Book Review of The 13th Prophet

The 13th Prophet by T. Lucas Earle
Book price $0.99 
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
This was a mildly funny book about a clothing crisis. This is all because in this dystopian society, they determine your personally. I would have liked it better if there wasn't any foul language. 
I would recommend the book to people who like dystopian books

Book Review of Monkey Talk by T. Lucas Earle

About the author: 
T. Lucas Earle is a writer, filmmaker, and amateur statistician  He lives in LA, a comfortable 60 meters above sea level, where only three out of every 100,000 people are murdered. 
T. Lucas has a degree from Emerson College, which makes for a terrific placemat. He spends his days reading terrible scripts - a job for which he receives  nominal remuneration. Like many slightly brain-damaged children of hypoxic former left-wing political cult members of the 1970s , he will review almost anything. I once caught him writing a review for a Hamilton Beach toaster oven  instruction manual.
When T. Lucas is not reading and groaning quietly to himself, he writes and groans much louder.  He has written several short stories, a screenplay or two, and is working up the courage to write a note to the fetching young lady who works at the Starbucks on Glendale Ave. He's been published in Electric Spec, The Colored Lens, and on Amazon, where you can find his short stories. 

T. Lucas also writes numerous blogs filled with hidden SOS messages, in the hopes that one day someone will find him and rescue him from the Internet.

About the author: 
Gill Shutt was born in the same year as CND, the year that Ronnie Kray was first diagnosed as insane and the year that the designer of Lego died. She has spent a lot of her life being described in relation to someone else... a married woman with three children who answers to Mum more often than not. She was born in London and, even though she left when she was 11 she still thinks of herself as a Londoner. Since then she has lived in Dorset, Devon and Avon, she now lives in South Wales with a mountain outside her window.
She can’t remember a time when she didn’t write but it wasn’t until she became a stay-at-home mum that she started to write seriously. It was a good excuse to avoid doing the housework which is one of her pet hates along with the colour pink and spiders. She managed to get a few poems published in a poetry magazine which fuelled her enthusiasm. She writes by hand in purple ink which is one step away from writing in green crayon on the back of a cereal packet.

Her ambition, apart from publishing books, is to grow old ungracefully surrounded by cats, dogs or rats. At the moment she has some of each and can’t make her mind up which way to go. She hopes that one day someone will turn round and say ‘I liked your book’.

Book Review of Wasteland of Anger and Hatred

Wasteland of Anger and Hatred by  Florentine Lily$.99
3 Stars out of 5 Stars
I only got this book because the author asked if I would review it. Other then crude language, I don't like books that focus on hatred. From the beginning it was all pomes about self misery from breaking up.
I would recommend the book to people who like books about wallowing in self misery

Interview with Author Christine Rice


 



What motivated you to become an author?

In 2006, I began writing substantially. I started writing a nonfiction book about my experiences with non-dieting, and then I took up writing poetry. The nonfiction book didn’t pan out, but I had developed a large collection of poems in just a few months. I wanted my poems to be organized in a presentable book format but had no intention of making the book available to the public, because, as a new writer, I was still shy about letting others read my writing. So I published my first book, “Poetry for the Heart,” with Lulu. Shortly afterwards, I made the book public, because I figured why not allow others to read my work and purchase it if they so choose? That was the start of my career as an author.

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?

When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading. I love to read and I love using my Kindle Paperwhite. I read a lot of books, especially by self-published authors. I find they have a lot of unique angles on different topics, and because I like to learn a lot about subjects I’m interested in, I’m so glad there are so many new authors!

What is your writing process?

My writing process depends on what I’m writing. For poems, there is no planning - just free thought; I open my mind and let my thoughts flow and write them all down. Articles and essays are slightly more structured because they’re nonfiction, so I usually brainstorm the subheadings and sometimes take a few notes or do a little research – before I begin writing. My memoir was written in chronological order; I started with my early years and wrote down all of my memories in the order that the events occurred. I did a lot of revising, because, as I was doing so, I recalled more memories to include. For my nonfiction book, “Freelance Writing Guide,” I did a complete outline and a little note-taking before I began writing. It really helped guide me when I wrote the first draft. And I edit and proofread all of my writing to make it the best that it can be!

What do you write about?

I write down my thoughts, feelings, experiences, and knowledge – mostly. I like to share what’s going on inside my mind. I’ve written about a lot of different topics, which are expressed in “Articles for the Mind.” I also really enjoy writing about writing.

What are some of the social media sites you are on?
I am on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, and Goodreads
. I love interacting with others and I gladly return likes,
follows, and adds, so feel free to connect with me!
