Book Review: Raptor Cop

Raptor Cop: The Battle With Willie The WormRaptor Cop: The Battle With Willie The Worm by J. Pedicini
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when a dedicated cop gets splashed with an experimental liquid designed to restore prehistoric cells - RAPTOR COP! Stan must make the most of his situation, and fight the evil Willie the Worm to rescue the brilliant Juanita Parker. Will he find her in time?

This graphic novel origin story is beautifully drawn, although a little light on dialogue in my opinion. Still it is a really easy, fast read and given that I’m desperately trying to get my special needs 9 year old to love reading as much as I do, I believe we will be using this as a reading discussion point ASAP!

FYI - this ebook is FREE on Amazon and B&N right now, so get it while you can!

Contest!

By -
As most of you know, I’m an online contest addict. Sweepstakes, blog contests, promotional giveaways, you name it I enter, as long as I don’t have to pay anything or get spammed. (Note to all you contest junkies – opt out of further communication if you don’t want it! Or at least opt out when you get that first email newsletter.) I don’t do too badly either, I’ve won some nice stuff, although as yet no trips or giant cash prizes, not for lack of trying. But still, I enjoy getting freebies in the mail, even when I know they’re coming. So, when I was approached by CSN Stores about hosting a giveaway for a $40 gift certificate to one of their stores, I decided it was time that I give a little back. So without further adieu, I give you my first blog contest! CSN Stores is a group of online department stores that apparently has EVERYTHING you could possibly want. They have furniture like headboards , dining room sets and cribs, they have home décor, housewares, baby and kid stuff, stuff...

Another CSN Giveaway - $35 GC

By -
So the nice folks at CSN offered to do another giveaway on my blog, this time for a $35 gift certificate. Guess they don't know my readership is somewhat limited huh ;) Anyway, details are below. CSN Stores is an online retail store that has EVERYTHING. Seriously, if you don't believe me go look around. You can find anything from an ottoman coffee table to cookware, strollers to pet supplies. The site offers hassle free returns and many items come with free shipping (although not all, so pay attention to what you're buying if you win the gift certificate!). I personally was drooling over the flooring options - yep they do home improvement too - but you'll understand why if you look at the post below that show pictures of the bottle of BBQ sauce David spilled all over the carpet. Rules for the giveaway: · You must complete Entry #1. If you do not, no other entries will count. · You must leave a separate comment for each entry. · ...

Book Review: Daisy Chain

Daisy Chain by Nancy Morgan My rating: 4 of 5 stars What happens when you challenge yourself to write a story based on the last line of the story you just wrote? What if you kept that up for 10 stories? Author Nancy Morgan has done just that with Daisy Chain. While some of the stories have similar elements, none of the stories are related to each other. Characters come in the form of a woman slowly losing herself, a man mourning the death of his best friend, a gambler who may be willing to part with her youth, a middle aged woman desperate for a baby, and woman recovering from a brain injury, among others. I love academic challenges like this, and I like them even better when they are good enough to publish, and Morgan’s certainly is. While she has a distinct writing style, all of the stories are independent and hold their own as short stories - although I think some could easily be turned into novellas or even full novels. There is a spiritual element to many, and I like the un...
