Stephanie Meyer to continue "Twilight" with new four-book series? (SPOILERS)

Guys, I came across this tonight and just HAD to share it with everyone. Word has just dropped that Stephanie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" series, will announce soon that she plans to release four more books in the "Twilight" series over the next four years. The first book, "Midnight Sun" , is the completed work that was so infamously leaked in 2008, in which the original events from the first book are retold through the eyes of Edward Cullen, the vampiric soulmate of Bella Swan. ( Source ). " Writing chapter one, "First Sight," from Edward's point of view was an exciting experience; I actually had my pulse racing as I typed. When I finished, I was truly pleased with my creation. Here was the other side of the story that no one knew. Here was the truth of what Edward had been through." The next book, previously unannounced, will be titled "White Nights" , and will pick up the story of the Cullen's a...

Book Review-Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble By: D. Robert Pease

I've decided to do something a little different for my review of Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble. As this book is geared towards readers in the Middle School Grade level, I decided to see if my 10 year old son Skyler (Grade 6) would like to offer up his views on it as well. His review is located just after mine, and I can't stress enough how proud I am of what he came up with, he really did an incredible job. But without further ado, here is my review for Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble! Let's start this review with what peaked my interest in the novel itself.... Time Travel. Spaceships. I was already hooked when I spoke to D. Robert Pease about reviewing his breakout novel Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble. I wanted to really dig into it because I was curious how a writer would approach the complex concepts of puddle jumping through time on a mission to repopulate the earth centuries after cataclysm. The storyline is of course inspired by that of the famed biblical ...

A public apology to John Locke and Barnes and Noble

I need to begin this post with a confession. I initially sat down to write this piece with a largely uninformed perspective. I had planned to write a long diatribe outlining the shortcomings in the operation of Barnes and Noble (the bookseller) when contrasted against the groundbreaking agreement between the publisher Simon and Schuster and the New York Times Bestseller John Locke. However, before I had progressed through a few hundred words I found myself reassessing what I thought I knew. I saw Barnes and Noble as a stodgy, old school corporation, lacking in new ideas. I saw the things that I disagreed with in their business practices and decided I had a large enough sample to form a well informed opinion. I was wrong, and I am man enough to admit it. While there are still things I wished they did better (or differently), I had something brought to my attention that I was ignorant of at the time. I was prepared to hold my nook e-reader (produced and facilitated by Barnes and Nob...
