Featured Pre-Order: Part Time Superhero: Antihero Fantasy with Dark Humor by Nathan Schivley

Holden Collier hates superheroes. Unfortunately, he is one. Selfish, crass and intentionally anti-social, Holden avoids people at all costs until he is found by a clandestine group of hero collectors called “the syndicate”, who pit individuals like Holden against a cast of supervillains, all for sport. But there is an escape—an enigmatic figure called the lantern, who has the power to grant Holden his release from the syndicate. However, the freedom that the lantern offers is not what Holden expects. In reality, it’s much, much worse.

Part Time Superhero is a raunchy, mind-bending tale featuring a foul-mouthed, fourth-wall-breaking antihero, several “what the…?” twists and just a smidge of good, old-fashioned graphic violence. The book is in the same vein as the Deadpool movies and finishes with an Inception-style ending that will make the reader re-examine everything they thought they knew. Fans of The Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson as well as superhero and comic book fans will enjoy this new, fast-paced novel. Chances are, you’ll read it all in one sitting!

#SaharasMusings – The Beginning

Do You Like To Talk About Yourself GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

I’m not the type of person to talk about myself.  Unlike my sisters.  Ha Ha.  Partly because I was extremely introverted when younger, and also because my dad was a firm believer of never airing your laundry in public.  So, that was kinda ingrained in me.  Don’t talk about yourself. 

Then, I decided to become an author.  As an author, we’re told that we HAVE to share ourselves with our readers.  That they want to know us and our thought processes.  Really?  I was a reader way before I published a book and never needed to know anything about my favorite authors.  Maybe I’m strange that way?  Who knows.

On the other hand, who really cares what I think?  I know I don’t most of the time.  But after Julie and I started Norns, it became even more important, I guess?  So, we started ‘corners’ in our newsletter and came up with cutesy names like Julie’s Jewels, Sahara’s Saviors, and Karen’s Korner to feature more of our personal side.  I encourage you to join our newsletter as it’s packed with amazing book deals and Julie does a wonderful job putting it together. 

 

Sometimes it’s hard coming up with ideas for the newsletter.  What do I talk about?  So guess what I did?  I told Julie, Hey, I’m gonna start a new blog series called #SaharasMusings.  Say what?

Yeah, you know, like I don’t already have the time or know what to say, but I’ll just start blogging about shit I think of when sitting on my patio while sipping a few beers.  Which is where THIS idea came from.

Maybe I’ll be inspired enough to finish the two books I’ve been dickering around with like forever.  So stay tuned.  You’ll never know what I’ll start spouting about.

Featured Book: Rescue: Book Three of the Rim Chronicles by Edita A. Petrick 

It’s not yet time to exhale….

A child that should not have been born in the Rimworlds, is hidden behind the impenetrable wall that screens the dominion of frontier gods from the tribal factions. Shortly before they were slaughtered by New Hebrides pirates, baby’s parents named her Miranda. She is the hereditary princess of Bollidor, and a Duchess on her father’s side. But the little girl doesn’t know any of this. Her caretakers named her Kitaya. It is a name that fits the frontier—primitive, raw and savage. Yet it fits her far better than those other aristocratic titles of the DeWynter Dynasty.

The blockade of the passage to the Rimworlds lasts thirteen years. Then finally, the Confederation manages to push the pirates back to their region in New Hebrides. And Admiral DeWynter, who had buried the mother part of herself for many years, allows it to surface. She sends a single ship through the newly liberated passage. The captain has orders to ascertain what happened to Commander Daniel DeWynter and his wife. There is little hope that any of the Allied personnel stationed on Synoor at the time of the attack, survived.

Kitaya’s caretakers would prefer to keep her on Synoor. It’s the only home she’s ever known. However, something so extraordinary happens that the frontier gods have no choice but to return the child to those who came to look for her parents.

Keenly aware that they are releasing someone who should have never existed to join the human ranks, the frontier gods worry they may have doomed galactic humanity. The only consolation they have is that when risks seem to outweigh the benefits, the Universe seeks to re-balance itself. Because somewhere on the other end of the galaxy, another little girl stands on the lip of a horrendous crater, trying to understand the nature of the tragedy that orphaned her at such a young age. And this little girl understands the meaning of revenge only too well….

I guess I’d forgotten that each month has it’s own special ‘birth flower’.  For July it’s the larkspur.  It symbolizes light and pure fun during the warm summer months. Man, warm is right.  🥵🥵  As a side note, I’m thinking of starting a blog series called #SaharasMusings which will be random thoughts/ideas that pop into my head during the month.  Might be fun.  Might not be.  🤣😂

Sahara’s Book Review of Hell Spawn (St. Tommy N.Y.P.D. Book 1) by Declan Finn 

DESCRIPTION: 

My name is Officer Thomas Nolan, and I am a saint.

I can smell evil. I show mercy to the lesser criminals – the desperate. Even those I’ve put behind bars seem to like me. But now there’s a serial killer bringing darkness beyond imagination to my city. I can smell his stench a mile away. But how can I prove it?

How do you do forensics on a killer possessed by a demon?

 

MY REVIEW:

I was leary about picking up this book because I don’t believe in the cultism of religion, especially Catholics.  But, I love a good horror thriller so took the chance.  And, I’ll try to put my prejudice aside.  Something the author should’ve done.

This story definitely fit the bill for dark and gruesome.  His descriptions of the crime scenes were well depicted.  You could almost smell the evil that Nolan did.  It’s also action packed with lots of encounters so it was mostly a fast paced read.

The characters were okay.  But, no one I could really relate too.  Mostly because they’re one dimensional and Nolan was a real jerk.  I consider myself a moderate conservative and he disgusted me with his extreme right-wing ideology.  So, reader beware.  If you’re Pro-Choice, you do not want to read this book.

Aside from the overly political nature of this story, my other complaint is the weak storyline and how actions and deeds were done that were so unbelievable.  The NY DA would never speak to a suspect that way or jump to conclusions without some shred of physical evidence.  Then, there was the lack of editing which kept throwing me out of the story.

I can’t say I enjoyed the book and I felt like I needed to flush out my brain afterwards.  However, I can see where readers who are extreme right leaning and Pro-Life will love the story.  I give it 3-stars.
