Being released on October 28th is the zombie adventure-thriller Eat, Slay, Lutz by Jillian Stone.



The author has taken a few moments from her busy schedule to answer a few questions about her novel.


When did you become interested in storytelling?

I’ve always been interested in telling stories, but I never actually finished writing a book until six years ago.

What was your first book/story published?

AN AFFAIR WITH MR. KENNEDY was published in 2012. It is a historical romantic suspense set in Victorian era London.

What inspired you to write EAT, SLAY, LUZT?

I’ve always wanted to write a zombie book or screenplay. And I’m also weirdly inspired by dystopian action/horror movies like 28 Days Later, The Road Warrior, World War Z.

What character in EAT, SLAY, LUZT is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

The heroine, Lizzy Davis, is probably the most like me. She’s independent, adventurous, and resilient. But she doesn’t recognize those qualities in herself. Half the time, she thinks she’s a baby and a wimp. All the men who meet her know better!

In this sequel to 2010's Alice in Wonderland (and based on the characters by Lewis Carroll), Alice Through The Looking Glass picks up three years later where Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska) has been at sea commanding her late father's ship. When she returns home, she learns that her ex-fiancé, Hamish Asco (played by Leo Bill) had taken over her father's company and is threatening to take her family home as well.

Once again, Alice runs away, but this time she follows the butterfly Absolem (voiced by Alan Rickman in his final performance) through a mirror that takes her to Underland. There she learns that her old friend, the Mad Hatter (played by Johnny Depp), has become homesick after finding a mini-hat he had made when he was a child. It seems his family died during the Attack of the Jabberwocky.

After talking to the White Queen (played by Anne Hathaway), Alice decides to search for Time (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) and try to convince him to travel back in time to save the Mad Hatter's family. Unfortunately, things doesn't go as plan, forcing Alice to steal the Chronosphere and travel through time herself.

Of course the Red Queen (played by Helena Bonham Carter) is never too far behind.

Available now from Atlas Productions is the paranormal Urban fantasy Winged Reaper, book two in the Reaper Series by author Shelley Russell Nolan.


When did you become interested in storytelling?

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love reading books, sneaking off to read whenever I could, and I also loved losing myself in television shows or movies. I would always imagine myself playing a part in the book or the show and when I was sixteen I started creating stories and worlds of my own.

What was your first book/story published?

My first story published was a YA novella, Angel Fire.

What inspired you to write Winged Reaper?

Winged Reaper is book two in my Reaper Series. The first book is Lost Reaper and I started it after a conversation with a friend about what would follow the vampire, werewolf and angel trends. We were naming all sorts of supernatural creatures and when I suggested reapers a line came to me – The first dead body I ever saw was my own – and the seed for the series was born.

What character in Winged Reaper is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

The character least like me is Rhonda, Tyler’s step-mother. While she loves her son, she has no love for her motherless step-daughter. I tend to mother everyone, and if I was ever in the same situation I would shower a step-child with just as much love and affection as my own children.

What is your favorite part in Winged Reaper?

I love the part where Tyler stands up to her father because it shows how much she has matured and is able to accept herself for who she is and not how others see her.

What was the hardest part to write?

Now available to purchase from BadBird Productions is the paranormal thriller The Raveners by author LD Towers.




The author has taken a few moments from her busy schedule to answer a few questions about her novel.



When did you become interested in storytelling?

I became interested in writing as a tween. I was trying to be just like my older sister! Her storytelling really fascinated me, and like many younger siblings, I wanted to be just like my elders. Then I realised I had stories I wanted to share and the rest is history.

What was your first book/story published?

My first book published was Teufel of my Riesa series. While not paranormal at all- it’s a piece of historical fiction set in Germany in the 30’s- I’m still incredibly fond of it.

What inspired you to write The Raveners?

I had this great idea for a ‘vampire’ story- or really a retelling of the whole vampire legend. To be fair- I was going to write something mass market to see if I could catch onto the wave of vampire books and then it turned into something a little more. It has a lot of my thoughts on spirituality and the universe as well. I hope that doesn’t make it sound too heavy?

What character in The Raveners is the most/least like you, and in what ways?

I am probably a lot like Lexa, our heroine. She’s a plus sized military historian- as am I! :) I think if anyone in the book is ‘me’, that would be it.

As for least like me, that would be Ludwig von Gravenreuth. Even though he’s getting his own book soon, we aren’t much alike. He’s a follower. He’s spent his life in service to Karl, our hero, and he’s very content to be in the background.

For the past two months, I have been listening to the new Battlefield Earth: A Saga Of The Year 3000 audiobook. The 44-disc set is produced by Galaxy Audio (Press), the same company that produces the "Stories From The Golden Age" audiobooks.

Battlefield Earth was originally published in 1982, written by the late L.Ron Hubbard. While the novel was a New York Times Bestseller, there was plenty of controversy at time it was released. I'm not going to go into too much details, but it did involved the fact that the author was the founder of Scientology.

Since I'm a Christian, I don't follow Scientology, but I have listened to several of L. Ron Hubbard's "Stories From the Golden Age" over the years. I'm a book lover, so I will pretty much read any book or listen to any audiobook I can get my hands on. Despite my love for reading, I'm not the biggest fan of the science-fiction genre (minus a few Start Trek titles). I became aware of Battlefield Earth about the time the movie adaptation was released in 2000, which is considered one of the worst movies ever made. I rented the movie once on VHS, and I thought it was one of the silliest things I had ever seen.

Due to my distaste for the movie, I had never attempted to read the original 1000+ pages novel. Well, that is until I heard Galaxy Audio was bringing out a new massive audiobook this year, and I thought I would give the novel a try.

When I say massive... I really mean it!
