making music. Breaking strings, trying to get club owners to pay up, playing shows hopped up on cough syrup with a fever of 101--you can't make stuff like that up.
Travel has been the biggest influence on my writing though. Nothing helps a writer like a change of scenery and perspective. I had to learn to become a better traveler, knowing when to interact and observe. My wife and I have had some amazing experiences that haven't made it onto the page yet, but will.
Jason Miller is the author of the book below.
THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK
Q & A portion:
James: When did you begin to write?
Jason : In 1998 I married my wife and moved to Florida. Being homesick and missing the mountains and rivers inspired me to start putting stuff on paper for fear I'd forget everything. We had a word processing typewriter that my mom got me when I graduated high school. Reliving all those good times on paper made me want to turn them into something bigger, and that's when I realized the novel I'd write would have very little to do with all those memories because those memories didn't tell a story.
James : Where do you normally do your writing?
Jason : In the summer I write at our dining room table, window open to crickets and cicadas, small pot of green tea right next to me. But in the winter I can't write at home. I need to get out of the house after being at the day job, so we head up to Panera and put in long hours drinking their coffee. My wife can write anywhere, and I'm a little jealous of that. I need stability and familiarity.
James : What made you choose this genre and the title of your book?
Jason: Music is one of my biggest passions, and though it was a theme in my last novel, I decided I needed to put it front and center. Rock and punk, in my humble opinion, haven't been fictionalized nearly enough. I've always believed there was enough material for a million great stories in that mini-verse, but for some reason they don't get written.
The title actually came at the suggestion of an agent, who thought my original title--THE SAD BALLAD OF PRESTON BLACK--was too sad and too revealing. After I changed it and resubmitted she promptly rejected me. Best thing an agent's ever done for me, by the way. So THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK comes as the result of that brief interaction.
James: Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?
Jason : My stories come from my travels and experiences. Something new, either a person or idea, gets embedded in me like a virus and I know I'm going to work them into a novel somehow. THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK, and the novel I wrote just before, HELLBENDER, are the result of a few weekends with one man at a workshop on Spruce Knob way down in West Virginia. Gerald Milnes is the Coordinator of Folklife Programs at the Augusta Heritage Center at Davis and Elkins University. He talked about Appalachian music and culture, blowing my mind with new concepts about music and superstition that sent me down a path that I have yet to deviate from.
James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?
Jason : Some of my favorite authors are guys who walk the thin line between reality and magic--Marquez, Carlos Zafon, Neil Gaiman and Sherman Alexie, to name a few. As a kid I always liked fantasy and science fiction--I had Star Wars bed sheets. But the idea that the fantastical events could never happen in this world to real people never sat well with me.
Maybe a part of me believes that magical or unreal things can happen to real people in this world who open themselves to the possibility. We've all seen things our rational brains can't explain. I don't know if that's magic or not, but I'm open to the possibility, and I like to write stories about people opening themselves to those possibilities.
James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?
Jason : Place plays an important role in my stories. Sometimes setting is overlooked in novels because it requires more attention to detail than plot. But when a writer gets a setting wrong readers notice. I always loved stories that made you feel like you've been someplace, and I hope I've done that with mine.
James: When do you plan to publish your book?
Jason: An eBook version of THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK is available on Amazon , Barnes and Noble, the Apple iBook store and Smashwords right now. A trade paperback will be available within the next few weeks, by early July at the latest. Check http://jasonjackmiller.blogspot.com for updates.
James : How many volumes of books for the above series, if applicable?
Jason : Two more volumes of this series, UNDER THE RAINBOW and HELLBENDER should be available by the end of the year.
Thank again Jason Jack Miller for joining us today. Let us wish him Success.
Thanks for your precious time and revert to us your feedback after you read the above book. Of course, we love to hear from you.

UNIQUE AUTHOR WITH SUPER SKILL
UNIQUE AUTHOR WITH SUPER SKILL
Very happy day to you,
Today, I am going to introduce an unique author who live is rich in experience, which made him lacks nothing. It is an honor for me to brief you on some of his unique experiences, which include growing up with a schizophrenic mother, having six brothers and sisters (of which he is the middle-younger child), a perfectionist father, an evil step-mother, a college life to rival Tucker Max, and working for politicians on the Presidential as well as local stage. He has been, at times, a devout Catholic, a closet atheist, and an honorary member of the Jewish tribe. And this guy is none other than Nicholas Denmon.
His latest novel "For Nothing" has received ten reviews, at the time of writing and all have been 5 Stars. Wow! I am certain that you intend to know how he did it, so am I. I guess the guy who had received English study at the University of Florida, must have spent sufficient time in perfecting the art. No wonder he can win every heart of its readers. No surprise that the talent he possess in story telling is his trade mark. This guy shines even as a child, and he started shining from the moment he could talk. It is really marvelous to have him here.
Nick's love of art knows little in the way of limitations, as he loves unique paintings, music, acting, film, and of course writing. You can see vividly that the passion he possess, and his inert skills put him far beyond accomplishing true master piece of fine art that is worth reading. The title of his book, For Nothing, truly contradicts with the book which is full of emotions and excitements from the beginning to the end and made every reader glues to the book until the finishing line. A true magical writing every writer is looking for.
You should grab hold of this book if thriller genre is your taste and don't take my word for it. Read it yourself and make your own assessment and put forward your feedback in the comment provided below.
Before I end this post, please take a quick look at the summary of the above book below to give you some excitement.
Book Summary:
Undercover cop Alex Vaughn goes deeper than ever into the organized crime family of Buffalo, NY. Motivated by justice and revenge, he seeks out the assassin that laid his friend Jack low.
Professional killer Rafael Rontego traverses the deadly politics of Buffalo’s mafia underbelly. In a city whose winter can be just as deadly as those wielding power, Rontego tries to stay ahead of the game.
Their two worlds collide in this epic thriller that takes the reader on a search for self, justice, and truth.

