Hank Phillippi Ryan wrote Prime Time and Face Time both in 2007. Both these books were re-released with new book covers along with Air Time, the third Charlotte McNally novel. Just like Hank, Charlotte McNally is a television reporter for Channel 3. She always gets the top stories but being number one comes with a price. Charlotte finds herself not only reporting the news but being the news as well. Channel 3 has been reporting the story of the missing disappearance of Bradley Foreman who worked at Aztratech Pharmaceuticals. A new development has caused this story to have a sad ending. Mr. Foreman’s car was found. He had run off the side of the road. The authorities have categorized his death as a suicide. Charlotte does not by the suicide story, especially since she received an email from Mr. Foreman before his death. He was trying to tell her something about Aztratech Pharmaceuticals but what? These books can be read separately. In fact I started with Air Time and am now working my w...

Kaylee Cavanaugh has a special ability about her. She can see when someone around her is going to die. That person gets a dark aura around them and soon after they die. The strangest thing happens to Kaylee, when someone dies. Kaylee’s body seizes up and she gets the sudden urge to scream. Kaylee’s latest episode takes place at the bar in front of Nash. Kaylee likes Nash but she isn’t sure she can trust him with her secret. Besides it seems that Nash has a secret of his own. My Soul to Take is the first book in the Soul Screamers series. A brand new series by Rachel Vincent. It is also the first teen novel she has written. I first discovered Ms. Vincent with her highly popular shifter series. Every one of her shifter books is a favorite of mine. So when I learned that Rachel was starting a teen series, I just had to check it out. I have to admit that I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this series. Both the characters and the plot were good but it wasn’t as intense as the shifter seri...

I want to thank Caitlin with FSB Associates for letting me share this atricle that her boss and founder of FSB Associates wrote. I'll Take a Community With That Book, Please!By Fauzia Burke With today's search empowered readers, do we need to market and publish books differently? Does general publishing makes sense in an age of Google searches, micro communities and niche marketing? Today's readers are tech savvy and resourceful. They know how to get the information they need and have higher expectations from publishers and authors. They don't just expect a book, they expect a community with their book. I often hear publishers say that there are "very few brands in book publishing." But to thrive in today's competitive, niche markets, perhaps brands are exactly what we need. What readers choose to read is personal and an extension of who they are. Shouldn't their book choices be supported by a publisher, a brand that is invested in their interests? Man...

Check out this book's website My review: Have you ever been so obsessed over the undead that when you watch a movie or TV show with a vampire in it that you wished you were the girl being devoured by the vampire? Well cheer up as there is a book for you. It is called How to Catch and Keep a Vampire. If you ever dreamed or imagined yourself with a vampire than you should check this step by step guide. After reading it you will wonder why this book wasn’t written sooner. Though I do have to warn you that this guide may burst some of your bubbles as this author, Diana Laurence debunks myths about vampires. I liked this book. It was witty, charming, insightful, and an all around how to guide that you can really sink your teeth into! How to Catch and Keep a Vampire isn’t just a step by step guide that you just read and try on your own. No, author Diana Laurence has first hand experience on dealing with the undead and she shares with the readers the do’s and don’ts of being with a vampir...

Life is difficult enough, when you are sixteen. It is even harder if you are Aden Stone. Aden is host to four souls. One can time-travel, one can raise the dead, one can tell the future and one can possess another human. As much as it sounds cool to be able to do all these things, it can have its draw backs like…all of a sudden being transported back in time to a younger version of yourself or being able to predict when a loved one or friend will die. Though all these things are as bad as having all four voices speak to you at the same time. Mary Ann Gary is the new girl in town. From the first moment she meets Aden, she senses something special about him. It isn’t only Aden who is special. Being around Mary Ann makes all the voices in Aden’s head stop talking. Mary Ann better watch it as another girl has stepped into the picture. She is a vampire princess and she wants Aden. I thought this wasn’t a pretty good book. Though I would have liked to have seen Aden do more with all the dif...

In exchange for not being prosecuted and having his slate wiped clean, he agrees to help the Bureau take down the ring leader. John Lourdes works for the Bureau. When John’s boss assigns John the responsibly of accompanying Rawbone across the Mexican border, John is anything but thrilled. Though John is a good agent and will do whatever the job entails. Besides this will give John a chance to get to see who his father really is. Yes, that is correct…Rawbone is John’s father. Only Rawbone doesn’t know this fact. First off let me tell you that I had no expectations of whether I would like this book or not. Well I am happy to report that I not only enjoyed this book but that I read it in one sitting! The Creed of Violence reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Which this book is going to be made into a movie. The dynamics betwe...
