Another Review On Amazon For “THE BRIDGE”…

All right! Another 5 star review for “The Bridge” on Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars
BUY THIS BOOK!, April 22, 2013
By Joe Hinojosa (Greenville, TX) – See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: The Bridge: Something waits (Para-Earth Series) (Volume 1) (Paperback)
I admit that The Bridge was a bit of a surprise. I usually don’t go for fantasy or anything paranormal, but I will confess that I became intrigued when I read about it on the author’s blog. Took me longer than I would have liked, but I finally bought it.

The beginning for me was a little slow, but it quickly progressed and hooked me. What I found to be most enjoyable were the main characters themselves. They were not all one-dimensional. The author tried to make them complex, but didn’t complicate the story. He showed us what we needed to know as it related to the story.

As far as the plot, it moved rather briskly as the story unfolded. The premise is great and it leaves you wondering what’s happening. I could never get a handle about what was coming next and it made it difficult to put the book down.

The climax and resolution were unexpected, put satisfyingly so. The story was quite moving, including the struggles each character faced in the arch on their own particular journey and it was a joy to have been along for the ride.

All in all, I think this is a great book and I would recommend it to everyone to read. Buy this book!

Update About My “Hobbit Birthday Party” Last Weekend…

Well, time for a little update.  Here are the results so far from my “Hobbit Birthday Party” last weekend. Total 40 free books were picked up. And so far 4 reviews have come back, which is great in my book. The fact that people went through it so fast and got back to me is terrific. I’m hoping with time, that as people get to read it and finish the book, they’ll leave reviews too.

Out of the 4 reviews I’ve gotten 3 were 5 Stars and the last one was a 3 star, but a very pleasant one mind you. They still encouraged people to check it out so I’m not going to complain.

This first review is from Amazon.com:

You’ll think twice about going in the water! April 5, 2013

By Michael Drakich

Format:Kindle Edition

Exhilerating! The story kept me tense the whole way through. I normally don’t read horror as I prefer science fiction and fantasy but after receiving a copy of the novel it is my habit to always read all the way through and I’m glad I did. There is even a touch of sci-fi in the mix which pleased me. The story was creative and, at times, frightening, the good way a horror book should be. A number of sub-plots rounded out the novel but it is the main plot that is so riveting. I don’t want to post any spoilers except to say the concept of the evil hidden in the river is a nice change from coming from underground. For fans of the horror genre, this is a must read.

Review by:  on April 06, 2013 :   

Good ideas, well paced and well plotted, with interesting and engaging characters.

But it needs a thorough editing; I felt like I was reading an unpublished draft. The common banter style made the characters tend to blur together, and really, could they not sometimes just get on with their bloody jobs instead of making with the constant sexual jokes & innuendos? And the author very badly needed to consult someone actually British for the voice of the supposedly British characters – these are teeth-gratingly bad at times. (What is Oye even supposed to mean? Oy? Oi? Aye? What kind of English are we even talking about? Seems to veer randomly cockney & posh.)

I got the book free in exchange for a review; I hope this isn’t so harsh as to be discouraging. There’s a lot of good in it; it just needs some balancing and tweaking.

The Bridge is an excellent book, well written. A genre I don’t usually read but, I will look out for Allen’s next book.

My Review of Ripley Patton’s “GHOST HAND”

This is a new element I’ve decided to add to this blog.  Since I talk about books (mostly my own that are in progress) I thought it would be cool to alert you all to some other authors and their works that you might not have heard of, from time to time.  The first one I’m reviewing is called “GHOST HAND” by Ripley Patton.   You can find this book on Amazon.com for Kindle at:

Ghost Hand (The PSS Chronicles)

Here’s my review:

“Ghost Hand” is a thrilling ride into a modern day reality, so like our everyday one, but with a twist… some people have ‘Ghost Limbs’. It feels like the author took the concept of ‘phantom limb syndrome’, when someone suffers the loss of a limb yet still feels the missing appendage, and then made it into something more tangible in a unique way. The characters are born with what would have been a missing limb, except the limb IS there, only it’s glowing and almost intangible at times. And sometimes, they seem to have a mind of their own.

Our heroine, Olivia is one of them. She has a ‘Ghost Hand’. She doesn’t know how or why she is this way. Nor does she know what it can do. But both she and the reader are about to find out.

The author does a wonderful job of bringing the characters (both good and bad) to life and making them so real and human. The prejudice against those with PSS limbs, almost harkens back to the days of the Salem Witch trials. But seeking the destruction of those like Olivia, is only the goal of some of the enemy. There are others, higher up in the ranks, who have other plans for Olivia and her friends. And we are just beginning to learn what those plans might be in this book.

Intrigue, action, tension, suspicion, budding romance, are just a few of the things that make this a real page turner and hard to put down.  But what makes me even more excited is that this is just the beginning. More installments of this series are on the way and I for one can hardly wait.

If you’re looking for a paranormal thriller, this is one you don’t want to pass up.

“THE BRIDGE” Is Now Available In Many Formats…

Just wanted to share a few things about my new novel “The Bridge” with all of you.  I’ve been getting a lot of questions and I’m hoping to answer most, if not all of them, here.  The novel is a strange blend of horror, paranormal mystery, and science fiction set in modern day.  I have psychics, police, ghosts and a mystery that initially dates back some 300 years and then beyond that.

It is now available as both an e-book and in print.  For those who want print follow the Createspace or Amazon links provided below.  OR, if you are interested in getting a signed copy please e-mail me.  The price for a signed copy is the same as at Createspace or Amazon ($15.99) and that will include the shipping price as well.  I’ll provide my e-mail address below along with the links.

As for the e-book formats I have Kindle, Epub (which is good for IPad/IBooks, Sony readers, Nook, Kobo, and most e-reading apps including Stanza, Aldiko, Adobe Digital Editions, others), PDF, Palmn Doc (PDB).  The price for the e-book versions are $3.99.
