Review & Description

In the concluding volume of Stargazer, Marni, Elora, Sophie and their new-found robot friend finally reach the distant tower they spotted earlier in their adventure. Expecting to find help at the tower, the girls are stunned to discover that it is not only old and heavily damaged, but also clearly abandoned. As the friends are dealing with their disappointment and starting to plan their next move, they suddenly find themselves surrounded by an odd assortment of little creatures, similar to the robot. While not necessarily the help the girls wanted, the silent but friendly alien friends are nonetheless welcome companions. Once inside the ruined tower, the girls make a few discoveries, ranging from curious to downright ominous. While Elora goes off on her own, looking for answers to her own questions, Sophie and Marni are convinced that many of the answers they need can be found on the upper levels of the tower, on the other side of a long-ago landslide of rubble and boulders. With the return of the monster that threatened them at the start of their adventure, the girls must unite to face their fears and fight for their lives. Can the power of friendship and imagination get them safely home? And does their magical quest have a fairytale ending? Read more

Review & Description

Another action-packed issue starring the longest-running female super-team in history!! Start off with that rambunctious RAD, who returns to bedevil her mother, FF head honcho MS. VICTORY in "My Own Worst Enemy". A revenge-seeking madman engineers a battle royale between the two distaff titans that may costs BOTH of their lives- and what might it's conclusion portend? Then, picking up the thread of last issue's mysterious events, NIGHTVEIL suddenly finds herself at the gravesite of The HAUNTED HORSEMAN, confronted by a new enemy- The BLUE BULLETEER!?! Then, TARA FREMONT gets back to her jungle roots in a sequel to a story that appeared in FF #128, as she gets the upper hand on a band of murderous poachers in "Silence Falls on Jungle Island". And although we know (based on last issue's events) that SHE-CAT has disappeared, she's in action here in a short feature from another time & place titled "It Was Just Another Night". But that's not all, as the second half of the comic continues with the flip-book mini-feature we debuted last issue with GARGATARAMA-THE COMIC BOOK #2!! Just turn the book over, flip past the great Silvano back/flip cover, and read three more great Good Girl Art stories, all with the GTS theme: GARGANTA herself leads off in "Off To The Races", as a daring robbery at a NASCAR race is foiled single-handedly by Big G in spectacular, size-changing action!! Then, one-time giant villainess Marla Allison returns in "Attack Of The 5' 6" Woman". Finally, The FEMFORCE themselves come up against their worst nightmare-- a GIANT SIZED STELLA STARGAZE in "Terror On A Tear!!", written by Xizor and drawn by Silvano. More than 40 gages of excitement, over seven different stories!! 48 pages, black & white with color covers, standard comic book size & format, saddle-stitched Read more

Hometown Kelly and the Gizmo Team (Kindle Edition)

Hometown Kelly and the Gizmo Team
Hometown Kelly and the Gizmo Team (Kindle Edition)
By Sharon L Reddy

Review & Description

Science Fiction; avant-garde, context definition below.
Novella length, 36,000 words, about 150 paperback pages

How many times have you seen, "This isn't like any story you've read before?"  Do you believe it?  Would you like to make a wager?  Download the sample.  Make me prove it.

It was Hell and always had been, but the only other choice was dead and he didn't get to make that one either. He'd worked not to wish he'd died with his parents in the accident he'd been too young to remember. He was alive and they weren't. Because they weren't, he was so rich he was kept alive. As long as he was, others had control of the wealth and used it, in his name of course, to make more wealth.  They wielded the power it gave them, also in his name.  They  didn't know he was there. No one did.

But someone did know there was someone trapped inside the work of art, preserved for the power of wealth it gave those who controlled a corporation. A daring rescue, surprising proof and a unique town that decided he was theirs, miracles do happen.

The working title of this little piece (about 180 paperback pages) was "I always loved comic books." It was fun and someday there will be more adventures of Kelly, Jim and Gizmo's team.

This is on all my book pages.  Do read it once.  You need to know this stuff to decide if the twenty years I've been writing for this stage of e-publishing is going to be a blast, and wow, there's a lot.

I write for an under-served market.  Will others like my work?  Yes, but they aren't really wishing for something that's not available.  Or not this something.  There really isn't anything else like my work out there.  If there had been, I'd have found it.  I want action-adventure that never slows down and engages me intellectually too.  I want superheroes who are eloquent and brilliant.  I want characters who sound like they've got an incredible education and wisdom from 'immortals,' who aren't cases of arrested development that haven't learned anything since they were 20. I want books I have to read more than once to get everything in them out of them.  I want societies that don't have any missing pieces.  Traders who think about profit margin, and guard captains who think about needing to use the toilet and wish the dignitaries would, please, go into the meeting room. To get it, I had to write it.

