The Deceived By: E. C. Fisher



The Deceived

By: E.C. Fisher

I truly love the cover of this book! The design is truly artistic and powerful all wrapped into one. And what I like about it even more, is that this rendition of Lucifer, aka Satan aka the Devil is much darker then most I have encountered, and I like it. There is something about the time and effort with cover art, that pulls me in.

Now as for the book, this is a different version of Revelations. In this version it is Lucifer’s end of days. So be prepared for a different outlook then what you are accustomed to, and let me tell you, this one will truly keep you reading to want to learn more.

Lucifer has gone and killed God, and then sent the Angels onto Earth for the cycle of rebirth. In the meantime, he has stayed in Heaven, plotting his revenge. 

The Arch Angel Michael as his Father is dying, gives him the Sword of Spirit, in hopes that he can save humanity, and is sent to Earth to try to do just that, upon his own rebirth. 

The Planet is being attacked by the four horsemen of the Apocalypse: Death, Famine, War and Conquest. 

Michael gathers a group of followers and travels across the US in hopes of defeating the Anti-Christ and ending Lucifer’s plan, as well as freeing his own love, who was taken hostage during his own escape from Heaven.

This book, is like no other biblical tale you would hope to read, and in fact, the Author has another book titled: “The Deceived: Additional Selection of Short Stories” Link: https://www.amazon.com/Deceived-Additional-Selection-Short-Stories-ebook/dp/B0768PCZW3/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 If you are interested. 

I truly found this book to be a five-star read myself, it was one of those unique style kind of books, that gives you a completely different way of looking at things. And sometimes, you just need to give everything a second look, and maybe even a third. And with the biblical stories and theories, there are so many, that all anyone ever does is argue. That’s one reason I enjoyed this book. It was written totally out of the ordinaire and it has its own sense of style and uniqueness. I truly enjoyed it, and think I found myself a new writer to follow!
Here are my questions for Mr. Fisher:
 1. What made you write this book, and how long did it take you?

I had a thought in my head one day while working, 'What if the Bible was a lie?' This thought drove me to think about what the consequences of that would be like and then my story sprung from that. I tried to focus the idea on Lucifer winning his war against God but during his reign, Lucifer found it impossible to just eradicate humanity, so he had to go about corrupting them. Hence his lie, the Bible. I decided not to focus on the effects of this revelation until it was near the time of his plans fruition, which was the End of Days or Revelations. It took me a little over six months to feel comfortable with my story to decide to go through with sending it over to an editor.

2. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters?

I was thinking of getting some illustrations completed for the characters, but I haven't done that yet. Maybe in the future, I will provide that as a bonus to go with the book.

3. What are you working on now?

I have a sent a fantasy story to my editor, it is broken into four parts at the moment which I hope to use to bring in more readers and followers. The book is titled; Re: Camelot Part One: The Descendant of the King. I am also working on a suspenseful paranormal story at the moment, it is my first attempt in this genre but I am feeling confident in it. The working title of this story is The Rain. I hope to bring both of these books to readers before the spring of 2018.

4. Did you ever think you would grow up and become a writer?

Writing was never something I thought I would find myself doing when I was younger. One day, I woke up and just had a story in my head and I wasn't able to sleep well until I was finally able to write it out.

5. What all education have you had?

Nothing more than High School.

6. What are your hobbies?

I like watching movies or TV shows. I was into bowling when I was younger but haven't been doing much of that lately. I like billiards.

7. Who is your favorite Author(s)?

I like Clive Cussler, Dan Brown and Jim Butcher

8. Where is your favorite place to write?
I have my computer set up in the living room. I find having the distractions around me help my creative mind figure out a scene I may be stuck on.

9. What inspires you to write?
I try to rethink old stories. Kind of how I thought of The Deceived and my new release Re:Camelot Part One: The Descendant of the King.

Mommy's Choice by Scott Curits McElhaney

Mommy's Choice 

 by Scott Curtis McElhaney

Christian Suspense Novel

  http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/83/c8/3f/83c83f99cec5431a5e280122ab6aabb3.jpg

When I received a copy of "Mommy's Choice" written by first time author (when this book was first released): Scott Curtis McElhaney, I truly wasn't in the mood to read. But curiosity got the best of me, and I picked it up and read the back, and decided I needed to find out more. So I started reading. The next thing you know, it was nightfall and I couldn't put it down. I didn't want to go to sleep; I wanted to find out exactly what it was I was missing. So I read it, until I finished it that night.

