THE BIRTH OF A WRITER
On 19 November 2007, I took up pen and wrote. I launched four mediocre blogs at that time and typed my time away. By February 2008, I would conceive the idea that would become Dolor and Shadow. Today, 19 November 2015, I mark my anniversary as a writer. It is the day I declared that […]
STRAWS AND CAMELS

Paid Reviews and the Dilemma of Self-Published Credibility
Paid Reviews and the Dilemma of Self-Published Credibility by J. Edward Ritchie One of the biggest challenges that every self-published author has to face is generating credibility. With over a million books released every year, how can a serious writer separate their work from the half-hearted dregs and vanity projects that are inundating the market? […]
Happy Halloween!

Instead of writing up something and throwing out that short little something, I decided to pull one of the darkest, most horrific sections I could find in Broken and share it with you. I must warn you, this section […]
