GREAT REVIEW BY DONA FOX FOR - JAMES REBORN - BY TERRI DELCAMPO

https://www.amazon.com/James-Reborn-Terri-DelCampo-ebook/dp/B01IW69888/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469285520&sr=1-1&keywords=james+reborn#nav-subnav

Dona Fox, a fantastic horror author, and one of my Women In Horror, wrote a super review for James Reborn, by Terri DelCampo.

Dona Fox
5.0 out of 5 stars
Truly Frightening! Will shake you to your core.

Terri DelCampo is a fabulous writer with a diabolical mind. In James Reborn each new revelation, each unveiling of another, darker level to which the human species is capable of sinking, brought a fresh shock of wonder at the genius behind the relentless evil unfolding on the page. So painful, so physically emotive; I had to set the book aside to breathe. Visceral and truly frightening, though I had to pause for sanity’s sake, I could not stop until the end. If you want a well-written book that will shake you to your core, this is it.



Thank you, Dona! Terri is overwhelmed by your kind words, especially having them coming from such a talented author.

James Reborn is Terri DelCampo's best work yet, in my opinion. This is over the top horror. Terri holds nothing back. If you're looking for a great tale of psychological horror, give this novel a try. Terri has given you a generous free sample of the story so you can get a feel for her book.

Happy reading!

Book description:
Writer travels to mountain cabin,
Looking for a peaceful retreat.
On a quiet hike for thinking
A frightening sight her eyes did meet.
Young man imprisoned in a dog pen
Helpless to Pa's sadistic whim.
Writer can't believe the horror
And the injustice done to him.
She becomes involved in drama
More frightening than she's ever known.
For James and Pa bring out her instincts
And sides of herself she'd never known.

CAMP NANOWRIMO WINNER

I've finished my novel for the July Camp NaNoWriMo. It's called Mother Earth's Revenge. It came in at 60,045 words. It's time for my personal edits before my editor gets it.

Synopsis:
One calamity after another strikes the planet. Can anyone survive what is constantly tossed at them? One small band in Wyoming believes they can. This could be the last chance for humanity.

Can't sit on my laurels. Time to get going on my next project.

DOGS, SKUNKS, AND OTHER RUNNERS

The photograph above shows me in a fifty-mile running race that I won forty years ago. I'm the guy in second place at that juncture in the race. The reason I bring this up now is that my upcoming book, Dogs, Skunks, And Other Runners, has gotten a bit out of hand and is at the point where I might be publishing this in more than one volume. I'll figure it out and let you know. My running career was a big part of my life for many years. I competed against some of the best runners in the world. Also, I had many solitary runs in natural surroundings and have some amusing stories to share. Thus my title. I'll let everyone know when this book, or books, is getting ready for its debut. To my running friends: happy running. To my readers: happy reading.

THANK YOU FOR BUYING OUR BOOKS

Terri DelCampo and I want to thank our loyal fans who buy our books. It's nice to know we are appreciated for what we do. There are many authors selling books and it takes time to develop a following. We try to price our books in such a way that even people who don't have a lot of disposable income can enjoy our tales. Terri's Owl's Eye View magazine is only 99cents and is chock full of ooky and spooky. We have small and large collections at prices from $1.99 to $9.99. Some of these collections are huge. We always offer a generous free sample at places such as Kindle and others. Some of the larger collections show as many as four short stories. Also, our entire catalogue will soon be available to read for free at libraries in eBook form. I'll keep everyone up to date on which ones are available when they come up. This includes our novels as well as our collections. This is another way for us to say thank you.

Once more: thank you for buying our books. We sincerely hope you get much enjoyment from them.

GHOST IN THE MACHINE - BY BRUCE LOCKHART 2ND

https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Machine-Bruce-Lockhart-2nd-ebook/dp/B0737WTDW9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498699160&sr=8-1&keywords=bruce+lockhart+2nd

Ghost In The Machine, by Bruce Lockhart 2nd,  is a fantastic short story you won't want to miss! Bruce is one of my favorite horror authors! I have suggested a number of his books for you to read in the past, once even saying one of his stories was a literary masterpiece. If you think I'm blowing smoke up your ass, just read the free sample for this great story on Amazon. I know you'll hit the buy button.

I tried to leave a review on Amazon, but it appears that they are getting a bit finicky about who they allow to post reviews. Their new rules are that a reviewer has to have purchased at least $50.00 worth of merchandise in the last year, using a valid debit or credit card. I purchased Ghost In The Machine, but I used an Amazon card that I bought. All my books bought on Amazon have been bought using Amazon cards. Untold hundreds of dollars over the years. It seems strange that Amazon won't recognize their own cards as being valid for reviews. At any rate, here is my review:


5 out of 5 stars!

Another Literary Gem by Bruce Lockhart 2nd!

Ghost In The Machine is a short story of thirty-seven pages by Bruce Lockhart 2nd. This exemplary   tale grows with each word. I have read many of Bruce's books, and I always know I'm in for a treat. The one thing I don't know is where and when he will deliver the finishing blow. He never fails to tease you with his poetic prose before administering a gloriously satisfying finish. This story is acceptable and fantastic reading for teens, YA readers, and adults. Everyone can get in on the fun.

I have a science background, and Bruce did more than satisfy me with this story. Things that he mentions could happen. His characters' names are great. Black-spit is my favorite. And, I get personal satisfaction in the part where he helps an Autism patient with horrible speech problems being able to talk and communicate well. All this from his wonderful machine.

This tale is a gem to read, my friends. I guarantee it!
