Feature: Cover reveal Prison Planet of the Mah-Lahkt

Feature: Cover reveal Prison Planet of the Mah-Lahkt by Hugo Negron

Two years ago I gotten into contact with Hugo Negron about his self published first book series: Forging of a Knight and his first book also called Forging of a Knight. The story of a young knight called Qualtan who was coming of age and coming to terms with his biggest wish that of becoming a knight to protect and serve his country. From the first moment Hugo Negron manages to create the spot on setting of a true Epic Fantasy story, showing clearly that there are dark forces present that have their minds set on dangerous deeds. The highly enjoyable epic fantasy setting was achieved by all that was involved from the magic to the races like elves and trolls but also by the narration and writing style, this book is more aimed at the young adults among us and thus the easy but detailed and addictive writings style will make them like this story even more. 

In the sequel to Forging of a Knight, Rise of the Slavekeepers, Hugo Negron went way above my expactations. Further building up the characters that we got acquianted with in the first book and quite (and that is an understatement) enlarging his world. For me he did the unthinkable but when you reflect on the whole it does add its own flair to the story. Hugo Negron introduced different dimensions. I will leave it at this before I spoil to much. But I can safely say that the Forging of a Knight series is a must read for fantasy fans it has all the good things working in its favor!

Short Fiction Friday: Selfies

Selfies by Lavie Tidhar "Selfies", by Lavie Tidhar, is a creepy little horror tale about the fate of a young woman who makes the mistake of a lifetime when she buys a new phone in the local mall. It is only a few weeks back that I read a different but very interesting short story of Lavie Tidhar, Dragonkin . I found this story directly to my liking, the synopsis and build up of the story was unique and got me excited by it's less is more writing style. In the end this story for me had so much going on that I hope to see Lavie Tidhar exploring it even further. That aside, now its time for Selfies . I think I can now safely say that Lavie Tidhar is an author to watch out for, his stories will get you thinking and will scare you twice over.  I have been thinking a lot of the current situation with always being connected on social media and the likes. It's unavoidable. One thing that is connected with all of this is of course your smartphone, yes no longer a cell

Guest Blog: Alien Invasion Stories from Armada to Grunt Traitor

Guest Blog: Alien Invasion Stories from Armada to Grunt Traitor  By Weston Ochse © 2015   There’s something at once terrifying and romantic about an invasion. One wrong move could mean the destruction of everything you know and love, but in the heat of battle, there are crystalline moments in which true humanity shines. Like many military authors, I often look to history for guidance on how to write the future. I’ve always looked at the Battle of Rorke’s Drift as the perfect sort of battle to represent an alien invasion. One hundred and fifty British soldiers in a remote outpost are beset by four thousand Zulu warriors. The odds seemed impossible, yet in the end the British won the day. The early Michael Cain movie Zulu retells this story and stands as one of my favorite military movies of all time. There are moments in the film that resonate. In the face of overwhelming attack, the sergeant major lowly commanding his men to take it easy. Right when everything seems los
