This is one of several Websites or pages wherein I sh'll post publication news and events regarding my mysterious and fantastic scrivenings, to wit, fiction and other writings. All tome raiders (not to be confused with tomb raiders of the Laura Croft variety), other authors, and all of those who simply love wordsmithing, wordcraft, are most welcome! Likewise, I'll use Blogger to comment on things on the Internet that I find to be misleading or downright fraudulent.

Code Name: Erelim trailer
Sherrod Colsne Mysteries are not for the shallow in reading comprehension. If you are a die-hard "texter," i.e. "Newspeak" aficionado (if you are, you may have to look up that word), you will not enjoy Code Name: Erelim, or any other Sherrod Colsne cases, all recorded by Montague Boyd "Monty" Weston, Colsne's assistant, friend, resident geek, and surrogate son, who shares in the anachronistic ways of his "boss."

iAuthor: FREE British (UK for the unwashed) author & book promotion site - Check It Out!
Why iAuthor?
The Problem
For emerging authors, the digital revolution is a mixed blessing. The Web may have democratised the act of publishing, but it hasn't democratised the outcome.
Authors of equal talent do not have equal access to readers.
This reality is replicated across the wider publishing industry. Micro-presses, smaller independents and book app publishers continually struggle for exposure. In a world numb with digital "noise", the gap between talent and opportunity is widening.
Being noticed through the cognitive clutter is now harder than ever.

Murder by Bequest -- "Finely Crafted," S. A. Molteni
#AmazonCart
By S.A. Molteni
Format:Paperback
Murder by Bequest by John Spencer Yantiss is a finely crafted novel in the vein of Sherlock Holmes.
The story begins with Eleanor Harkness visiting detective Sherrod Reynard Colsne and his assistant, Montague Boyd 'Monty' Weston in their New York City, "Granite Palace" to discuss employing them to find her father's killer.
The book is written from Monty's point of view and spreads over many years and many continents, although the book details just four days. Throughout the story other characters are murdered and the mystery of who the true killer is becomes all the more imperative to solve.
Descriptively detailed with the sights ands sounds of New York, Europe and India, it is evident that the author is well-traveled and offers a believable story with well-developed, realistic characters.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good murder/mystery. This book certainly delivers a fine storyline as well as a neatly tied up ending that is well worth read.
