Kitty Glitter: "Point Break 2"


Reviewing:

Kitty Glitter:

"Point Break 2"

by:

David & Deneale Williams, Sr.

As most of you know, I have been "prowling" around hunting the missing @KittyGlitter69 from @Twitter. I asked others to help, but was to no avail. So I decided to make other steps, and low and behold I found him again. And yes, I was worried! 

After finding him again, Kitty Glitter sent me another book to review. And after reading the last one, I was excited. 

Right from the beginning, my eyes seemed to pop out of my head.



But to you, the reader advantage here, you will get the insight of two people. Myself and my husband. Because we do not agree. So consider this an added bonus, a two pointer review....

While reading this, I am getting drop jaw and flipping out. My husband on the other hand is dying of laughter. 

The book is about a fight, seems kinda gang related to me, between cats and a cougar. It begins on a plane, and as I start reading, I am reading about a cat having to take a.... how to phrase this? Bowel movement. 

Again my husband is dying of laughter. 

We get to the point whereas they are at a restaurant and the cats are going to dine. We see a puppy, its cute. And than we see them being handed hammers. Oh my God, no. The cats are than dining on dog brains, and to them, they are oh so tasty. 

My husband spouts out, in the midst of his laughter; "Cats rule and dogs drool!"

I keep reading, we get to another point, where a fight takes place, and this mean Hogan character puts tent spikes into the poor cat, and messes with the cat, and even harasses him as he is dying. Messing with the cats testes. 

At this point my husband is saddened a little, as am I for the poor cat, but still, he is laughing a little with some of the wording. 

Eventually, one cat, who was almost to the point of death talks himself into getting up to save the day. With great effort, and still in pain from being beaten on himself by the Cougar; he does manage to get up, and he finds a condom and some soap in the case had that had belonged to his comrade. 

Please tell me you can figure this out? I'm rolling my eyes here, because my husband is telling me to spell it out.

The cat uses to soap, because he remembers the beautiful Caril explaining soap will help ... bowel movements come out easier. He notes the condom is very strong and durable. He than coaxes himself to take a BM and fills the condom with it, and than he proceeds to go to the cougar, and uses it to beat the cougar with, along with his strength and added redemption for his friends, he knows he must do this for his friends. 

My husband gives this novel five stars. I give it four, because it had several errors in it within the typing, which I found. And when I find errors in books, it really freaks me out. (I am one of those grammar Nazi's.) And yes, I do make my own grammarical errors, and misspell words, but I feel if a person is gonna take the time to publish, at least try your damndest to catch them. Within the walls of this book I found more than five, including a sentence that had no ending. (As those of you that know me, I'm a tell it like it is girl, sorry. I pull no punches.) 

But I can relate to the dog brains, as to the Monkey brain scenario, even though it freaked me out a little, and I know the book is meant to be comical, but it was just not my cup of tea, I think. However, I did enjoy the fact that my husband enjoyed it, it's not very often he really and truly enjoys a book, trust me on that one! And for him to issue five stars, is really and truly a big deal!

Therefore, with the fact that we both reviewed this book together, we have decided to give the book a 4.5 star rating. 

We agree that the book is meant to be comical, and that if you personally know Kitty Glitter, his writing style varies from porn to comical and he is an excellent writer who will keep you entertained. I dearly love him, he is a great person, inside and out, for those of you who don't know him as I do you don't know how much a great person you are missing out on knowing!


Here are MY interview Questions for Kitty Glitter:
(Bonus at the bottom of this interview!)




1. What made you write this book?


There used to be an online literary journal called ThievesJargon.com.   I had published a couple of stories with them and the editor really enjoyed my work.  He asked to to spend six months writing one new short story every week.  This was the last story I wrote for that.  It was based on the three cats I had at the time and the names and personalities are taken directly from the cats.

It was based on the idea that my one fat cat Blinger was always lazy and timid, but when it came to Fancy Feast he turned into a monster and nobody could fuck with him.  

And I had recently honeymooned in Vancouver before writing the story so I wanted to set a story there.  I was also recovering from wisdom teeth extraction at the time I wrote it and was on a lot of Vicodin and weed and alcohol, so that kind of had an effect on the story.


2. How long did it take you to write this book?

Four days.


3. How many books have you written?

Well they are Kindle books, but not really full length novels.  Some of them do approach novella length though, so I would say I've written thirty-four Kindle books, but only twenty-six are available because the others were blocked by Amazon for content violation.  


4. Do you plan to write more?

Yes, I am always working on new ideas.  


5. What would you say to the aspiring Authors out there?

Just write whatever you want, and have fun.  Don't take writing advice or classes from other authors.  Many are offered online.  These are all a scam.  If the authors were experts they'd make enough money off their fiction and would not need to supplement their income by teaching.  Especially this guy Chuck Wendig, he is a lame hipster.  I hate him.  


