I'm Back! Where is Book #3? And Readers Read Free in India!

Hello, hello, hello everyone!

Yes, look who is back from the dead! ;-)  I'm still around guys---and gals. I may not have blogged in a loooong while, but it didn’t stop me from reading your comments and even responding to some of you over on Wattpad. I had every intention of releasing book #3 in the Legend of the Firewalker series, but for now, all I can say is, “life doesn’t always go as planned.” I will go into more detail about the status of the book and where I’ve been in my next blog post. Today, however, I wanted to share the good news with the Fantasy and Supernatural Teen and Young Adult readers over in India.

Thanks to my partnership with Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP Select), the eBook for book #1 in the series is now free for India readers. This week you can also buy the paperback for book #1 for 17% off!

Click here to head on over to Amazon India to read eBook #1 (Free to India Readers on Kindle Devices)

So, that’s all I have for now. Thanks again to all those who continued to read the books even though book #3 had not been released! And to all the new readers over on Wattpad, keep the comments and feedback coming!

The Maze Runner Gets Sequel

The Maze Runner? What did I think? I liked it. The movie does have a slow start which I heard about the book, so I went into the movie with that expectation. Side note, The Legend of the Firewalker also has a slow start, so I am not complaining. ;)

The movie and novel by the same name, by James Dashner, stars Dylan O’Brien (MTV’s Teen Wolf). The premise of the story appears to be about a post-apocalyptic world in which civilization has fallen due to a virus. I say “appears to be” because there were so many unexpected twists and unanswered questions. However, by the end of the film, I had to stop the urge to immediately pick up book #2 in the series, The Scorch Trials, to find out what happens next.

Although I am more of a fan of the supernatural and not really the post-apocalyptic genre, I still enjoyed the movie. Overall, if you like action and definitely movies that make you think, you should enjoy this film. Apparently, others have as well, to the tune of $32.5 million during its opening weekend in North America. 20th Century Fox has already announced it will be making the sequel. The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials, based on the second novel in the series, has a tentative release date of September 2015.

I give The Maze Runner film 4.0 stars, based on the fact I spent more than half of the movie asking, “What the heck is going on?”  At Rottentomatoes.com, 79% have reported to have liked it.

The Legend of the Firewalker eBook is now on sale for $0.99 and the second book in the series, Drawing Bloodlines, is $3.99.

The Maze Runner Debuts This Friday!

Hello everyone!

So this Friday, The Maze Runner hits theaters and I can’t wait to see it. You may recall in previous blog posts I have mentioned that The Legend of the Firewalker has appeared in several Amazon book lists with this popular novel.

I haven’t had a chance to read the books, but I will definitely see the movie to see what The Maze Runner is all about. The movie stars Dylan O’Brien (MTV's Teen Wolf), and I can’t wait to see his performance. I am also a fan of the MTV series in which he co-stars.

The Legend of the Firewalker eBook is now on sale for $0.99 and the second book in the series, Drawing Bloodlines, is $3.99.

X-Men Movie Review & Drawing Bloodlines Now On Sale!!

Hello everyone and happy Saturday!

Before I get into my review of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Drawing Bloodlines, book #2 in the Legend of the Firewalker book series, is now on sale! I hope you guys enjoy the story and continue the adventure!

Drawing Bloodlines is on sale for $2.99 at Amazon.com and the Legend of the Firewalker, book #1 in the series, is only $0.99.

The paperback for Drawing Bloodlines will go on sale June 30th.

So, X-Men: Days of Future Past! I enjoyed the movie and love what it does for the X-Men franchise. I don't want to giveaway too much, but when it's all over, the X-Men universe will have an alternate story-line that resets everything that has happened over the course of the previous movies. So, what does this mean? It means, some of our fan favorites that have died over the span of the films will get a reboot.

I give X-Men: Days of Future Past 4.0 stars. Why just 4 stars? I wasn't thrilled with going back to the past after just visiting the 60's in X-Men: First Class (2011). Also, this movie basically stars Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) again. I am a fan of the Wolverine, but the character already stars in so many of these movies. It would be nice to give more screen time to some of the other fan favorites.

I will conclude however, by saying that the battle scenes were amazing! Check out the clip below of the opening battle scene for this movie.
