I agree, and I enjoy her work, it just makes me wonder if she's not a the point that many authors/artists/musicians hit as their popularity increases which results in a 'poorer quality' work.

BTW one of the best Short Stories I've read in the last few years was this one, a collaboration by Bear with Sarah Monette called Mongoose:

Ohhh good point.

Hopefully everything is just hitting all at once for the time being and will settle down.

Announced my new release and revealed the final cover. Little hiccup in the publishing process. This is the first time Kobo got to market with my book before Amazon.

A book review or "Brynn the Exorcist". It's a Christian Horror story, normally outside of my genre, but I really enjoyed it.

Wow...that probably doesn't happen often to anyone. Good luck with your book!!

You can now see where your book is on my to do list! It doesn't include childrens novels or flash friday stories. It's a rough outline so you don't have to wonder if I'll ever get it done!

I've just recently had my books recorded as audio books and I asked one of my Voice Over Artists to write a guest blog post about what she does. The result is now up on my personal blog:

awesome...I've been eyeing this one.

And for Flash Friday I kind of tore apart Happy Valentines Slay....so much the editor felt the need to comment which sparked another topic here:

I really hate giving bad reviews. I feel almost obligated to give a good one if someone gives me their work. But to be true to myself I didn't just give a good review for that sake.

It's a horror novel that had some good ideas, but fell short in execution. Mainly because of such weak characters.

I can't remember where that book came up for me - a request, or a freebie, or something, but I didn't opt in. It only took the first line of the blurb to make my decision:

How Does a Hot, Sexy Mother Who Hates Her Daughter Put Her Ultimate Plan Into Action?

It's not just the "Hot" and the "Sexy", or even the "Ultimate" in that sentence, it's also the fact that for some reason the whole thing is in title case.

I didn't go any further after that. I know it's a bit harsh, but I've got this thing about the first sentence I see. If it's a disaster, I take it as an ill omen.

[jhempel24]

yeah the hot sexy mother thing doesn't make sense. It doesn't even play a factor really. It was an ok freshmen effort. but he needs to work on characterization for his next one