6. Why did you leave Twitter?

It's very distracting.  Facebook is about all the social media I can handle.  I try to be off the internet as much as I can.  



7. Who are you favorite Authors?

David Goodis.  Read his short story "Professional Man".  

Anne Sexton, Flannery O'Connor, Horace McCoy, Patricia Highsmith, Shirley Jackson.

At the moment my favorite novel is They Shoot Horses Don't They? by Horace McCoy.

I also consider Katy Perry one of my favorite authors, she doesn't write novels but she creates a whole fictional world during her concerts that's more bizarre and creative and heartfelt than 90% of the novels you read today.  

I also really love Kesha's book, My Crazy Beautiful Life, she is my greatest inspiration in life.


8. What are your hobbies?

Playing bass guitar, keyboards, boxing, going to punk shows, partying occasionally, and spending time with my son.  


9. Dog brains? Really?

That was based on a scene from Faces Of Death when these people eat monkey brains.  I wanted that scene to show that Blinger was morally superior to the other cats and the cougar.

Solera Winters; "Journey to the UnderWorld"


Solera Winters

"Journey to the UnderWorld"

an Olympian Seductions Novel



 The Review:


Within these pages, I found the the Gods and Goddesses I found to believe in as I read my Mythology and Greek stories through Junior High and High School are now brought to a whole new level. One here on Earth, and in the here and now. 

Kory Burke, as she prefers to go by, though, not her given name, is the daughter of Demeter, who actually prefers to be called Demi. Demeter and Kory run a Nursery, "Demeter's Nursery", which is her pride and joy. 

 Kory is taking singing lessons from a Professor Stradham, however her Mother feels that it is a waste of her talents, and feels her talents belong in the Nursery. 

Deven Thanos, is after revenge on Demeter, and learns of her daughter, and sends Kory's manager invitation for Kory to try out. Of course, this excites, Kory. 

Afterall, the television slogan for the UnderWorld is: "The UnderWorld: where sin is just another word for pleasure." To Kory, a singing gig, and for a place like the UnderWorld were a dream come true!

Deven Thanos, who is Hades, when he finally gets to meet Kory, didn't intend to, but his feelings for her were much more than he had anticipated. He wanted her in so many ways. He felt things he had never felt before. 

When Kory met Deven, she too was drawn to him, and felt things. However, she was just an innocent, and knew nothing of the World in which she entered.

On top of it all, she was a virgin. 

She tries out, and sings, and amazes even herself. Thanos shows her around, but lays down rules. He doesn't want her to see things, until he is ready. 

But curious, innocent little Kory, goes with her Mother's friends Polly and Joy, also Goddesses, that she is unaware of. And gets an eye full of shock. 

Deven and Kory end up falling for one another, deeper and deeper and keeping the relationship under hats from her Mother. 

But remember what we don't do to Mother Nature?

Unknown to Kory, her Mother is "Mother Nature" and as the phrase is commonly said: "Its not nice to fool Mother Nature." eventually, Kory 'see's' the light of day and realizes that the road she has traveled in her life, when her Mother has became angry, has resulted in things such as:

Hurricane Katrina when they once lived in New Orleans
Hurricane Sandy  when they lived in Atlantic City
Hurricane Andrew in Florida
and last but not least
Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina
and even a bad Winter Storm up North.

Eventually a nosy Hermes gets involved. And little be known to all, Hecate, had recorded the debut of Kory on her debut night, but also an added bonus. And nosy little Hermes goes to Demeter with the evidence.

Now we have a storm of the century on our hands, and Zues must get involved. 

Kory then learn the truth that Deven is Hades and her Mother is the Goddess Mother Nature, and runs from them both. She is now more confused than ever.

She must choose. 

As she does so, she too learns of her powers, and even thinks about Deven, and her Mother. 

~~~~~~

The book was a very interesting read. I truly enjoyed the experience of the dominatrix and submissive, and how explanatory it was. 

I also enjoyed just how sexy Hades seemed, I was very much in love with him myself!

~~~~~~


Now Here are my Questions for Solera!




 1. What made you write this book?

For several years I had the idea that the Persephone and Hades myth might make an excellent journey into D/s. It was an idea I kept coming back to. I love Greek mythology and finally when I needed an idea a couple of years ago for NanoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) I decided to write it.


2. Are any of the Characters derived from real people?

I guess if you can call the mythological gods "real." LMAO. Seriously though, there are bits and composites of real people in all my characters. It's how I make my characters come to life. I think of a trait that the character needs and then try to think of anyone I know that has that personality and while the person themselves isn't in the story, parts of them are.


