Good Thursday all
Good Thursday all today we are going to review a novella by a new author to me .Check out PRINTED IN BLOOD a Marybeth Pearson mystery . by CS Patra
BOOK BLURB
The ladies of Portman's Creamery are back with their latest case that hits close to home for most of them. When a popular student and writer of the school paper is found stabbed to death, everyone is baffled. He wasn't known to have any enemies and it doesn't seem like anyone noticed anything suspicious. However, upon digging deeper into this case, the ladies soon discover that perhaps he made more enemies than it appears. Was it one of them? Or is there more to this case than appears?
MY REVIEW
Welcome to a small college town where the star reporter for the college paper is murdered Stabbed to death and no one knows why . Everyone loved him and wondered why he was murdered . Will the girls be able to find out who killed this sweet guy and put the killer in jail .
This is the first book I have read by this author and I enjoyed it . The characters were well written and I like Marybeth she is like the girl you want to have as your best friend . She is kind of quirky with a can do attitude . There are a lot of characters to mention . But they are all well written . Ther all play a part in the story line and help Marybeth out .
this was a quick read for me I finished it in an evening . I liked the story and the way the author was telling it . The beginning to me was just a little slow , I felt that it kind of dragged until after the funeral . Then it really took off with the investigation kicking into high gear. You do figure out who did it about half way through but that doesn't stop you from reading . You want Marybeth and the gang to figure it out . This book kind of reminded me in a way of the Scooby gang with out the dog . Over all I really enjoyed this book and I am going to read more from this author . So if you want a fun book to read check it out you wont be disappointed .

GOOD TUESDAY ALL
Good Tuesday all today is my last day of interviewing victims for the NOVEMBER TO DISMEMBER over at READING ZOMBIE on facebook . Today our victim is Suzanne Sussex and her SAFE ZONE books
Good morning Suzanne thank you for joining us today
Thank you for having me
Tell us a little about yourself
I live in the UK, in Wales but right on the border to England with my boyfriend and slightly neurotic cat. I've worked full time for the same company for over 20 years. When I'm not working or writing I love being outdoors, preferably in the hills. Over the last couple of years I've done a number of walking events, including walking 106km around an island in one day.
Tell us about your books
I have two books published at the moment with a third in progress. They are a trilogy called Safe Zone. The first is Safe Zone: The Greater Good and tells the events following a zombie virus outbreak in the U.K. The second is Safe Zone: The Descent, which is set twenty years after the first book.
How do you select the names for your characters
It varies, sometimes they just name themselves, which sounds odd, but the name just pops right on to the page. Others I've ended up using baby naming books to get inspiration.
Do you hide secrets in your books that only a few people will know and understand
The antagonist in the second book actually makes a very brief appearance in the first. I'm not sure how many people have spotted that. There is also quite a lot of myself in Chloe, the main character from the first book. Only people that know me would understand which bits are more me or intentionally the opposite of me. For example Chloe hated climbing Snowdonia (highest mountain in Wales) whereas I love the whole mountain range.
As a child did you have a favourite book
If you didn't write what would you be doing
What is your favourite part of the writing and publishing process and the least favourite thing
My least favourite part is coming up with the title. Firstly because there are millions of books out there so originality can be a challenge, but also because of the pressure of getting the right title. The cover and the title are what readers see first. My cover artist Claire is incredible and can translate my ideas into amazing covers, but the title is all on me.
if you could do one thing differently as a child or tee to make you a better writer what would it be
Write! I used to start the odd story as a teenager but I never committed to actually finishing any of them.
Do you read reviews on your books and what do you do when you have a bad review
I read every review (and over analyse every word.) I've not actually had a bad review (yet) although I've had a few low ratings on Goodreads, I'd like to think that if the criticism is something I can learn from then I'll take it on board as in future work. If it just along the lines of not liking zombies or the lack of guns in the books, then I guess I'll just shrug my shoulders and move on with my life.
