Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

Today I am featuring an awesome author, whose books I read with pleasure. P.J. Blakey-Novis is a British writer living on the south coast of England. Writing in numerous genres, most of his work falls firmly under horror. He is the author of two novels, eight collections of short stories, a novella, and a series of children’s books.  P.J. is also the co-founder of Red Cape Publishing, a small press focused on everything horror, from novels to anthologies. Peter lives with his wife and five children in a small town in Sussex, England. For as long as he can remember it had always been an ambition to complete a novel and, after the success of his debut, The Broken Doll, it has been fantastic to have the opportunity to turn a hobby into a new career. Since the release of The Broken Doll in February 2017, Peter has released the follow-up novel, Shattered Pieces, as well as seven collections of short horror stories, a horror novella, and three children's books. Peter has had work publish

Many authors complain about bad reviews because that is an unpleasant experience. It is not comfortable when you read bad critics about your books, that could be mockery or insults.  However, bad reviews have a positive side, your book is getting noticed. Somehow you touched someone's nerve, or your book really needs work so the reviewer is right. It means you will have a direction on how to fix your mistakes. Unless it is trolling, bad reviews should not have always bad effects. Ignorance is another problem that indie authors face.  You can see it in a few ways: You promoted your book, and invested money, but your sales are low. You asked for reviews, but nobody answered you. You made a status about your book, but nobody clicked a link to buy it. Sometimes, you will get a promise. It would be a promise that will never be realized. It means a polite rejection. "Well, you will have to wait. Currently, I have no time to read it." When you were writing your book, you did not

These days I was faced with intruders in my personal inbox. Goodreads and Facebook brought me messages from strangers. Shortly, they wanted a kind of education about sales and promotions, and to be a member of their groups. I am always fascinated by how someone can write to an unknown person, without checking her profile. What kind of genre do I write, do I wish to communicate with people I don't know, all could be clear from my profiles.  How do I answer these messages? With blocking, I don't want to waste time explaining what I want and what I don't want. This made me think, how many authors promote themselves in the wrong ways? I understand the desire to sell your book, but you can make a contra effect by forcing others to notice you. Social media are filled with book links. Authors are focused on numbers, they are automatically collecting followers, but a big number of followers doesn't mean selling by default. You will get a bunch of people on Twitter, Tik Tok, and

A uthor James G. Carlson writes in a specific way, with depth and deep inspiration. James G. Carlson is an award-winning author of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy. His short stories have appeared in various anthologies from small presses. He has also released two collections of dark fiction, SEVEN EXHUMATIONS and THE EVER-DESCENDING STAIRCASE, as well as two novellas, THE LEGION MACHINE and MIDNIGHT IN THE CITY OF THE CARRION KID. From the weird state of Pennsylvania, James drinks too much coffee and writes at a desk surrounded by animals and family in the mad zoo he calls home . My review for his book Legion machine: Welcome to the world of androids and machines. Angela seeks revenge for her beloved partner Rae and meets a guy who repairs her. She is ready for the battle. The action in this novel is filled with the emotions and habits of machines who live like humans, just on a higher level. Angela is introduced with Legion Machine, but the price for justice is maybe too hig

Let me introduce an awesome author Angelo Schenna, whose stories are proof that love still exists. As a child, A. A dreamed of being a cardiac surgeon. Later, Schenna realized that this was not what he wanted. Writing has always been his greatest pleasure. When he doesn't write action, adventure, horror stories, or anything else, he reads everything. Schenna admires all the writers he comes across and enjoys talking about books and magazines. A.A loves meeting new people, discovering new places and he also likes traveling along with his partner and family. Join A.
