‘Banning the Bullshit’ Sunday: ’2012: The Fifth World’ by Edward G. Talbot

Well, at least BtB is back in it’s rightful place – on a Sunday (and free of bullshit, I might add).

Sooooo, fellow ebook-eaters, what does this Sunday have in store then?

Hmmn, well, I wanted something different this week. AND I think I have found it.

BUT, as always, I will let you decide. I mean, who am I to pass judgement?

What about this then?

Sometimes, the end of the world needs a little help.

Simon Gray stopped fighting years ago when he left the Army, but the CIA has made him an offer he can’t refuse: the opportunity to take down Guatemalan arms dealer Yum Cimil. Cimil considers himself Maya royalty, and is planning worldwide destruction to usher in the Maya Fifth World on December 21, 2012.

Simon knows all too well the damage Cimil is capable of. This time, it’s stolen nukes and a presidential kidnapping. Decades earlier, it was more . . .personal. Now he’ll get his chance for revenge, but stopping Cimil won’t be enough. Homo sapiens isn’t the only hominid with skin in this game, and Simon must prevent an attack that threatens the very existence of the human race.

Well? Answers to Saffi at… ;-)

Edward G. Talbot have a few books out, you can check them out here and guess what? We have something in common! No, it isn’t that we both write thrillers and a have penchant for t-shirts with humorous slogans (it’s not what you think), but that EGT is a writing partnership, just as SD is. How cool eh? See, two (slightly warped) brains, four hands and one and a half hearts (I’ll leave you to figure that one out) are better than one, even if you DO have to share royalties! ;-)

So, without further ado, ‘cos I know you have things to do, as have I, here’s the link thingymebobs:

Amazon.com

Amazon.fr

Amazon.de

Oh, and before I forget, here’s the pretty cool cover image. *sigh* If I was anymore bullshit free, I’d be writing a regular blog about it! ;-)

 

And so, signing off from yet another post that didn’t mention our sales figures, the publishing industry or what we were drinking in the morning (can vary btw, depending what day of the week it is)… oh, or any of our books! Ho hum, you know where to go for that crap! ;-)

Coming soon to this blog: Scorching-hot summer scribes and flaming fantastical fiction ink-flingers!

Anything Mark can do… ;-)

You may have noticed over on MWi that Mark has been playing host to a wondrous wedge of writing women during June, with ‘Girls just wanna have fun’ on his blog. Phew! What a month that was. If you haven’t already, check it out.

Anyway, not to be outdone by my co-writer and self-titled ‘back end of the Saffina Desforges pantomine horse’ I will be following that with some great writers of my own for the remainder of the summer!

 

The line-up for SMoD&L looks a little bit like this (and in no particular order of greatness):

Lisa Scott

John Hartness

Phillip Chen

Daniel Arenson

Alex Adana

Abiligail Lawrence

…and many more sizzling hot summer scribblers!

So look out for some great guest posts, interviews and general all-round brilliantness coming your way during the summer!

And, if that wasn’t enough for you, once that sunshine has dropped behind the hills for the autumn, SMoD&L will be turning much darker and looking toward Autumn and Hallowe’en with some heavy doses of Paranormal, fantasy and YA fiction.

 

Who knows? We might even bring you some news of the forthcoming Equilibrium trilogy! ;-)

We hope you can join us for the ride.

Aid an Indie writer week #1: Into the Shadows by Karly Kirkpatrick

Ok, I promised that each week I would host a book by a fellow indie-writer on my blog. Here it is, the first one:

Into the Shadows – by Karly Kirkpatrick

(YA Paranormal)

Paivi Anderson has it all—friends, a spot on the varsity basketball
team, wonderful parents, and quite possibly, her first boyfriend.  It
was everything a freshman in high school could ask for.  Her perfect
life begins to crumble when she discovers her name on a list
distributed by a power-hungry presidential candidate. How could anyone
think of Paivi as an Enemy of the State?  Could it be because of her
special powers?  No one was supposed to know about them, but the
mysterious messages in her tater tots say otherwise.  In INTO THE
SHADOWS, Paivi quickly learns who her friends are and is forced into a
reality she didn’t see coming.