When you were writing Safe Zone how much research did you do
I researched as I went rather than plot out the book. I suspect my google search history is a bit questionable.
Do you believe in writers block
NOW FOR SOME FUN AND FAST QUESTIONS
COFFE TEA OR OTHER
Coffee. I am addicted to it
DO YOU GOOGLE YOURSELF
I have a couple of times but I don't get many results
IF YOU HAD A SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE
I'd be able to slow down time so that I could get more done in a day
Big Mac. I never have anything else from McDonalds.
Last but not least
What would you tell any aspiring writer out there .

GOOD MONDAY EVERYONE
Good Monday all as NOVEMBER TO DISMEMBER slowly winds down over at Reading Zombie . We have a new victim to interview TJ Weeks .
Hi TJ thanks for stopping by today
Thanks for having me
Tell us about yourself
I was in the Army for eight years. I was a vocalist in a band. I started writing lyrics for music at a very young age which led me to writing poetry and then to learning that I loved to write in general. I pushed myself to write Deadly Mountain and realized that my story telling ability was actually okay. I love to hang out with friends and family and cookout and have a serious collection of movies.
Tell us about your books
I started out writing mystery/psychological suspense, which was Deadly Mountain and the sequel Allison's Revenge which are now in one book called Obsessed With The Kill. I moved on from there and wrote a little bit of a paranormal/horror which is now Valley Drift. I wrote The Horror Squad which is apocalyptic actually to cure some writers block. I really never planned on publishing it out and once I started writing, I enjoyed it and went ahead and published it. In between, I was challenged to a romance short story and dabbled in the beginner reader genre. I have recently put out a book for 8 years old and up called Building A Monster.
When you sit down do you have any rituals
I throw on some headphones and listen to music. Sometimes it is heavy metal sometimes it is country or pop. Just depends on my mood that day.
When you write your characters is there any parts of yourself in them
I am actually a character in The Horror Squad, so in that aspect yes. As for other books, I visualize what I want the character to be like and try and put myself in there shoes.
Do you hid any secrets in your books that only a few people would know about
There is a few secrets here and there. Most of my books are set in Texas because that is where I have lived most of my life. There are a few tidbits here and there like Allison Dane in Obsessed With The Kill, I based off of my wife,
Do you read reviews and what do you do when you get a bad review
I do read the reviews and look at bad reviews as constructive criticism. I don't take them personally, but take them into consideration.
What aspect of the writing / publishing journey do you like and what parts do you dislike
I love the writing aspect and creating a story that people will enjoy. I also like doing the art for my covers, however I hate having to take the time to get everything precise for publish ready.
How do you handle writing characters of the opposite sex
I just try and put myself in their shoes. If I get stuck, I try to bounce some ideas off of my wife or ask her opinion.
If there was one thin you could do differently as a child or teenager to make you a better writer what would it be .
I would have started taking writing seriously at an earlier age and putting my name out there more.
Do you believe in writers block
I do. I get it quite often and have a tendency to go on about doing other things that have no involvement in writing to see if I can grasp some ideas on what I need to write.
NOW FOR SOME QUESTIONS
COFFEE TEA OR OTHER
Coffee in the mornings and Tea if I am not drinking a cold beer
Do you google yourself
No, but my wife does and tells me all about it.
if you had a super power what would it be
I would love to read people's minds.
favourite junk food
I absolutely love Reese's sticks.
all time favourite author and book
I am a huge Nancy Roe fan and her book Secrets Can Be Deadly. I have recently become a fan of Mick Franklin and his book Nightmare Man. There are so many other Indie Authors I have read that I have become a fan of as well.
last but not least
What would you tell any aspiring young authors out there
I would tell them to keep writing. Don't stop over a bad review, or someone telling them that they are not good enough to write. If your passion is to write, then write. I always tell any aspiring authors to hit me up if they have any questions as well. It is always good to have someone to ask questions about the writing world and I would be happy to help them out.

