K.S. Brooks Podcast on Newbies Writers

Newbie Writers has been around since 2006. It was originally run by writer Dawn Copeman. In 2009 Damien Boath came on to run the show. He and writer Catharine Bramkamp host a lively and entertaining podcast show. Since its early days, Newbie Writers has evolved from a humble site with forums, newsletter and how-to articles; to a weekly podcast and popular blog.

Our own K.S. “Kat” Brooks was interviewed by this dynamic duo, and it made for a very entertaining segment. We hope you’ll enjoy the show and let Catharine and Damien know you heard about it here!

Ioana Visan Announces New Title

Author Ioana Visan is pleased to announce the release of her collection of paranormal stories, Where Shifters Meet for Drinks.

Life is never easy when two major clans reside in the same city. Politics become more complicated especially since said citizens possess fangs and claws, beaks and talons as the werewolves and were-eagles do.

They also happen to be at war.

The one person responsible to keep them all in check is the Mayor, and even he is at loss when the threats come from the outside. But sometimes, just sometimes, miracles do happen.

Seven stories meant to make you laugh, sigh, sit on the edge of your seat, cringe, and think. Shapeshifter stories for non-shapeshifter fans.

Where Shifters Meet for Drinks was released on December 14, 2012 and is available from Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Smashwords, and other online booksellers.

R.G. Bud Phelps Announces New Title

Author R.G. Bud Phelps is pleased to announce the release of his new historical fiction novel, Back in the Day.

Back in the Day is the second book in the “historical life series” of a boy born in Nebraska in 1932, and  covers a ten year period from 1945 to 1955. The author paints “time travel trips” back to specific time frames in the story to maintain the flavor of the places and individual characters in the story from his four years in high school, the summers in-between, and throughout his four years in the U.S. Navy.

Back in the Day was released on late in 2012 and is currently available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
