Media Alert: Bookburners Trailer

Over the last few weeks I have featured several posts on the new concept of Serialbox. They bring something new to publishing. Turn of your TV and subscribe to the weekly episodes of Bookburners.

So far I have read episodes 1 through 4 and they are pretty awesome. Bookburners is the first series published by Serialbox and follows the adventures of Sal who is recruited by an ancient organization that fights against the supernatural. Book have teeth! Some books can call forth the supernatural in terms of demonic possession and it is Sal's job amongst others to contain the damage. What I have seen so far is that the writing is top, the series is written by four different authors but the story flows naturally.

Just a few days ago Serialbox released the trailer of Bookburners. A pretty cool one, make sure you watch it and tune into your kobo, kindle, smartphone or tablet and read the series!

What makes this a cool concept of serial fiction is the fact that there is no pressure in terms of having to dig thorugh a big book. Each week there is a new episode so you have the time to read the episode over the week. And in the end you still get the whole story.

Bookburners and all future Serial Box serials will be available on the site, in the app, and on iTunes, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, and B&N.

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

Author interview with John Gwynne

Author interview with John Gwynne Author Bio: I was born in Singapore while my dad was stationed there in the RAF. Up until he retired that meant a lot of traveling around, generally a move every three years or so. I live with my wife and four wonderful (and demanding) children in East Sussex. Also three dogs, two of which will chew anything that stands still. I have had many strange and wonderful jobs, including packing soap in a soap factory, waitering in a french restaurant in Canada, playing double bass in a rock n roll band, and lecturing at Brighton University. I stepped out of university work due to my daughter’s disability, so now I split my time caring for her and working from home - I work with my wife rejuvenating vintage furniture, which means fixing, lifting, carrying, painting and generally doing what my wife tells me to do... And somehow during this time I started writing. I’ve always told my children stories at bed-time, and they pestered long and hard for me to