Good Sunday Everyone
Well today we have another victim in the NOVEMBER TO DISMEMBER for reading zombie . Thomas Watson and his book VIRAL MISERY.
Welcome Thomas and thank you for stopping by
Thanks for having me
Tell us about
yourself.
I am Thomas A Watson. I’m an
Army veteran, 19 Delta. Tina is my wife and mother of our three children. We
have two granddaughters that we still would like to know, Why grands didn’t
come before kids? We would have just had grands if that was possible. I have
always loved to read, and love what I am doing now. I am not big on social
media, I do get on Facebook sometimes, but normally leave that up to Tina, she
keeps me up to date on what all is going
on. She’s like my newscaster. We recently moved back to the south from Montana.
Oh my! I was reminded in July why I left this humidity. We are looking for a
place in Northern Arkansas/ Southern Missouri to move soon. We have several
conventions lined up in the near future, I think St Louis Missouri is the next
one.
Tell us about your
books:
I just released one I co-authored with my wife Tina. Viral Misery
. It’s been hanging in the top 10 of Amazon’s
medical fiction hot new releases. It’s been in the #1 spot also.
My favorite series--since
I have always loved fantasy is my series
Thanos, Many overlook this one when they see fantasy. Don’t let that
scare you away. It’s action packed. The Bonner Incident this one is about civil asset forfeiture, I
wrote this one with a buddy that is no longer with us, and that alone will
always make this one dear to my heart. Plus it’s something that could and has
actually happened in some ways.
What are you working
on right now?
I have three that I’m working on right now. The third book in Vengeance in Blood series. Picking up on Dark Titan series, and book four in Forgotten
Forbidden America series
Do you hide secrets in
your books that only a few people will know? Oh yes!
Do you have any
writing rituals that you do when you sit down to write?
Not really. Now I do have to be away from
everybody, because the least little thing disturbs me. I listen to a variety of
music while writing, and will play video games prior to a big action scene for
inspiration and to see if some of the things I write could be possible.
How do you pick names
for your characters?
I use a random name generator on most. I have a few
characters, for example Bessetta in Vengeance in Blood, Tina researched that
name so she came up with that one. I have a couple of names that will be in the
next Forgotten Forbidden America, they won a memorial auction for Joyce Stokley
and got to pick a name for that one.
Brandy Yassa and Rob Brumbach I think you will like the characters I
chose for your name or the name you picked.
What is the one thing
about the writing / publishing process do you like and what part do you
dislike?
I’ll be honest, all I have to do is write. Tina takes care of
everything else. I can promise you, without her doing all the publishing
aspects of this, I’d be working 12 hour shifts in an Emergency Department
somewhere.
Some people may not like this answer. I don’t
read negative reviews. I learned after my first book was released I had to stop
reading those reviews. I found myself changing up my writing style to make the
reviewers happy. I do look and see how many reviews I have. Now that don’t mean
for folks to stop writing reviews. Those reviews play an important role in
getting books out there. So write those reviews. I do appreciate them, just
like all of us authors do.
If there was one thing you could change as a child or teen ager to help you become a better writer? What would it be? Well I was an avid reader as a child and teen. A lot of the things I did as a teen and young adult have played a huge role in some of my books. My series Forsaken World, well what can I say….. I had fun as a kid.
Do you believe in writer’s block? I wouldn’t call it writer’s block, but I will say there have been times that I have been disturbed, that it took me a couple of weeks to replay that scene in my head to get it on paper.
NOW FOR SOME FUN
QUESTIONS
COFFE TEA OR OTHER?
Coffee in the morning, a guy has to be regular you know. Diet coke the rest of
the day.
Have you ever googled
yourself? I haven’t in awhile, but not long after Blue
Plague was released someone told me that they
googled my name and found it. So of course I had to go check it out.
If you had a super power
what would it be? Do I have to answer this one? Mind control, just kidding. I’d
like to fly and not in an airplane.
Favorite book and author?
