#MondayBlogs #131PreviewReview Death By Haggis #Author Jay Cutts @shannonihayes @jaycuttsbooks

The 131 Preview Review Presents

An Amazon Breakthrough Novel Quarterfinalist, Death by Haggis is a tongue in cheek detective novel inspired by the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for the "opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels." Until the day Jane Hamchester walked into his squalid office, the highlight of Detective Sam Barlow's life had been a particularly good tuna sandwich. Now he is charged with trying to save the life of the only woman he ever, uhm, thought was really swell. His only problem is that there are no clues, other than the nonsensical utterances of a dying man. Barlow's desperate search takes him first to Scotland and then to the Aegean. But time is running out. Not only for Jane but for the human race. Barlow's only possible hope lies at the bottom of an ancient cavern, a remnant from the time when a different kind of human populated the Earth, a kind of human that could have saved mankind. Alas, they are long extinct. Or are they?

This book is certainly a fun turn of events, that keeps you wondering when the next piano is going to drop. Read on for more weirdly profound craziness...

A Spotlight from The #131PreviewReview #TeaserTuedsay Amongst The Clouds: James And Syvok Adventure 4 @shannonihayes @wbnystrom #WROTM

A Break in the Silence... 

So I know I've been AWOL for a while, I'm not going into the why or the how, it's just been a crazy road these past few months and frankly while I'm doing a lot of reading I'm just not reading anything from the Indy Circuit. TERRIBLE of me I know, but I'm not getting any material. Can't read what you don't have. But I was sitting back with my dear friend the talented +Eri Nelson trying to figure out what we could be doing more to help other authors and keep up our own blogs with some moving content. She came up with the idea of doing little tours within this Facebook group that she started. It's got a few hundred people in it so we figure why not, who doesn't like free publicity??? RIGHT?? So with that helping thought in mind the queries went out and the response has been rather good. A diverse group has come forward looking to partake and distribute. So you will start seeing #Spotlights that may be a wee bit out of my taste-zone. But I'm sure you or someone you know may find interesting.. With that said  I'm posting the first author today and the next later this month. Do keep your eyes open.

Cheers!

#TeaserTuesday One Month Stand by Nina Ceves @ninaceves #131PreviewReview

The 131 Preview Review Presents

     Ever has put her troubled past behind her and has a thriving pet sitting business in beautiful Sonoma county, California. Born into the foster care system, and with a history of loss, she is sure that relationships are just not for her. Theo was raised on a farm in a family that rejected all modern ways of life, until he was exiled. Working as a comedian, writer, and part time clown, the last thing he expects is to find himself falling so fast for a woman as vulnerable, caring, and beautiful as Ever. Unable to deny the attraction between them, Ever suggests a one night stand. Theo, desperate to buy time, proposes an alternative: a one month stand. Despite her fears, Ever is so drawn to Theo, and she agrees. At the end of the month, will they go their separate ways as planned? Or will these independent, wounded people find the courage to hold on to what is right in front of them? 

Let's Have a Green Beer with #Author T.J.Loveless

The 131 Preview Review Welcomes Back 

Author T.J. Loveless

Born in Anchorage, I've lived ... well ... everywhere. From the Arctic Circle to a block from the beaches in Florida. I speak fluent Arkansas Hillbilly, make a mean gumbo, can sew when necessary and am a whiz at packing. 

Life's unexpected twists and turns have led me down paths from shoveling water to build roads, correctional officer at a men's maximum security unit, to helping do the research and co-authoring the scientific paper regarding dyslexia and genetic inheritance. I've met a lot of wonderful people along the way, and a few I'd prefer to forget. But always grateful for what I learned.

I'm also a copy/content editor, and found I love helping a story idea turn into a book, ready to be distributed to those that need the story. I enjoy helping others in their journey, even as I continue on mine. So many things to learn!

You'll generally find a Muse snuggled to my hip, the other one laying across my shoulders and Editor Kitty staring at the screen, waiting for the red ink to make an appearance. Once it does, he lays across the keyboard purring.

The family brags about the latest compromising position I've been found in, trying to figure out how to truly describe "legs all akimbo" or if falling on the couch could truly land a body in a certain position. They ignore my yelling at characters on the computer screen, and are forgiving when I accidentally write past the time for them to eat. It's one way of teaching the teenager to cook ...

The 131 Preview Review takes on something a wee Bit Different... The Unconventional Dwarf With Dr. Tof Eklund for #MondayBlogs

The 131 Preview Review Presents

    The Unconventional Dwarf is the first in a series of books intended to bring role playing into the 21st century by taking it back to its roots and questioning its fundamental assumptions. The Unconventional Dwarf will show some of the ways to make a game unique, to re-ground fantasy in real-world myths and logical consistency, while also renewing that lost sense of wonder. Each of the Dwarven societies presented herein have familiar traits, but in new contexts and they all overturn certain aspects of Dwarves a you know them in favor of an original and consistent society inspired by everything from Ancient Sparta, Imperial Rome, and the Amazons to cave-diving, celebrity culture, and even the naked mole rat. Whether looking for a concept for the next character, working on developing a world for the next session, seeking inspiration for a game design project, or simply looking for a good read, it is our hope that these pages will inspire, amuse and maybe challenge you. 

     Well That should wet the palette.....

A Wild Ride through time and space...

       The 131 Preview Review Presents 

      Firstly let me Welcome You all Back!! YAY!! NEW READS!! 

       Since first meeting Author Eri Nelson almost a year ago, I have readily devoured everything she has written. You've heard me Gush over the Dearhart Clan Series, now I'm back to enlighten you about The Isabella (Izzy) Tulley & Aiden Black Series  Which is shaping up to be a hell of a ride...

From the moment you crack open one of Eri Nelson's books you find you're going to be in for quite the ride. See she comes with a disclaimer for which she is most proud. A warning to the reader that her way of word weaving borders on the strange and peculiar  After the first few unorthodox pages the rhythm makes sense. It's like going from Stan Lee to Charlotte Bronte and back again.  

Her words envelop you and the next thing you know you are wrapped up in the spirals she sends her characters down. 

I'M BAAACCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!! A Return to The 131 Preview Review

Welcome Back!!

Like the pic? Yea, I drew that sucker! Just one of the things I've been up to during my Hiatus with +Eri Nelson . If you're an Indy Author looking for an AFFORDABLE cover, keep your eyes open to us, as we work up our temps.  Yes I did do the writing I was hoping to do, and yes, I'm getting my health back under control. Got some new medications that are doing wonders to the lengths that I could have only hoped for. So YEAH, and Yay on many fronts, and fonts... I needed this hiatus to sort it all out.

So now I've got A New Novella slated for publication in October, and two more in the coming year. Probably March and August '14. I made good use of my time off....

Diary of A Vampire Stripper By: +Cinsearae S. 

          Okay, I won’t tell you not to laugh, when I first saw the title, I gave a hearty chuckle, and was instantly reminded of Jenna Jameson’s Zombie Strippers!  Which I recommend if you have a love of REALLY Bad films.  Anyway, as my last few 131 Previews were, well... more.... Serious, I was in the mood for something... Not.

Boy did I find it...