No surprise that the talent he possess in story telling is his trade mark. This guy shines even as a child, and he started shining from the moment he could talk. It is really marvelous to have him here.
Nick's love of art knows little in the way of limitations, as he loves unique paintings, music, acting, film, and of course writing. You can see vividly that the passion he possess, and his inert skills put him far beyond accomplishing true master piece of fine art that is worth reading. The title of his book, For Nothing, truly contradicts with the book which is full of emotions and excitements from the beginning to the end and made every reader glues to the book until the finishing line. A true magical writing every writer is looking for.
You should grab hold of this book if thriller genre is your taste and don't take my word for it. Read it yourself and make your own assessment and put forward your feedback in the comment provided below.

INTERVIEW WITH LENA HILLBRAND
Hi ! Readers,
It is a great pleasure to have Lena Hillbrand and her book, THE SUPERIORS review today. A very warm welcome, Lena and thanks Lena for giving us the chance to get to know you more and also for allowing us a glimpse of the world that you have created inside your writing. Thank you very much. Let her walk through her profile and book, as appended below, before we kick off the Q + A session.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR -Lena Hillbrand
Lena Hillbrand is the author of the book below.
The Superiors
The Superiors, Book One in The Superiors series
Q&A portion:
James: When did you begin to write?
Lena : I've always written, or at least as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I'd make up stories and write them in little journals.
James : What made you choose this genre and the title of your book?
Lena: I'd read a few vampire books, and I kept wondering why these intelligent, powerful, nearly invincible creatures would hide in the dark instead of trying to overpower the much weaker human race. I started talking about it with my family, and got so involved in thinking about it that I decided to write it down. The first book in the series, The Superiors, introduces the world and the race. The title was an easy pick for me. Superiors is the name the vampires have given themselves, as they consider themselves superior to all else on earth.
James: Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?
Lena : Everywhere. In classrooms, restaurants, outside. Of course other books have inspired me to write when I see a really beautiful passage that makes me want to write. And mostly my life, my encounters, experiences, and surroundings, all inspire my writing.
James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?
Lena : The Superiors series is my only adult series. Most of the books I've written are young adult, but the content of The Superiors got too adult along the way, so I changed it. I wanted to be able to put in anything I wanted, even disturbing parts, to give a true picture of the world. I thought if humans were kept as slaves or livestock, some things would be bleak, depressing, and even horrifying. So the book is a bit dark. It follows the journey of one Superior, Draven Castle, as he begins to rediscover his humanity with the help of a human runaway he captures one night.
James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?
Lena : The Superiors are advanced from humans, but they aren't the traditional pop-culture vampires with super powers and unbelievable beauty. They are as 'realistic' as I could make them, considering they are supernatural beings! Also, the book takes place 200 years in the future, once the takeover has already happened and Superiors are well established as rulers of humanity. The takeover is left mostly to the reader's imagination.
The character's aren't always completely self-aware, so at times you'll have unreliable narrators. There are a hundred other little devices I used to amuse myself, but I'll let people find them if they want to read into it that deeply. Or they can just enjoy the surface level story! There's lots going on.
James: When do you plan to publish your book 2.
Lena : I am in the process of editing book 2. It takes me much longer to edit and polish a piece than to write it the first time around. I want things to be as tight and consistent as they are in the first book, and that takes a while. I hope to have book 2 out sometime this summer.
James : How many volume of books for the above series ?
Lena : There are seven books in The Superiors series. I hope people enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. And thanks for the great interview, James!
Thank again Lena Hillbrand for joining us today. Let us wish her a fulfilling day.

ROAD TO BEAUTIFUL ; A JOURNEY OF HOPE DETAILING HIS JOURNEY OF BATTLING THE DISEASE
Dear Reader,
A very warm welcome to you here.
It is of great pleasure for me to share this book, ROAD TO BEAUTIFUL : A JOURNEY OF HOPE DETAILING HIS JOURNEY OF BATTLING THE DISEASE, if somehow you have missed the news.
This book chronicles a man, none other than Gerard Khaw's battle with cancer. He, a Penangite, survived the ordeal and journalised his journey into this book. He still survives till today despite he was told by doctors five years ago that he only had 10% chance of surviving nose cancer. Subsequently, doctors removed 60% of his liver that had tumours, after the cancer cells spread to his liver there years later.
It was amazingly awesome for him to pursue an off-campus Masters in Business Administration programme from the University of South Australia in 2009 and completed it in March this year while going through cancer treatment. Here, I am very certain that you too like to find out his secret of success.
The author, in his 40s, confessed that he managed to act against all the odds through the grace of God. He too admitted that he received full support from his wife Gloria, his two children Isabelle, 10, Jeanelle, 9, and friends during the launch of his book at Canton Square on last Sunday.
In this connection, I also like to reattest my testimony to glorify God that His grace is sufficient for us to overcome any and every barrier we encountered in our lives so long as we have faith and not to lose hope, as reaffirmed by the above author. This undeniable truth is not anything new and it has been affirmed by the past, current and future witnesses and is well reaffirmed in the Scriptures.
Another good news is that the above book priced at RM 30 will soon be made available in major bookstores nationwide. As such, it is a very well rewarding book to read, very much more than its cost.
For those who have read this book, you are more than welcome to voice out your feedback so as to inspire others as well. Great thanks to you. Please do not stop here, but do spread this good news to your circle of friends so as to inspire others as well to show your care and love.
Have a blessed day everyday,
James Oh