3. Which character is your favorite?

No question, that has to be Deven. He captured my heart. He's just so sexy. 


4. How long have you been working on this book?

I've been working on this one since the end of 2012. It went through a couple of full revisions before it was ready for public eyes. I wrote the first draft in 30 days for the NanoWriMo that year and then put it away for awhile. 


5. What are your future writing plans?

I always have lots of plans. :) Next month I have another short coming out in a box set with several other authors called Lucky Stars. The Olympian Seductions series will go on too. I plan to release the next book in the fall. It's a real fun one with Dionysus (the god of wine and orgies--the ultimate partier). It is also set in The UnderWorld, but has a totally different feel. Dionysus falls for two mortals so it's a menage and it's a retelling of the Theseus, Ariadne and Dionysus myth. It's a little lesser known that Persephone and Hades, so that gives me a little more freedom with the story. I'm writing it now and going through all the ups and downs that requires, but I'm loving it and can't wait for readers to read that story as well.

6. What are your hobbies, besides writing?

I do a little painting (mostly acrylics) and sometimes play with ceramics. I'm an avid reader as well so try to get in reading every day too.

7. How long have you been writing?

I tried writing when I was in 6th grade in a take off of Nancy Drew mysteries. I've written off and on my entire life. In 2007 I was able to get into my writing more seriously due to my personal circumstances which changed. It's been a real joy to be able to devote substantial time to it.

8. Who are your favorite Authors?

Kim Carmichael is my bestie and one of my favorite authors to read as well. Another big favorite is Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I like them both for the same reason, they make me laugh and they make me go awww. 

9. Who inspires you?

My Sensei who I dedicated the book to is my inspiration at all times, and Kim Carmichael is the person who pushes me to be better. She's been awesome to mentor me and I know Journey to the UnderWorld would never have seen the light of day without her urging.

10. What suggestions can you offer to anyone wanting or thinking of becoming a writer?

Follow your heart and chase your dreams. It's hard work, but worth it. Be true to your muse and tell the story you want to tell no matter what. Most of all...WRITE and keep learning.

11. Does writing come easily for you?

Yes and no. When I get really into the story, it almost writes itself at times. Words fly from my fingers at those times. I'm a total panster, I write by the seat of my pants with very little plotting. That's the hard part of my process. I will be going along just fine and then suddenly I realize, I can't answer the question of what happens next. That's the time that I panic for a bit. Then I usually have a good chat with Sensei or Kim and get my story back on track. LOL

12. Have you ever had "Writers block?"

No not really. Sometimes the writing is slower than other times, but essentially there is always something to write. I push through the slow times. My main issue is finding time to write, there are always other things to be doing or that pull my attention away from the story, but once I'm at the keyboard it's happening.

13. Of your own writings..... What is your favorite Novel?

The next one. :) They all have a special place in my heart. I love UnderWorld, but Dion has captivated me for the moment. My story coming out next month, The Last Date is fun too. Choosing a favorite is like trying to choose your favorite child I suppose.

15. Anything you'd like to add:

Thank you so much for this opportunity. You're awesome Deneale. I have to say that I appreciate all you do.

Werewolf Nights by Mari Hamill

Werewolf Nights 
by 
Mari Hamill


Before I even begin, allow me to inform you, that "Werewolf Nights" is in fact one of the most retweeted books in Los Angeles. This I learned VIA www.evancarmichael.com Mari Hamil's twitter handle is @MariHamill which ranks number 97 of the top 100 for December 2014. Check it our for yourself! I thought that would be something interesting and note worthy of sharing with my readers and followers!

Now onto my review: 

The lovely Catherine Mercy never thought she would find love ever again. Many of us have thought this a time or two, but than love always finds a way in, doesn't it, and always when we least expect it?

 Compliments of Catherine's financial difficulties, she finds herself led to 'Wolfen Manor,' where she was forbidden to visit because a werewolf lives there. Words often said to her by her own Grandmother.

Greg, who plays a Wolfen in a Movie, and is also a real wolfen, ends up being someone Catherine feels drawn to, and her heart opening up to. Is she certain this is what she wants? Should she fight it? What will she do?

Steve, Catherines friend is an expert on Werewolves. He lends an ear, and is there for her, but from time to time, she just doesn't seem to want to take it all in, or so it seems.

To complicate the story even more so, the husband Catherine had once thought to be dead- Frank is now alive and a werewolf bounty hunter. He himself has been hired to kill Greg the Wolfenn during the full moon. 

This story is written very well, and seems like a fairy tale, and that it would make a most excellent movie. 

It has everything to keep you wanting more, drawing you further into the story lines, curious with each line, in what direction the story will take, and what Catherine will do.

I give this book five stars, as I very much enjoyed it, and would strongly recommend it to others! It was truly worthy of my time!
