- Sanders’ Starfish
About Sanders’ Starfish:Dr. John Sanders is about to begin his career as a clinical psychologist. Full of optimism, he believes he can make a difference and is eager to provide hope to a group the world has deemed hopeless. Yet in John’s quest to offer those in his care a second chance, he embarks on his own journey of self-discovery. In his search clear answers become scrambled confusion, while the unimaginable truth is trapped in a complex web.
“Writing is good quality, action is fast paced, a convincing well thought out plot is easy to follow, dialogue used effectively moves the story along. Sanders’ Starfish is not a light hearted little tale. Richly rendered surroundings, commanding stimulus, story line twists, snappy exchanges, hair raising excitement and satisfyingly puzzling uncertainty pack the pages of author Allred’s initial work with mesmerizing reader appeal. With a razor sharp, centered narrative; Allred gives a picture of life in a residential care unit few are aware exists. Flourishing with well rounded characters in this remarkably directed anecdote of deception, underhanded conniving and unexpected disputes, the book has something to please every reader. ” -Reviewed by: Molly’s Reviews/molly martin

Volume 2 of the Mattie Spyglass series, is a time-travel mythic tale centered around a Babylonian mystery and the Pandora’s box of evil that arises when the Spyglass, an ancient entity is again awakened to power. This book deepens the aspects of wizardy, Jungian myth and magic. Mattie in releasing souls from Nineveh on the 2nd Stone meant for the underworld into heaven has thrown time into Chaos and incurred the wrath of the Dark Master Marduk. The trio of innocence in the form of 11-year olds Mattie, Eddie, a wannabe warrior and Geeta an introspective Indian girl and their guide, the old wizard Biddle journey to the Third Stone on the Path of the Virtuous. Marduk, holds one of the Tablets of Destiny, that of Darkness and seeks the other Tablet to seize all power over the universe. The Hidden Sister who holds the second Tablet of Destiny, that of Light, has been lost. But her whereabouts are known to the Spyglass. Thus, Marduk seeks to capture the Spyglass, and sets his evil servant the Snake Uri Gneezy (and twin of Herman Biddle) to do so.
Herman Biddle decides that in order to protect the trio from the snake Uri Gneezy holder of the Black Book of Magic and the satanic Marduk, he will keep Mattie, Eddie, and Geeta trapped in a bubble within the space between two seconds. Biddle leaves to find his ally Professor Wigglesworth to travel the Path to rescue Paddy and Dottie, Mattie’s parents. However, the bubble breaks, and Eddie, Geeta and Mattie are transported in time, find themselves in the basement of the British Museum where they discover Gilgamesh the Seventh King of Uruk, who has laid trapped within the tablets. Gilgamesh befriends Eddie a young muk-tab-lu or warrior, as he is able to handle the magic spear that Gilgamesh holds. Soon they are in the ancient underworld forest of Humawa where danger lurks in the form of the Grim Reaper.
Additional plot lines follow the title of the book, the cruel Beast Ashurnasirpal, who is cursed by greed and ego; the tale of Bloody Sunday and the rise of the Stal, Prince of Demons. Mattie and the Spyglass are locked in an angry battle with one another. The Spyglass in turn decides that she has to kill Mattie and find a new soul. Geeta cannot help Mattie, though she seeks without success the counsel of her old ThaTha, as they find themselves caught in a flurry of released spirits of the death from the underworld, the effect of Eddie’s living hands holding Deaths’ scythe.
The story of Biddle and Wigglesworth and their wizardry is further developed. There is an unleashing of the forces of evil caused by the Chaos, in the form of the forgotten gods of old, they who were defeated by Marduk and plunged into obscurity for the eons. With their rise, and the rise of the battling Gneezy and the Beast, Mattie is targeted on all sides by evil. Book two offer psychological and philosophical insights into how anger divides and provides a fruitful ground for evil to flourish as it ends on a cliffhanger note.Mattie Spyglass and the Curse of Ashurnasirpal by Shoba Sreenivasan is a post from Awesome Gang

- Macadamian Pliers
About Macadamian Pliers:Macadamian Pliers is an unpleasant man with a hideous plan. He’s just sold a house to Emmet’s Peak’s newest family, and they’re about to find out it’s haunted. He made it that way.
In the first volume of a trilogy, Cherry and Frank Raine find themselves in a battle of wits and nerves against both the ghosts in their new home and the man who put them there. Cherry, physically and emotionally scarred by a car crash, must draw from within herself the strength to confront her fears and save her family. Frank must choose between taking responsibility for once or being led astray by firebug Jack, a local boy with a dark sense of fun. As the haunting escalates, Cherry discovers that other homes have been affected by the strange-shaped and evil-hearted Pliers, but what chance do a couple of kids have against such a man?

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
Prologue : My parents met. (Prologues are never much use.)Chapter One: I am born. The world blinks.
Chapter Two: I toddle. I am introduced to the works of Richard Scarry. The illustrations burn themselves into my tiny mind. This is followed by an intense interest in Winnie the Pooh and the Radio Times.
Chapter Three: Beanos and Dandys and tape recorders enter my life. I read the comic strips aloud, record these performances. Leads to writing my own stories, which are mostly about spaceships or murderous snakes.
Chapter Four: Santa brings a Commodore 64. Writing is forgotten.
Chapter Five: Teenage nerdism strikes. Dragonlance Chronicles are read. An attempt is made to copy them. Results are dreadful.
Chapter Six: Off to university to study ancient history and archaeology. Hat and whip not received. Compaints about this are ignored. University mostly a waste of time, apart from hours spent writing apocalyptic horror-comedy on 386 PC. It’s great.
Chapter Seven: Apocalyptic horror-comedy sent out to literary agents. None are interested. Novel not great. Mostly a waste of time.
Chapter Eight: A long period filled with much writing and many submissions and plenty of rejection letters. Decide I can’t stand prologues as they’re never much use.
Chapter Nine: Short stories accepted by Polluto, Voluted Tales and Kzine. Prompts a vigorous interest in Kindle Direct Publishing. First release is Macadamian Pliers, YA horror with an emphasis on creepy, spooky and other ooky things.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
One of my first memories is dangling over the arm of our living room sofa telling myself a post-apocalyptic survival tale in which my mother and I were the last two people on earth. It was so fun, I never stopped telling stories. In high school, I faked being ill so I could stay home to work on a novel about a nanny who falls in love with her boss’ bad boy nephew.As an adult I earned a college degree, got married, and had a child, but I never stopped writing. It only got more fun. I wrote through my lunch breaks at work. I wrote on the treadmill at the gym. Eventually, I had dozens of short stories, novellas, and full-length novels piling up on thumb drives and in plastic tubs.
Now, I’m ready to share my stories with you, starting with The Dark Caster Series and the Red Plague Trilogy. I hope you love reading them as much as I loved writing them!

Zeke is a homeless guy with an exotic metal plate in his head, living rough in a backstreet. Zirkos is an alien who needs the plate to rebuild his ship’s AI.
Zirkos should just take the plate and go, but instead finds a way of achieving his own ends without harming Zeke. His actions kickstart a chain of events that will dramatically change the course of Earth’s future.
The Nubl are an artificial space-faring race with a ‘hive’ intellect who abhor biological sentience. They will eradicate humanity with extreme prejudice.
Together Zeke and Zirkos have to find a way of preparing the planet Earth for their arrival and discover a way to defeat them. No easy task especially with their own homegrown megolomaniac attempting to overthrow everything they have already achieved.
This book is available as a paperback via Creataspace and will also be converted to an audio book in the next month on ACX.