Scott Curtis really opens your eyes, and makes you think. Not many people can actually do that for you anymore with their writings. It has a very unique and unpredictable ending, to which one cannot really and truly write about, because it will ruin it for you, the interested party. You honestly need to grab yourself a copy, so you too- can be drawn in; unable to put it down, and open up your mind and heart!
The book helps you look and relate with the relationship between a Mother and Son, and as the title states, "Mommy's choice." The characters are really people you and I can relate to! It also can help you understand Christianity, and the need to have a relationship with our Lord.

This book is something everyone should read, especially teens. It will help you, to think before you make your choice. Perhaps this story just might touch the right person, or even persons, and help them through a tough decision that could change their life forever; it is in fact-an eye opening book, which you will not be able to put down! However, as with most anything, this book could possibly cause controversy within a crowd. The book is also written in the Christian format, and helps you relate to Christianity, and understand becoming and the need to be a Christian as well. It is truly a wonderful Christian Suspense Novel.


This book enlightens you on Childbirth, and Abortion, and choices. Truly, it is eye opening. And I truly mean, eye opening. Something you may never think about. And perhaps you should. Those who are Pro~Choice and Pro~Life, will definitely agree, this book needs given to the youngsters of today, to make them think even before they make mistakes. Just a thought, and a good one I might add.

"Mommy's Choice" can be found at the following locations: www.Amazon.comwww.Target.comwww.BarnesandNoble.com, and Borders.com On a more personal note, I have found Amazon.com is always very descent with their pricing on just about anything! This is a small paperback- and this small paperback, had a huge impact on me! I give this book a ten on a scale of one through ten! Thank you, Scott Curtis McElhaney-for a wonderful story, to open our minds, hearts and eyes, all in one read! God has truly blessed this writer with talent!


Here is a photo of Scott with his wife Jenny. Scott live in Ohio, and has two Sons. He is a Christian, and writes in his spare time. Scott is also the third child of four siblings. Scott teaches Sunday School, and works at as an associate sales manager with a big tool company.

"Running Outta Time" by Scott Curtis



The book: "Running Outta Time" is as the cover states- three complete novels. The novelist who wrote it: Scott Curtis. This being his third published novel, the others include: "Mommy's Choice" and "Life Could Be a Dream!"
 
The first story: "One Crazy Summer" is about teens that work at a department store, and through the death of a fellow employee, learn about the possibility of money hidden within the store.

The story line, makes you want to keep reading, just to find out- to see what happens next. Your curiosity will get the best of you, and you will keep reading.

The best part, is that there are twists and turns, and things you really didn't "expect" per say. You will feel bad for the characters; you will bond with them, and feel like you too, are searching to solve this mystery.

The next story: "Brooksie" is about time travel. There is a door in Eddie's basement, which leads him to 1928, and into an amusement park. But within this town, there are "rules!"

Eddie meets Brooksie, a famous actress in hiding from her Manager. He learns of a missing person from his era, who resides within 1928, because he too- went through the door in his basement. Eddie, in order to learn about the actress whose name is really Patience Webb, researches online, while in his era. He learns she will die, and wants to prevent this from happening. Much to our surprise at the end, as to if she dies, and how....

You need to read this story, to learn the details! BUT! My favorite part about this particular story, was the story within a story. Eddie and Patience/Brooksie find a book while they are hiding out from her Manager/fiancé. They start reading a loud, to help them relax. As they read it, the author is kind enough to share it with us, and the book they are reading, is just as interesting!!

The next story: "Daylight in Blossom" is about two cousins, and their nightmares, if you will. Through their nightmares, and protecting one another- Autumn becomes convinced that her cousin is a superhero. He has always came to her rescue, and has tragic events in his life, and only gets wounded, never seeming to die.

Through out this book, you start to think that maybe Autumn is just a wee bit insane, or could possibly have other things wrong with her, and maybe she ought to seek medical attention. As the book goes on, and you realize the tragedy that Autumn and her cousin Tyler have gone through as children, it is then that you feel compelled to understand and feel bad for her.