Now that is a tough one because I have a bunch of books I love. The
Belgariad series by David Eddings is one of my favorites. Another I would have
to say is Shogun because I read it once a year.
Last but not least
What would you tell any
aspiring writer out there? Write, write, write. Write it as it plays out in
your head. After you finish then go back and read it. Don’t read it as you
write. You will never get to the end if you write it, read, correct. Just put
it down then go back after you are finished. You may move or delete whole
chapters in a book, and add more. That’s okay, once you’ve got it all down,
just don’t try doing this while you are trying to write it.
Where can people find
you at? In my little writer’s nook. Oh! You mean on here my bad.

Good Saturday all
Good Saturday all today we have another victim in our NOVEMBER TO DISMEMBER take over with reading zombie . Today's victim is David Simpson the author of ZOMBIE ROAD series
Hi David thanks for stopping by today
Thanks for having me
1 Tell us a little about
yourself
I’m just a guy. To put food on the table, I drive a truck
all over the Southeastern states. I got lucky and married up, got a passel of
kids, the youngest is 20, and all of them are doing well. (and FINALLY out of
the house, thank goodness!)
2 Tell us about your
books
I write Zombie books that have fast zombies that
deteriorate over time so you get the best of both worlds… Fast and vicious then
eventually shambling and unrelenting. One of the best reviews I got called it a
thinking man’s zombie book. A lot of research went into the story as well as
the little background things. For instance, I now know, and so does the reader,
what happens to nuclear power plants and missiles in their silo’s when the hand
of man is removed from the constant maintenance they require. The basic premise
of the tale is a man, an Army vet turned truck driver, who is on the other side
of the country when the zombie uprising happens. His main goal is to get back
to his family, to save them if he can, but he is saddled with the responsibility
of saving much more than just his wife and son. An entire nation is balancing
on the knife edge of plummeting into complete chaos or starting to rebuild as
he does what is right, even if it isn’t what is easy.
3 In your books what is
the hardest scenes to write
I had to establish a bad guy. Most of my main characters
are basically good people but there had to be some bad guys, it’s an apocalypse
novel so unless it’s a natural disaster, I needed some antagonists. Some on a
global scale and some on a local scale. There is a scene in the second book
where I introduce the local bad guy and to illustrate just how bad he is, there
are a few scenes of him doing bad guy things. Those were hard to write because
I have no idea what bad guys think. I had to get in his head.
4 What is the one thing
about the writing and or publishing you like and the one thing you don't like
about said writing and publishing
I like the writing, of course. I can sit down with a cup
of coffee in the morning and the next thing I know, dinner is being served. I
lose myself in the fictional world completely. There’s not much about the
publishing aspects I hate. Yet. I’ve only been doing this for less than a year,
I’m sure the minor annoyances will grow until they are major aggravations.
5 What type of research
do you do and how long do you research
They say write about what you know and I know a lot about
trucks, cars, guns and zombies. I’m a vet so all of the military aspects, the
language and in-jokes, come easy. Everything else, I google. Like how long will
a satellite stay in orbit without computers from earth giving them nudges every
once in a while. Or how to transport nuclear fuel rods. Or how far is it from
the Route 49 bridge crossing the Mississippi to the nearest house up river. I
don’t do info dumps or have a bunch or lists or detailed instructions on how to
sew up a wound like some books do. If the information is relevant, it gets
dropped into the conversation naturally, not like an instruction manual.
6 Who is your favourite
author
Poe or King.
7 If you weren't writing
what would you be doing
Working on cars. Muscle, Rods or tuners, I love them all.
8 Is there a little
piece of yourself written into your characters
I suppose it’s inevitable, so yes. The main people in my
books have a similar belief system as I do, although not exactly. God, family,
country attitudes. Someone called it Americana Zompoc.
9 If you had to do one
thing differently as a child to make you a better writer what would it be?