Raven's Reviews, (members.fortunecity.com/arwen_e/pz/sharonr.html) 1999,
Raven, Introduction:
"Reddy writes distant-future sci-fi with a heavy emphasis on romance, relationships, and psychology. Since her material is published only in electronic format, she has a unique, fast-paced style that lacks most of the usual descriptions that slow readers down in traditional books. The dialogue contains the information you need to know who is speaking and what the action is, somewhat like a radio show with occasional moments of narration. This allows one to read almost as fast as one can think; it also lets Reddy pack the plot action and character development of a trilogy into the space of one long book.

Yes, these books are romantic brain-candy, but they're fun. If you like almost any kind of men at all, you'll like hers- they're all gorgeous, as well as sensitive, brooding, boyish, powerful, passionate, and charming. Male authors have long had a monopoly on portraying gender relations in space, creating myths of the gallant future knight who clearly seperates his fighting from his women. Reddy doesn't hold with that. She also doesn't hold with timid women who wait to be rescued. Her heroines are in keeping with the modern world- protectors of those they care about no matter what it takes."

Raven, Review, Heroes need a Captain:
"To describe the plot, I would have to write a paragraph per chapter."

Raven, thank you.  You too, Dragon.  You did a great service to us all, treating e-published equally on your site.  No, I won't let you correct the typos.  That site is an historical document, too. Read more

The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir (Hardcover)

The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir
The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir (Hardcover)
By Michael Uslan

Review & Description

Is any superhero cooler than Batman? He's a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In this fully illustrated memoir, author Michael Uslan recalls his journey from early childhood fandom through to the decades he spent on a caped crusade of his own: to bring Batman to the silver screen as the dark, serious character he was at heart. Uslan's story traces his path from the wilds of New Jersey to the limelight of Hollywood, following his work as producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton's 1989 re-envisioning to 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. Through it all, he helped to create one of the most successful pop culture franchises of all time. Read more

Review & Description

"I found this novel to be extremely humorous and well written, and Rodden's explanations of toon life and abilities is fascinating"
- A Book Vacation

"I think you have created a very colourful, engaging story with a wonderful undercurrent of humour, which made me smile, particularly the exchanges between your characters."
- youwriteon.com review

"Every paragraph [is] either a parable, or maybe nothing at all, other than the vagaries of a creative imagination. The beauty is, we don't know, and so must keep reading."
- authonomy.com review

Toonopolis is a cartoon world. Gemini is transported to this world and becomes a reluctant hero, striving to save Toonopolis from a shadowy figure.

"One of the most interesting twists on the book's concept is that the cartoons in Toonopolis exist in the same realm as humans, and are permanently linked to them...The bond between cartoon creations and sentient beings is a recurring and interesting theme that separates Toonopolis from other cartoon-based works, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
- Christopher Troilo, avault.com

Often compared with other fantasy books (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz), movies (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The NeverEnding Story), cartoons (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs) and video games (Comix Zone, The Bard's Tale), Toonopolis: Gemini still manages to stand apart as wholly original, yet vaguely familiar, to readers.

"Just when you think that it's all been said, seen and done in the imaginary world - you come up with a winner."

THREE BOOKS IN ONE A TRIPLE HELPING OF GARFIELD HUMOR
MEANS THREE TIMES THE FUN!

He used to be perfect, but now he’s even better! Garfield, the fat cat with the super sized ego, is back in the spotlight, dissing his dimwitted owner Jon – even pilfering his pants. Some cats chase mice; Garfield prefers to take legal action. When down on the farm, the city kitty puts up with-and puts down-Jon and his barnyard brother. No wonder Garfield’s often in a bad mood.

But no matter what, he’s always in the mood for food!

The GARFIELD FAT CAT 3-PACK series collects the GARFIELD comic-strip compilation books in a new, full-color format. Garfield may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the same: his enormous appetite for food and fun. So enjoy some super sized laughs with the insatiable cat, because too much fun is never enough!

Review & Description

Art imitating life. That's what happens in Lynn Johnston's perennially popular comic strip, For Better or For Worse. By reflecting on her own family and experiences, she created the Pattersons: Elly, John, Michael, Elizabeth, and April, along with grandparents, grandchildren, friends, and coworkers and the everyday situations they deal with.

In Never Wink at a Worried Woman, life is progressing for each character. Elly and John tenuously think of retirement while still being preoccupied parents of a preteen. Michael and Deanna grow into their roles as new parents while Michael's career gets a new boost. Elizabeth takes more steps to adulthood, by beginning her student teaching and facing the fact that Anthony is marrying another. April is racing to turn 13, busy with her band and also helping out at Lilliput's, where she makes a painful discovery about a coworker. Add in Grampa Jim's quest to maintain his aging dignity and baby Meredith's burgeoning curiosity, and you get a full dose of life.

For Better or For Worse has appealed to readers for more than 25 years. It runs in more than 2,000 newspapers in the U.S., Canada, and 20 other countries and is translated into eight languages besides English. Read more
