Dimitri Iatrou , a Canadian (Nova Scotian) writer, has recently released Damastor – available from Amazon . READ THE REVIEW ON THIS BLOG HERE . With “themes of heaven and hell”, it’s a supernatural thriller set in the Middle Ages and in the present-day. It features a junkie, Kameron, who steals for his fix, and three mid-fourteenth-century figures whose lives have been devastated by the arrival of the Pestilence, or Black Death. Dimitri Iatrou Tell us about the timeline of the novel, Dimitri. And this Kameron is a hero/antihero? It's past/present. Goes from England 1349 to the present. Back and forth. Kameron is a druggie who mugs people for a living. But he's connected to the past somehow; moreover, he keeps having memories which do not belong to him. They’re becoming progressively more lucid and more frequent and he’s freaking out because he figures he’s going insane, that the voices are all attributed to years of drug abuse. Have you done any marketing for your book? Book si...

Maze, available at Amazon , is Part 2 in The Daughter of Darkness book series by Katya Mills . Your need to read the first is mitigated by a number of factors, not least that we learn about the origins of two of the main characters in the series here. There’s a conceit in superhero movies and comics related to how the hero is created by the villain, or perhaps by some huge adversity. In versions of these tales: -Spiderman gets his powers from a genetically enhanced spider bred by a nefarious corporation run by the Green Goblin’s alter ego -Tony Stark becomes Iron Man when he’s kidnapped by terrorists and compelled to build the very suit which helps destroy them -and Batman’s origins stem from the death of his parents at the hands of the Joker. Maze by Katya Mills Katya Mill’s Maze features the origin stories for Kell and Maze, both of whom are main characters in Mills’ books about DeLux ("Of Light") creatures who live among us, masquerading as human. These beings feed off hu...

"We heard you like Twitter," insists Twitter for Business. Well NO!!! I don't like Twitter. Here is a listicle of WHY I DON'T LIKE TWITTER: 1. Oh look! A bunch of tweets in which I am mentioned. They have been liked by the wonderful author Katya Mills aka Vitamin K @katya444ever . Now, without the need to go back through my Twitter feed in a farken DeLorean, WHO TF TWEETED THEM ORIGINALLY, PLEASE? I MEAN, REALLY? Somebody shouts at you on Twitter and half the time it's like "Who the hell said that?" 2. Searching for better SEARCH functionality! How about that, ehhh? Let's say I want to do a search for the most excellent Dario Cannizzaro to see if he's performing his literary works anywhere nearby! "Gimme a C please Carol!" (I will put in a C - just coz I am a difficult beshterd and I have been mumbling the name Cannizzaro to myself in an Italian accent for the last ten seconds. "Can-itz-ar-roe, Can-itz-ar-roe!") Sure enough, ...

Author of The Gaia Effect – available at Amazon – Claire Buss presents a world where the characters are protected by the “radiation beyond the wall” – and have all of their needs serviced, including reproduction – by an entity called “Corporation”. But when friends around the couple at the story’s core start to fall pregnant naturally, questions are raised about what they are expected to believe. It’s an intriguing title - The Gaia Effect? The Gaia principle goes that Earth is a naturally life-sustaining planet, that conditions always prevail to allow a return to a balanced ecosystem? Yes that's right - the idea that eventually the planet will put itself back into balance. However in my book, the spirit of the Earth - Gaia - lends a hand.   The book is set 200 years in the future, 150 years after the devastating radiation attacks but I can't tell you any more! Aww. AWWWW. ARRRRGHHHH!!! C’mohhhhhn! Are you agented, Claire? Did you go the self-publishing route?   I don't hav...
