Review of Bonds of Blood & Spirit: Reclamations by Deb Dorchak

by Chantelle Atkins

Highly recommended, energetic and vibrant shape-shifting fantasy series, written by two authors with a very obvious love for their characters and story. You will need to have read the first books to get to grips with this one, but this is a series worth diving into. Diego’s pack are forced to deal with evil Senator Flynn in this installment, after kidnapping his daughter Selene in book two. This book is very much Selene’s story, and we learn much more about the shape shifting cats and their Pride and legacy. The book ends on an explosive note, with Regina’s past coming back to haunt her and teasing us into wanting to read Book Four. Anyone who enjoys shape shifters, vampires, and character driven fantasy, will love this steamy series.

Review of Elkmont by Joey Ledford

by Steve Wetherell

Joey Ledford’s writing is generally strong, and presents character and dialogue with a comfortable ease. There are a couple of first person accounts written in the book that really play to these strengths, and really stand out as quality writing. These forays into historical fiction were compelling, and I found myself wishing for more of them.

Writing to Market- Should You?

by Steve Wetherell

It’s just pop music, man, and It’s exactly as cyclical and cynical as any other medium or art. First you get the innovators, then the establishers, then the imitators. Then something else comes along and the whole dance starts again.