Autumn has a pet hamster Chuckles, and that too- is an amazing tale as to how she "acquired" her hamster. And apparently through traveling-air lines seem to not permit hamsters. So Autumn must figure out what to do with her hamster.

The part that made me laugh most, was at the end of the book. You think its over, and the story is done, and then you have: "But wait...Aren't there usually more scenes during the credits?" And then we have three more scenes that will make you laugh! And these scenes DO go along with the book!
All together, I was utterly and totally impressed. As I kept reading, I didn't want to put the book down!

I just had to know more! If and when I put the book down, I would wonder about what would happen next.

If your reading material is lacking the desire to read it, you need to give Author: Scott Curtis a try. Scott Curtis is his "pen name." He lives in Munroe Falls, Ohio and has two sons and has been marries for well over eighteen years.

To reach this author simply email:scurtis.fiction@sbcglobal.net

I give this book two thumbs up, and more if I had them! On a scale of one through ten, a definite ten!  

"Life Could be a Dream" by Scott Curtis



I was lucky enough to acquire the book: "Life Could be a Dream" by second time- Author Scott Curtis. As you may well have noticed, I reviewed his first book, "Mommy's Choice." as well.
 https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1DDgAGRMaJr4_iWw0I93LicolApIV4kBij1zN9pzgYU_quuXq1I3-NpHsrP2ME5cg_0Z8DOMoC4VE5NbBdI9CJZKd2xg1zNn7xeNn6VJH5Q6OCWf261oi4gNog9gt8sJkS7PmVL1pc4/s1600/Light-red-rose.jpg
http://www.terragalleria.com/images/black-white/us-sw/usaz8853-bw.jpeg
I can honestly say, that Scott Curtis has made his way into my personal category of favorite writers. And that is not an easy title to get. I originally had three favorite Authors, and they were: Stephen King, John Grisham and Iris Johansen.

Several months back, I removed King- for several reasons not worthy of discussion here. But now, in order of preference are as follows: Iris Johansen, Scott Curtis, and John Grisham.

But enough about me, let me tell you about this wonderful book!

This book is not what I expected, especially after reading his first book; I expected it to take a different route all together. Since we were dealing with domestic violence in the book, I thought it would truly be a nightmare, which is a type of dream, or something to do with his past. Because, if you read the back of the book, it deals with the fifties.

Once again, as with "Mommy Dearest" I started the book in the afternoon, and couldn't go to bed until it was done. I wanted to- trust me, and the last five or so pages, I was like so tired, but there was no way I could leave myself with unanswered questions. I had to know more!

Sean is them main character, he is the one with the abusive father. His Mother, Melissa is in abusive relationship, and often worries about her son, because she has already lost her daughter. Well, that in itself, I feel I have said too much, because things turn out so differently at the end, you will have drop jaw. I will tell you, as with many of Scott's books, he time travels in them. As does he in this one. Sean hides out fifty years in the past, in 1958. He meets a beautiful girl, her name is Clara. The book opens your heart, and makes you dream, and think. Most of all, imagine. 

If you read "Mommy's choice" you may want to know, if this book, is that detailed in the aspect of the Christianity, and Bible quotations. It does speak and refer to the Bible and Christianity, yes. But no, it is nothing like his first book. It just guides you to look at your life, do things for the greater good, behave yourself and make yourself a better person. Yes, there are biblical quotes, but these ones are more understanding and make a quicker and better impact on you and your life choices. Yes "Mommy's Choice" does the same, but the two are very different, trust me.

I did however email Mr. Curtis, because he is one of those Authors who does want to know what you think. He told me, that he truly enjoyed writing this book. And if you read it, trust me, you will see why. Read it, absorb it, and then use your imagination.

This book is a truly must read. It deals with Science Fiction, romance, life and Christianity. Who knew you could mix them all up like that, but it certainly worked, and I was truly impressed, and now my teens are reading it. I can hardly wait for Mr. Curtis to put out another book, I love being pulled into his thoughts, "dreams" and words. They make me "see" and relate and keep me wanting more.
On a scale of one to ten, ten being the best, I give this book a perfect ten, two thumbs up and a standing ovation!


To you who are reading this, go buy this book! You can get it at Amazon, order online and have it in a few days! You will be glad you did! And that is being said by an avid, every day reader!