Stay in school, have more than a basic high school
education. That would make me a better writer but would it make me a better
storyteller? Hard to say. If I hadn’t left home at 16, if I would have gone to
college, I would never be able to draw on the experiences I have now. I
probably never would have joined the Army or become a repo man or bounty hunter
or chased a raincloud on a Harley for a week or climbed down three stories of
blue velvet to wipe the vomit from her hair or met a man whose most valuable
possession was a
cobblestone that he had to fight for every day or any number
of other things I’ve done.
10 Do you believe in writers’
block
Not really. If I’m stuck on a particular aspect of how I
want to tell the story, I’ll just skip those chapters and move on the next part
of the story as if the difficult part was already written. It kind of writes
itself then.
NOW FOR SOME RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS
coffee or tea or other
Coffee
Do you google yourself
No but I google my books to see how many pirates sites
they are on.
If you had a superpower
what would it be
Time Travel
Favourite junk food
Ben and Jerry’s Everything but the… Flavor
last but not least I ask
every author this question
What would you say to
any aspiring writer out there?
Write. Join groups. Not writing groups, join zombie
groups. Or Vampire. Or Scottish Romance or whatever it is you are into. If you
can’t write a novel just yet, write a short story and publish it on Amazon.
Sell it for .99. There is a huge learning curve if you want be a successful
writer. Anyone can write and any garbage can be published on Amazon. You have
to be decent enough to rise above the rest. If you don’t know whether you are
any good or not, publish and push it out there and wait for the reviews from strangers.
They usually tell the truth.
Where can we stalk you
at?
Easiest is the David
Simpson Fan Club on Facebook
The books are available
on Amazon
I have a website and
author page and all that but they are woefully neglected. The fan club is where
I hang out and post the latest news. The
admin is always having contests and I’m always giving away some pretty good
swag. Anyone that leaves reviews gets wristbands. (make sure you let me know!!)
We usually have stuffed Zombies or sugar skulls or shot glasses or something
cool for winners.

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL
Good Wednesday all , the day before Thanksgiving for all my American friends and book lovers . Today we are going to review Roma Gray's new book HAUNTED HOUSE HARBOR ( project 26 book 8)

zombies, killer bees and many other hidden terrors. As the world crumbles, a group of survivors
discovers there is only one safe haven: the mysterious town of Haunted House Harbor. For some
reason, all of the unleashed perils cannot penetrate the city limits. But there's one

BOOK BLURB
What Do Zombies Fear?
zombies, killer bees and many other hidden terrors. As the world crumbles, a group of survivors
discovers there is only one safe haven: the mysterious town of Haunted House Harbor. For some
reason, all of the unleashed perils cannot penetrate the city limits. But there's one
problem--Haunted House Harbor has its own dark side...
A unique and very different zombie novel. If you enjoy dystopian fiction, but are looking for something different, you've found the right book.
MY REVIEW
This book has the trifecta of what you think the world will end . We have zombies . killer bees and the world ending . The perfect apocalypse and the only place to go is Haunted House Harbor. As a group of survivors make their way to the small town . They don't know that the town has its own dark secrets . Will they survive the apocalypse and will they survive the town .
This book is the perfect twist on the zombie story , besides the undead we have real life things that could happen if fallen into the wrong hands . Nuclear weapons and famine that could wipe out everyone . You are on the edge of your seat when you are reading . The characters are not your super hero military type characters . The central characters are just your average everyday people a mother in a wheeler and her daughter who has autism . Throw in confused police officers and lazy construction workers . You have a rag tag band of survivors . But you can't forget one of the main characters the town of HAUNTED HOUSE HARBOR. This small town is holding a lot of secrets and play a big part in the survivors life or death .
The author has a way of writing that is direct ,she doesn't do endless descriptions of the mundane things . She will keep you the edge of your seat as you read . She will take you on a roller coaster ride . I found myself holding my breathe a few times as I read . I binge read this book in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down . This book really is more then just the zombies , its about survival and what would you do . You will loose yourself in this book and have it done in no time . If you like action , zombies and haunted houses this is the book for you . Get it and read it this thanksgiving .
