Gateway to Fourline (The Fourline Trilogy Book 1) - Book Review


4.0 out of 5 stars Super fun alternate universe fantasy, December 14, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gateway to Fourline (The Fourline Trilogy Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
I will be getting the next book. It was a fun read, and I enjoyed the alternate universe/dimension/whatever. I especially liked that no attempt was made to explain it at all. It just is.

The female protagonist didn't become a hero overnight with super amazing battle skills. Unless you suddenly become a vampire or shifter and with it the attendant superpowers that's not believable.

Mostly she just runs. Runs away. Sneaks around. Puts herself in harm's way. The duozi will probably take a higher priority in the next book though.

First of all, Book Two comes out in a few weeks. Second of all, I want Book Two. Thirdly, I will most likely pay full price for Book Two if it's not on Prime.

Our human female was gently courted by the group from the alternate universe, and trained as little as possible for a mission back to the other universe. Her main goal? To run and deliver a message. Despite her lack of belief, and the secrets they try to hide from her, she does okay, leading to another mission, this one much more risky and requiring some serious spy action. Let's just say I loved it. A lot. A hint of forbidden romance, possible triangle, and some possible mutation action coming up in Book Two. See if you can read this one before #2 comes out, okay?

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Film Festival History

A very long time ago when I lived in Kansas City, I attended a workshop on how to write a screenplay. At the time I was already editing my own fanzine that I later sold for an outrageous profit. I was also writing regularly for a handful of local magazines including New Age and Health topics, like the kind you find in massage studios. I did quite well and kept in touch with the instructor, who was a Hollywood Reader - the people that pre-screen submissions to studios. I wrote a screenplay and shopped it around some, getting a call from a VP at Viacom at my job in landscaping. I was completely and totally unprepared for that call and botched it terribly. I kept that bug in the back of my mind for a few years, and later when a company moved me to Utah for a tech job, I ended up hanging on the periphery of the Indie Film crowd. I went to a very professional Short Film Fest in Nevada, and decided I would make one for a Utah fest. The topic of the short was supposed to be something ...
