OLD HAT, by Sue Walker:

ADDICTION SAYS…, by Lorelie Rozzano:

Watch Video Pitch for the Novel LIZARDIAN:

Get to know writer Melissa R. Mendelson:

1. What is your story about?

Lizardian is a Horror/Sci-Fi Thriller that delves deep into the concept of being human and exploits the fear of evolution. This story is only available through Channillo.com and is updated weekly. All subscriptions are being donated to The Leary Firefighters Foundation.

2. Why should people know this story?

With the success of SyFy’s new show, Killjoys and TNT’s finished hit, Falling Skies and the promising upcoming Sci-Fi show, The Colony on USA Network, there is definitely a demand for Science-Fiction and variations of it. SyFy’s Twelve Monkeys and Continuum follow that story line of going back in time and changing the past, but FOX’s Sleepy Hollow takes a man from the past and puts him in a future consumed of dark magic and things that go bump in the night…

Watch Video Pitch Logline for GLASS SKIES OVER HOME:

Get to know writer Melissa R. Mendelson:

1. What is the theme of your story?

“Glass Skies Over Home” bites at the heels of “The Outer Limits,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “Amazing Stories,” blending three lives, three stories together in Supernatural and Horror with a twist of Mythology.

2. Why do people need to know about your story?

These days, we are plagued with too much Reality Television, dismal movies and television shows, and technologic gizmos. Anything different is a gamble, but seeing how the CW television show, “Supernatural” is still going strong after a decade, it shows that we still crave different. We want to be entertained, chilled and thrilled, and “I aim to misbehave.”

3. How long have you been writing stories?

I really began writing short stories, the notebook stories back in 1996, senior year of high school…

Waken Dream is about a man that finds himself trapped in an alternate reality. We always wondered about living another life, but what if we can’t escape the one that finds us?

2. Why should people know about yourself and your story?

Science-Fiction seems to be in high demand today with the return of Terminator and Jurassic Park and new creations such as Lucy and Self/less.

I have been writing stories since high school, but in high school, I was only writing Horror and Science-Fiction.

1. What is your story about?

The six-part novel serial, “A Life Singular”, tells the story of a hugely successful rock star writing his autobiography after the fatal shooting of his wife by a bullet meant for him. It is a journey back through their spectacular life, exploring what it takes to triumph over mental illness, the choices made between right and wrong, and how one affects the other.

“We’re all in a minority of one.” Everyone has a life singular; one, unique, extraordinary.

2. Why should people know about yourself and your story?

I’m a 53-year-old Londoner who has travelled the world as an IT professional, having settled in Australia in 1999 and now living in Melbourne, “the world’s most liveable city”! I have suffered from chronic clinical depression…

Fei Ji is Mandarin for “Flying Machine.” It chronicles the adventures of a young Chinese American who is recruited by the President of China to take a Curtiss biplane to China in 1911 in hopes of being the first pilot and building the first aerial force there.

2. Why should people know about yourself and your story?

People should know about Fei Ji it is a fascinating allegory of pioneering events in China, just as the stories of the exploits of pioneers like the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss fascinate Americans.

Buy the Novel on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Killed-Honor-Bright-Patricia-Hughes-ebook/dp/B00JDPT5YK

Get to know writer Patricia Hughes:

1. What is your story about?

Authorities in the new Irish Free State harassed and murdered Honor Bright before maligning her as a prostitute and acquitting her assassin.

The newly founded Garda Siochana spread deceitful rumours and coerced witnesses to conceal Honor’s true identity and the real reason for her death.

False evidence, perjury and the silencing of potential witnesses led to huge public demonstrations, but newspapers were coerced into printing only authorised stories or else face the consequences from the Garda or Ministry of Justice.

Find out why political support moved away from the Free State towards an independent Republic from 1926, why so many were killed or fled Ireland, and what part William Butler and his wife George Yeats played in the process.

The bond of a father and daughter is special. When Jules’ father asks her to come stay with him because he’s terminally ill, she goes for the remarkable opportunity to really know her father. She never dreamed he had liberated a concentration camp, dealt cards to Bugsy Siegel, or saved the life of a Black Panther. Wings of Hope takes you on a road trip through the memories of a man making peace with his life through his conversations with his daughter. Teaching her that death is sometimes the most heartbreakingly beautiful part of life.

Hope is the last gift of a father to his daughter–the power to reach for her dreams.

1. What is the theme of your story?

A man suffocating in midlife crisis becomes obsessed about discovering a way to feel alive one last time.

2. Why do people need to know about your story?

While the BDSM elements in the book are realistic and an important part of the protagonist’s search to rediscover his sexuality, he & She is not a BDSM-genre novel. Loneliness, aging, alcoholism, the feeling of being increasingly disconnected from life, those are the elements that fuel his obsession.

On and off for decades.

Casablanca.
