I hope you’ll want to continue to see what happens Next… Chapter 1 Cold does not describe weather that fateful night in December. It was the time of the year that puts a chill deep in your bones after the sun goes down. As Malcolm Fisk sat in that frigid hiding place while hunting, the weight of the situation and circumstances grew heavy. He wasn’t hunting a deer or any other beast that men usually lay in wait for in the cold of winter. He was waiting, watching for what he considered to be the most reprehensible being on the planet. This bastard, this evil that used to be his friend and business partner. Malcolm glanced around while pulling his scarf closer to his neck, and tightening his coat to shield him from the b...

At the beginning of March, author Marc Laidlaw put out a tweet that read “The first line of almost any story can be improved by making sure the second line is -And then the murders began-” This is a very intriguing idea, and I challenge everyone to open up the nearest book and give it a try. “Even before the events in the supermarket, Jim Ironheart should have known trouble was coming.” And then the murders began. That may not be too big of a stretch for a Dean Koontz book. That was the first line from Cold Fire. Let’s see how that new line will affect some other books. “Once upon a time there were three bears who lived in a little house in the woods.” And then the murders began. You know what, I think that really livens up that story. I heard that second line and said woo, wait a minute. That’s different, tell me more about these killer bears.   “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.” An...

Hating airlines isn’t a new thing, but it’s definitely popular right now. But first a funny story. My wife bought a new water feature for the back patio. It was cool looking, I liked it, but it was missing something. The pipes, the water… Ahh, now I get it. It’s missing Mario. Yes, I went out and spent $3.00 on a Mario figurine for a gag picture. How much would you spend? This revenge story hits close to home for me. No I’ve never been part of a Canadian folk-pop group, mostly because nobody ever asked me to. I own a Taylor acoustic guitar that’s featured/broken in this story of revenge. In 2008 the Canadian group Sons of Maxwell discovered that one of their guitars was broken after flying the friendly skies of United Airlines. They denied any responsibility, and ignored his phone calls. The guitarist, Dave Carrol got his revenge by recording a trilogy of songs titled “United Breaks Guitars”. Uploaded them to the interweb and got over 4 million views. I think that’s worth ...

This is the story of an unlikely author. Malcolm Mitchell made it to the University of Georgia with a problem that he knew he needed to address. He could only read at a junior high level. While at a Barnes & Noble book store he struck up a conversation with a woman who talked about how much she enjoyed her book club. Malcolm asked if he could join her book club and he has been hooked ever since. A 20 year old football player made himself right at home with the group of 40 to 50 year old women in the book club. In 2015 Malcolm published a children’s book titled ‘The Magician’s Hat’. He promotes children’s literacy. And over the weekend he had 6 catches in the Super Bowl. A good story about what you can achieve.

Based on polling results I was able to narrow down my choices for a book cover. I would like to thank all of those who contributed to the project. Sure, I had to weed through comments such as “I love them all” to “they all suck get your money back”. Those outlier comments were taken into consideration, but ultimately dismissed. The cover with the white doors was the overwhelming winner. There were suggestions of how to improve it. I shared this information with the publisher and got back 4 new covers to choose from. Two were utterly ridiculous, but two were viable options. So for round 2, which cover? White doors or black door? And what would you change? Since it will be a series I plan on having something like this down around my name: “Book 1 of The Next series” 

The Next. Book trailer 2.

So I'm at the point in my book publishing process where I need to pick a cover. Now is your chance to be a part of the process. You can say "I helped pick out that book cover". Please make suggestions too. I plan on changing the fonts, maybe the scope color or the doors... A little about the book: The Next. It’s Sci Fi, with maybe action/drama/thriller in the blender too. One character lies in wait to seek revenge for his wife’s accidental death. Something goes wrong, or right depending on your perspective. The Sci Fi part is an alternate version of the afterlife called The Next. Where the newly arrived clients find out that they have a choice of what happens to them. They can move on, go back to their previous life or let chance decide.  

Maybe he'll cut his right hand off???

What happens when you die? What is on the other side? Most people have an opinion or a strong belief on the subject. There are some people that have come back from a near death experience that tell tales of white lights and tunnels. Maybe they remember someone encouraging them to walk towards the light? But they’re not able to remember exactly what had happened to them. Malcolm Fisk has hit rock bottom. His pregnant wife has just been killed. He’s positive that he knows who did it, and he’s desperate to deal out some revenge with the aid of a borrowed rifle. Jerry Dance feels that he’s often misunderstood. But those that know him understand that he’s capable of doing very bad things. Jerry is about to learn a valuable lesson. No matter how successful you are or how untouchable you may feel, those things don’t make you bulletproof. Past turmoil boils over into a violent, potentially deadly confrontation between two former business partners and friends. Malcolm Fisk and Jerry Dance are...

I want to thank Mike Miracle for consenting to an author interview. I really enjoyed reading through this, and getting to know more about him. If his personality is any indication to how his upcoming book is going to be, it's going to be stellar! -- Arwen If you could, would you tell us a little about yourself and your background? Originally from the east coast, Mike and his family now reside on a farm in the Midwest. Mike was able to use his programming skills to start his own small business from home, where every day is casual Friday. Mike has always searched for ways to express creativity and imagination. Through music, art and now the printed word. Mike’s childhood love of science fiction has never been stronger. There are plenty of crime dramas in the office library, but science fiction still dominates. How long have you been writing? I have been writing for a long time. This will be the first time I’ve written a book to publish. So, what have you written? The ...

Today on the blog, I’d like to introduce you to Mike Miracle. Lucky husband, fortunate father of two great kids and the caretaker of many different monsters. Originally from the east coast, Mike and his family now reside on a farm in the Midwest. Mike was able to use his programming skills to start his own small business from home, where every day is casual Friday. Mike has always searched for ways to express creativity and imagination. Through music, art and now the printed word. Mike’s childhood love of science fiction has never been stronger. There are plenty of crime dramas in the office library, but science fiction still dominates. Mike wanted to create a plausible dimension outside of anything anyone has read before. To grab the reader by the hand and walk them through the bright light and show them what happens in the realm known as  The Next. So, first up. I guess Mike Miracle is a pen name? I get asked that all the time. Is that a stage name? But Mike Miracle is my ...
