“I got Whiplash and Paper cuts from reading ELECTRIC ANGEL...Could…Not put it down!

Oh. You need the link don't you:

Mavens of Horror

You do have to be a big boy or girl to read it on the site though. Meaning that yes, you'll have to click that you understand you might see adult content. If you're under 18 and want to read this review just make sure your legal guardian checks it out first. Then make sure that legal guardian orders a few copies from Black Bed Sheet Books for you to read (because the content of Electric Angel is actually fine for any age reader.) Hey, I'm a mom too! You kiddies best follow the rules!!! Now go eat your veggies! ;D

Wowsers and thank-you!

Another review from the Black Bed Sheet edition of Never Ceese: ISBN-9780976994749 that I encourage you to ONLY purchase at:

Black Bed Sheet Books even though you can buy it anywhere fine books are sold. ;D

I'd like to preface this review, (as I call it,) by saying that you won't see such reviews on Amazon or any other review site as they pull their reviews from Amazon. Quite bogus but I could really care less. Now on with the review or rather one readers opinion of the words that I wrote.

From MikkeyVamp:

". . . I know it has been some time . . . but I promised myself that I would finish your book Never Ceese within two weeks, starting a couple of days before Halloween. I just closed the book and I have enjoyed this story fully. I now understand why you called this story your "baby." It truly was overwhelming, especially in the end when you feel so much emotion for both Cee Cee and Richard. I feel as though I can call her that after the emotional roller-coaster she put me on! lol. I am sorry it has taken so long for me [to finish reading] as we all let life "busy" us too much to take moments to enjoy a quiet read. I have been wanting to send you messages over these two weeks but I said that it would be better to finish and then tell you how wonderful this story truly is! The faith element is what brought me some added peace . . . Sometimes we truly are tested and we have to wrestle alone with God to find out what it is he wants us to do . . . I'm glad for this little divine intervention with your book. I may be singing that little prayer to myself every so often. I do wonder who Penelope's daughter is and is she alive or did she die and is that why Cassie is adopted? I do hope Richard is happy to see his father again and I look forward to reading the next book!!! Of course poor Josh,that Henderson is a real piece of work!! Perhaps also, Rodney and CeeCee will become closer? I wonder so many things now!!! Let me know when the new book is available!! It is a must have and I will be sure to this time to offer myself "time" to enjoy that quiet read...Much more success to you and have a great and Blessed Thanksgiving!!"

Yes, wowsers and thank-you indeed. And all your questions let me know that I in fact did the job I wanted to do with Never Ceese. Those are the EXACT questions you should have and are eager to want to find out the answer to.

Also let me interject that one can write a story that is in fact spiritually uplifting without writing what is called "Faith based" fiction which is in fact targeted fiction for a very "targeted" Christian audience and certainly not designed to appeal to anyone but that "targeted" market. My work is general market work. The only agenda I have is to write a story that LOTS of folks will enjoy. It's comments like the above that let me know I've done just that.

Thank you so much for enjoying Never Ceese Mikkey Vamp!!! Oh and Electric Angel! ;D

Whatever doesn't kill me . . .

Don't believe Amazon.

You'd think that a site set up to "help" publishers and authors sell their books would at least post information that wasn't misleading. For instance, here we are in November and they show my new release from Black Bed Sheet Books as taking 6 to 9 weeks to deliver. Here's where it says this on the book page:

More flighty information from Amazon.

This books availability is no different than any other book they list. There's nothing odd or peculiar that would make it any different than any other book where they "don't" post how long it will take to ship. If you want this book sooner go anywhere else to buy it. You may go to SueDent.net and purchase an autographed copy where shipping is waived if you're here in the US from the sidebar to the left or if you're viewing this article while on SueDent.net just look to your left. And of course you can go to:

Black Bed Sheet Books

You get the book for the best price, because no seller gets a better discount than any other seller, and you can purchase e-books here as well. Non-Amazon, non-smashwords Kindles, non-B&N Nooks and any other format.

I've no idea why Amazon continues to make it difficult for small publishers to make a sale. For real!!! Get a life Amazon!

Did you know . . . ?

DID YOU KNOW that no site that advertises they have my books, either Never Ceese or Electric Angel or the soon to be released Black Bed Sheet version of Forever Richard, can actually sell my books for less than what my publisher can sell them for? Nor can any site be competitive with the other. They all get the standard discount. If they list the book for less, you will pay the difference in shipping. If they offer free shipping, they will up the price of the book. There's absolutely no benefit to buying my books from anyone other than:

Black Bed Sheet Books

DID YOU KNOW that you will never find an e-book copy of the Black Bed Sheet version of Never Ceese or Electric Angel listed anywhere EXCEPT at Black Bed Sheet Books where you can get a non-Amazon, non-Smashwords KINDLE or a non-B&N Nook? That's right. Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble ALL allow for the e-books they list to be given away for free through their nifty lending library WITHOUT the publisher's permission. Smashwords does so by allowing B&N to list an e-book if it meets certain easily obtainable requirements. Black Bed Sheet e-books are instantly downloadable and oftentimes filled with nifty extras! ;) And you can also read a sample chapter to make sure it's of the quality you expect before you purchase. So there's no point in looking anywhere other than at:

Black Bed Sheet Books

DID YOU KNOW that no large-chain bookstore, and specifically Barnes & Noble, will order a copy of Never Ceese or Electric Angel for their store even though I've been short-listed for a Bram Stoker Award in one instance and long-listed for a British Fantasy Award in another instance, have had wonderful, resounding reviews from best-selling authors and from some of the best fans in the world? Nope. They won't order any book for their store if a publisher doesn't make their books returnable according to an "industry" standard return policy designed to save failing bookstores during the depression. A return policy that was never designed to work for small publishers and barely works for large publishers anymore. You can order my books through the large bookstores all day long though. However, they don't get any more of a discount than anyone else. So absolutely no reason to buy anywhere else than straight from my publisher at:

Black Bed Sheet Books

DID YOU KNOW that because I have so many readers from one particular targeted market of Christians that I had my books approved by Spring Arbor so those targeted "Christian" bookstores could carry my books as Spring Arbor suggested they would? Didn't work though. Large "Christian" bookstores only order books for their store that they feel doesn't offend their target market. Not only will they not order my books, even though they've been approved, but if someone orders it through them, the book is sent straight to the customers home and the customer has to pay shipping. So I had my books unapproved as I don't play that! Again, just another reason to purchase my books at:

Black Bed Sheet Books

DID YOU KNOW that even if I write something here today that inspires you to go straight to my publisher and order my books and you do so in mass and even in numbers greater than any best-selling author as sold books before, I'll not make the New York Times best-sellers list as that list is compiled only of books that sell to bookstores and not customers? And guess who won't buy my books for their store? That's right, large bookstores and most Independent stores only do so on consignment and in small numbers because they can't afford to do anything else. So PLEASE, for the love of GOD and all that is right and good, or all that is bad and evil whichever is your preference, DO NOT BUY MY BOOKS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN FROM:

Black Bed Sheet Books

DID YOU KNOW that so far I've lost more money than I could ever hope to make back because none of y'all believe the publishing industry is the way I say it is. Can't afford to lose much more. If you don't move fast and buy my damn books you're going to be stuck reading authors such as Meyer and Rowling for the rest of your days. If nothing else that nightmare scenario should spark you into action. At least 75% of the publishing world is made up of Small Published Authors. It stands to reason that this is where some of the best authors are as well. Wouldn't it be neat if you could actually get their books and Small Publishers and authors could actually make money selling them? Think about that when you go to bed at night and happy nightmares.
