Thanks bud!

Nervous but excited. If anyone here wants a digital copy in exchange for an Amazon review, say so and I'll send one over.

Hey guys. 

My novel, Valley of Embers, is up for the STABBY Award over at Reddit Fantasy in two categories: Best Artwork (for the cover) and Best Independent Novel of 2016. 

Would love the support if anyone wanted to toss me a vote or two.

I've been reading a few Figher autobiographies like Ronda's, Hunts, Penns, Liddels, GSP & Lebens I say the best reads were Mark Hunts & Chris Lebens

@skelliher

Not my genre, but congrats on the book. If the reviews are any indication, it sounds like an excellent book.

I have been reading recently a book known as The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.  I personally recommend it.  It is a great piece of Russian literature.

Been getting back into reading lately and almost have this one finished up. Really interesting stuff got put onto Han**** after listening to him on the Rogan podcast a few times.

Hmmm... I've been working on a Novel for a few years now under a working title (under stars) which is kind of a series of cinema verites in the format of Dubliners by Joyce. I've never been much of a fan of grand linear narratives...stories with beginnings, middles and ends. The whole thing bores me. Well, at least it does when I do it. This is probably why I prefer poetry (contemporary) because its ideas reduced to their distillate forms. The problem I have with Novels is the all the filler, and I struggle to write that way. Ultimately you can only write to your strengths, arrange whatever pieces come your way. 

Everybody is ripping off someone though, that said. For me it's Kafka, and Anne Sexton.

Books be so wordy.

Currently in the middle of Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut.  It's weird but interesting. Still waiting for Doors of Stone.
