Shout Out to Teri Polen for Helping Launch His Revenge

November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 4 Comments

Teri Polen is a reader and reviewer and has a killer blog named Books and Such. She is helping with the launch of His Revenge and as a thanks I want you to know a bit about her.

Here are some of her badges

Here is what Teri says about herself.

“Some of my favorite things in life are books (no romance), music (preferably alt/rock and absolutely no country), movies (rarely chick flicks), red wine (no Merlot) and dark chocolate (please don’t add any fruit to what is already perfection). On the flip side of that, I strongly dislike the color pink and loathe shopping – unless it’s in a bookstore or someplace I can buy movies, music, wine, or chocolate. That being said, it’s pretty evident why my female friends think I’m a little strange.”

Thank you again, Teri

Thank you Phillip McCollom for the help with the His Revenge Launch

Phillip McCollom helped with the launch of His Revenge. You can go to his site and view the post HERE.

As a way of a thank you I would like to give you a little information about Phillip.

Haunted by the specter of Homer, Phillip found that his only means of appeasement was to write stories. First horrible, terrible stories; then soon not-so-horrible, not-so-terrible stories. Homer shows up less and less these days, and Phillip’s hoping that by the time he writes good stories, Homer will have chosen to move on to the next cartoon-spiritual plane.

Phillip also does killer reviews of books that maybe you wanted to read but knew you would not live long enough to get around to them. Here is just a sample of the list.

Phillip’s blog is a celebration of living life “in the moment” which was a lesson he learned through a process of experience which we all shared.

Thanks for the support Phillip.

Thank You, Pamela Beckford Again, for His Revenge Support

Pamela also volunteered to help with the launch of His Revenge by posting the news on her other blog Year Around Thanksgiving. Have a visit. What makes this post so special is Pamela was in a severe car accident yesterday and still finds the time to help other authors. Yes, she is okay with a number of bruises. Thank you again, Pamela and I’m so glad you are okay.

You know from yesterday Pamela is the author of four great books of poetry found here on Amazon.

Thanks to Craig Boyack for the help Launching His Revenge #RRBC

November 3, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 4 Comments

Craig is the author of six excellent books. You can review them all here on Amazon. He also is a very talented humorist. You should go over to his site and check out the dialog at the end of the announcement of the His Revenge launch. I’ll give you a hint there is some confusion with lunch. Thanks, Craig, it was terrific.

Here is the lineup of Craig’s books.

Craig lets us know a little about him in his words.

I was born in a town called Elko, Nevada. I like to tell everyone I was born in a small town in the 1940s. I’m not quite that old, but Elko has always been a little behind the times. This gives me a unique perspective of earlier times, and other ways of getting by. Some of this bleeds through into my fiction.

I moved to Idaho right after the turn of the century, and never looked back. My writing career was born here, with access to other writers and critique groups I jumped in with both feet.

I like to write about things that have something unusual. My works are in the realm of science fiction, paranormal, and fantasy. The goal is to entertain you for a few hours. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Craig

A little about her from Katie.

“Writer, mom, real-food foodie, reckless gardener and wannabe spy.

Descended of pirates and revolutionaries, I am a lover and student of all things Irish. Born in the States, I am a dual US/Irish citizen, and studied history and politics at University College, Dublin – although, at the time, I seriously considered switching to law, if only so I could attend lectures at the castle on campus.

I live in the American Midwest with my son, two cats and a pesky character in my head named D (but you can call him Dubh).”

Thanks, Katie.

As you can see the day is overcast with the surf action pretty much the way it has been for the last week. We did have a lovely week, and the rain seems to like visiting on the weekends The rain is moving away and won’t be back until mid-week. The wind continues to push the water closer to the dunes but has subsided as of this morning.

This post is the first of a few today since I am announcing the release of my new book His Revenge. Thanks in advance for your support.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday- Prompt “Strange, Stranger, Strangest”

October 31, 2015October 30, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 26 Comments

Stream of Consciousness Saturday time gain. This week’s prompt as dictated by the boss Linda Hill is “Strange/Stranger/Strangest.” The beautiful part is we can use one, two or all three. IT IS THE WRITER”S CHOICE. I know this doesn’t seem like a big deal to you, but to have a choice these days is a big thing.If you would like to join in go to Linda’s place and find out the rules. Here is the link: http://lindaghill.com/2015/10/30/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-oct-3115/

“Tell me that again?”

“I saw a strange stranger doing the strangest thing.”

“You just left Linda Hill’s place right?”

“Yeah, but so what. Don’t you want to know the strangest thing the strange stranger was doing?”

“I can tell you if you were at Linda Hill’s place she probably gave you a prompt where you had to work in strange, stranger, strangest. Right?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. You are acting strange. Almost like the strangest stranger.”

“Okay, I give up. What was the strangest thing the strange stranger was doing?”

“He was sitting on the curb drinking milk,”

“This was the strangest thing the strange stranger was doing?”

“No, not exactly.”

“You’re going to drag this out aren’t you?”

“Ask me again.”
