Hey ya'll! I usually give you updates every couple months, but I haven't really been doing that lately. So I'm going to take this time to update you about what's going on in my life right about now, but as for the other posters I'm not too sure about their lives, so that's up to them to update you. Anyway, as ya'll might know, this year I'm a senior in high school. I also am dual enrolling at the local college (where I go to college but am still in high school, so really it's just cheaper). So now that cheer's been over and done with, even though I still have a bunch of other extracurricular activities to keep me busy, I'm pretty much focusing on picking a college for next year and filling out as many scholarships as I can. I've been accepted to all the schools I've applied to, and am now trying to decide where I'm going to end up and working on financials. My top choice is Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. It's ri...

Hard Magic (Book 1 of the Grimnoir Chronicles) by Larry Correia Imagine a world where having "magic" is commonplace but still feared. Imagine a world changed and molded by the introduction of this phenomena, where any child could be born with the powers to change gravity or be able to create fire from their fingertips. This is the world Jake Sullivan, a private eye, grew up in and it's ever changing. He's a magic user called a Heavy; he can change gravity. When Sullivan goes to prison for accidentally turning a man to mush while defending a boy with magic abilities, he gets a second chance. All he has to do is help capture other criminal magic users. His last job to square with the law happens to be capturing his ex-girlfriend. Before he can take her down, a group of well-trained magic users come to her aid and whisk her away. Things start to get fishy from there, and Sullivan just can't let a mystery go. I liked this book. I like history and this book i...

Best Western Plus Rocket City Inn Huntsville, AL I was very happy with the accommodations at this hotel. Check in went well. We were greeted in a timely manner. The guest services representative was courteous and was able to add a night to our original internet reservation with no problem. She was also able to use our government discount with no problem. We were on the first floor. The room was clean. I liked that there was an option for a non-smoking room. There was even a sign that stated that a cleaning charge would be added if a guest smoked in the room. The Internet wi-fi was fast and easy to access. The television stations were suitable. The only things "wrong" in the room was that the pull out sofa bed springs were broken on the end. But we were still able to sleep there. But like all pull outs, it wasn't very comfortable. The king-size bed was comfortable and clean. The pillows were on the small size. :-) The other thing that concerned me was the firs...

“I'm very polite by nature, even the voices in my head let each other finish their sentences.” – from Completely Flappable   Each year I organize an event during which I give away free books and raffle off some prizes. This year I thought it would be fun to donate the proceeds as well. I'd chosen Child Helpline International as they support toll-free child helplines worldwide, and help highlight gaps in child protection systems. I'd like to thank everyone who picked up a copy of "No Hope for Gomez!" or "Unspent Time", and I'm happy to be report that we raised over a thousand dollars for the CHI. The Kindle HD Fire goes to: Daniel Wakefield Regs, Graham Parke PS -lets see how far we can get next year ;)

I, Walter by Mike Hartner I, Walter is the first in a series of books in a saga which will span continents and time to arrive in present day North America.  Each in the series will be connected, though that connection may not be obvious for several more books.   It's almost like looking at a menorah (sic). Many lines, seemingly individual, connect to center at different points.  Walter Crofter was born into Elizabethan England. In a country and a time where favor and politics were both deadly, can an honest boy stay true to himself? Especially given his family background?   About the Author  Mike Hartner was born in Miami in 1965. He’s traveled much of the continental United States. He has several years post secondary education, and experience teaching and tutoring young adults. Hartner has owned and run a computer firm for more than twenty-five years. He now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife...

On Family and Its Role in I, Walter by Mike Hartner         Family. That word alone means different things to different people. To me, it meant a father, a mother, and several brothers. But, much more importantly to me, it meant love. My family wa s bathed in, and surrounded by love. And that is the most encouraging thing in the world.          So place yourself in the family of Walter Crofter. His father, Geoff, is wishy-washy at best, mostly spineless, and allows people of wealth to get away with nearly anything simply because he’s afraid of losing their business even more than he already has.            Walter’s brother Gerald saw the way customers treated their father, and his reaction was to rise among the ranks of the illegals in London. He was trying to inflict pain on a class of people that had physically and emotionally...
