Just recently, thanks to Twitter, I discovered the concept of book trailers. If you think about it, the idea of book trailers is pretty incongruous: using video trailers that you watch to promote books that you read. It’s like MTV for the literati. But they are really ubiquitous anymore. And like videos for music, sometimes, [...] Three Days to Dead It was one of those strange things: I saw this ad for Kelly Meding’s Three Days to Dead and I swear my spidey-sense started tingling. I just knew that this book was going to be great and that she was going to be an author who was really going to go places. Then [...] March 7 to March 13 is Read an e-book week.

In The Demon Hunters, Tiff Banks has made some major changes in her life, including starting a new detective agency with her partner, Royal. But as [...] I accidentally found a sample chapter of this book by Linda Welch on the Internet. Just a couple of paragraphs in, I was so hooked, I picked up my Kindle and downloaded it. Yeah, it’s that good. The protagonist, Tiff, is a character who is easy to relate to. She has a job that doesn’t allow her to be herself. She [...] Heat Wave This book is a tie-in to the ABC television series Castle. The supposed “author” of this book is the lead character in the series, a writer. Interestingly, the book itself is playing a role in this season’s episodes. First, let me start by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the TV series. I [...] |
