Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

  1. Tyger Pants – Cretin the Cruel by Royston Wood

    Front-Cover-as-JPG-adj-for-thumbnail-size-599-wideAbout Tyger Pants – Cretin the Cruel by Royston Wood:

    Written in the first person, present tense, designed to sit the reader right behind Tyger’s eyes, right in the middle of the action.

    It’s National Take Your Kids to Work Day and Tyger Pants, a typical 10 year old boy, should be looking forward to a day off school. But unfortunately his dad isn’t a cool fire fighter and his mum isn’t a policewoman. His dad’s a librarian – DULL!

    Dull that is until his dad is called away to an emergency meeting, leaving his iRate 3 phone lying on the desk. Tyger can’t help but fiddle…

    What Tyger doesn’t know is that what he thinks is just a cool phone, is actually an Editor: a top secret device used by the Library Service to keep the plots and characters in the stories of all the books in the library in order. Books may just sit around on shelves but the stories have lives of their own and they all take place in Fictonia. If the Librarians didn’t keep a constant watch the stories would soon all leak into each other, characters would go missing and bad guys would win. In a word: chaos.

    Before Tyger knows what’s happening he’s cast into a world of werewolves, dragons and spell casting armadillos.

    Author Bio:
    As a child I was a reluctant reader. I didn’t see it as reluctance, I just didn’t see the point: there were comics and a picture is worth a thousand words right?

    I am now an avid reader and regret missing out on so many good stories as a child. Fortunately, with children of my own, I’m now managing to catch up, reading stories to them every night before bed.

    There isn’t anything quite like a good book to let you escape from the world for a while. True, films are great, but they don’t engage you as much as a book. A well written book will get your imagination working, filling the story with colour and energy: a film is a depiction of somebody else’s imagination.

    In fact, I enjoy reading stories to my children so much, I started to write my own. And bearing in mind my own reluctance to read as a child I have written them to be as engaging as possible, to draw the reluctant reader into a land of imagination and discovery.

  2. A Dignified Exit by John J Asher

    ADE-WebAbout A Dignified Exit by John J Asher:

    Monroe Colson, a successful children’s book illustrator living in small-town Texas, baffles family and friends when he unceremoniously announces he’s moving to Mexico, ostensibly to paint.

    In Mexico, the true nature of his mysterious behavior not only comes to light, but takes an unexpected turn when he runs into a vibrant young American woman who has been abandoned, penniless, by her fiancé. When she discovers the true reason he’s in Mexico, the question is argued: Is it noble or is it selfish to go away to die alone rather than become a burden on family and friends?

    This emotionally powerful and often humorous story with its controversial theme is a poignant testament to love and the resilience of the human heart.

    Author Bio:
    Asher grew up in rural West Texas. Worked grunt jobs for Dallas Power & Light, US Gypsum, Bruno’s shipyard, and Gulf Oil pipeline. Moved to NYC and worked as a layout artist for JCPenney catalog while attending the School of Visual Arts nights. Taught at the Famous Artists Schools in Westport, CT, and was a staff illustrator at Weekly Reader until he quit to freelance. After his house burned down with all of his paintings, he designed and built a two-story 2300 sq. ft. house on the old foundation, doing all the work himself. Some years later, Asher moved to Austin, Texas, where he has done some acting, both movies and commercials, but spends most of his time tinkering with words. At the moment, he’s working on a huge saga that ranges from the Midland, Texas, oil patch in the late 1950s, to Dallas, New York and the art world of the ’60s, southern Louisiana, and the seedy underbelly of Acuña, Mexico.
