Thank you Professor V.J. Duke for the Assist on the His Revenge Launch

November 4, 2015November 4, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 6 Comments

The above header is the entrance to a fabled place called The Punchy Lands. It is here that Professor V.J.Duke resides and holds forth with his minions. I have to admit I have come under the spell of the place since it is a wonderful spot to go to escape. The professor has helped with the launch of His Revenge by granting an interview which he seldom does. As with all things professorish, the interview is wonderful indeed. Check it out HERE.

I have the latest picture of the professor which was taken in a Tea Shop (don’t ask)

Here is more about the Professor in his words

This professor would tell you a lot about himself, but inexplicably, I would end up telling you only uninteresting and dull particulars which would leave you crying in supreme boredom. In fact, you’d probably be left wondering why you had wanted to hear anything in the first place. So, I’ll just give you some dull facts:

(1) My favorite author is Mark Twain. (Even though he wasn’t professorish.)

(2) I don’t like coffee or chocolate–much.

(3) Butterflies hate me, I think.

(4) I’m never quite myself.

(5) Transposing Nocturnes–notably, Chopin’s–is dreadfully vexing.

(6) I change often. Sometimes unexpectedly.

(7) I think I collect rocks and old coins. (Preferably, nice-looking rocks with red streaks, and nice-looking old coins without red streaks.)

(8) I have a blue desk with ugly crayon drawings in the drawers that I’m not at all responsible for. The culprit has yet to be found, I fear.

(9) Sometimes I feel like myself.

(10) The professor can be mathematically explained. This is a wonder since his equation has yet to be discovered.

(11) Pride and Prejudice scares me, but I haven’t had a nightmare yet.

(12) I’m heartless. (I lost my heart on the plains of Troy.)

(13) The professor is a warrior.

(14) I have analysts; they keep me straight, since I tend to curve a bit.

That’s about it. *bows and his hat stays on*

Thank You Teagan Geneviene for Helping Launch His Revenge

November 3, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 2 Comments

Teagan has run a post in support of the His Revenge launch. You can visit it here. Teagan is the author of the wonderful book Atonement Tennessee which I read and loved.

Here is a little information about her.

Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene, a southerner by birth, was “enchanted” by the desert southwest of the USA when she moved there. She had always devoured fantasy novels of every type. Then one day there was no new book readily at hand for reading — so she decided to write one. And she hasn’t stopped writing since.
Her work is colored by her experiences in both the southern states and the southwest. Teagan writes many types of fantasy, from what she likes to call “quest type” fantasy, to urban fantasy, to fantasies with a dash of mystery. Her blog “Teagan’s Books” contains serial stories written according to contributions from viewers.

Major influences include Terry Brooks, David Eddings, Robert Jordan, and Charlaine Harris.

Here is a little more information about his books from A.G.

#marauder #SpaceCowboy #books with a Twist! are my hashtags. Born in the cotton fields of Arkansas.
Lived in Clarksville, AR and delivered newspapers from five to fourteen. After the death of my Father when I was eleven, my Mother remarried few years later and moved me to California. “Los Angeles” to be exact.
Boy, was that a shock for a fifteen a boy to come from a small town of 3,000 people to the huge city of LA. I recalled the first morning after we arrived, I was used to walking all around our small town and set out to walk around my new home. I didn’t get very far when a car full of teenage girls pulled up next to me walking on the sidewalk. The one in the passenger seat yelled to me, “Hi Jolly Green Giant!” I guess because I had on a green shirt, and my eyes are green. Being from a small southern town, girls just didn’t speak to guys without being properly introduced at that time! I was so embarrassed, I couldn’t speak. Laughing at my red face, they drove away! That was my introduction to California lifestyle

I started writing on the computer my Lightning in the Tunnel series in 1987 after thinking back about the riots in LA and wondered what would really happen in that city should a big event take place like a nuclear bomb, that was how my Lightning in the Tunnel series came about.
I have found my true love, my wife pushed me to publish my books after reading one of them, and she has been my greatest saleslady! Can you guess, I loved to write.
Brandi’s Nightmare followed my new science fiction/space opera called the “Chronicles of the Marauder-Marauder Rising is out. Complete with Alien creatures and personality conflicts.
Chronicles of the Marauder Book Two is now out. Book Three the conclusion is written but awaiting editing along with my next book of the Lightning in the Tunnel series called “Lightning Rages.” Two off-shoots of this series are being written, due out in 2015.
My Novella, called, “Sasha: A beam of Light” This is another unique book that has vampires, giant spiders, medieval knights, and witches! Check out my books, you might find something you like. Just a thought, LOL!

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

November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 ~ John W. Howell ~ 1 Comment

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.

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
