Stating that "Carlos Juan would have to be among the greatest guitar technicians in the world.

You will also get valuable data about guitar action of the superstars, since Carlos worked on guitars of all of them, as well as tools, installation tips. 

There are a 100 pages, 1000+ artists, and 850 photos.

The Carlos brand, also known as Carlos Juan Pickups, is a world-renowned manufacturer of high-end acoustic guitar pickups and amplifiers, recognized for their superior performance, accuracy, quality, and reliability, often described as the "Rolls Royce of all acoustic guitar pickups."

New Book!


The Sky Kingdom and the Stolen Feather by Nico Riley..

Under review at Amazon as I write.  

Book has been turned from manuscript to paperback and Kindle versions..

Cover by independent artist.. Athatha.

This is the foreword:


There are many mysteries surrounding the Sky Kingdom located on the planet Sarral, such as; why is there a cottage situated on top of an iceberg, bobbing way out at sea? How can the crown - the most royal of headpieces, choose the next in line king, as if by magic? Where did the creatures, that once a month, leave their home in the whirlpool on the outskirts of the kingdom to terrorize the townsfolk, originate from? There are so many strange happenings that remain undocumented, but the most bizarre of all, is how do the giant, rock-like platforms, float the way they do, in the middle of the kingdom? They provide homes for the elite, well above the desolate Ruinlands below, the people living on these platforms have no clue as to why they are lucky enough to be living in the sky. All they know, is that they would do anything to stay there, and not be sent to the fear and desperation, at ground level below.

Links to follow as soon as I have them!

There's something so good about giving life to a book.. It's there, it's waiting as manuscript, it's just not quite breathing.. 

Then wham! It's on shelves, it's been read, it's been absorbed, it's in peoples minds.. it breathes.

FH4 by Cindy Davis

FH4 by Cindy Davis went live yesterday.
A short poignant story from the heart of this lady, written in her own words; it was both cathartic and a remembering of some events hidden away, for some obvious reasons.

Dennis C Randall



Well, who would have thought it would be I introducing my next book here today!

The week before I began this work placement I suddenly set about a book on my step father Dennis C Randall, I couldn't stop writing, and before I knew it, within three days, it was written, photographs loaded and in with createspace for publishing!

I have here now a link to the Kindle version... still a great book here...  and awaiting the paperback now!

I had a few changes to make, not easy from here, without the original download, but somehow I have accomplished it!

And I must admit, not so shyly as I should be, I am very pleased with it!  Who knows what errors there are, or how the pictures will come out on the Kindle in reality... but we will see!

It has been a wonderful thing, going through dads box... which is what set me on this road, his pictures, his writing, so much more I wish now I could have included, maybe I can add more at a later date, well, of course I know I can!

Enjoy those of you who make the purchase!  Enjoy the road I took...

LJBush


The Double Edged Sword By LJBush...

L.J and her younger Sister Jo,had a harsh and traumatic childhood; they never felt they belonged. They were different.
As L.J grew into a young woman she felt hopeless and unfulfilled; she hated life. Little did she know she was being watched, and her desperate need to belong as a child would lead her to a life changing reunion with Jo, a dark looming stranger and a surprise transformation.
This would lead them both on a treacherous journey into the dark world of Vampires,Murderers.Bloodlust,Justice and Revenge.




A Leap of Faith  


Second in the trilogy...


After the revelation and shock sinks in, as to who their creator is, LJ and Jo find themselves in the turmoil of yet another catastrophe.

Varacolaci reveals yet more shocking news of his own, and LJ discovers she has more in common with her creator than she would like.

As they all prepare to return to London, little do they all know, their lives are all about to be turned upside down. An innocent night out at the Hangman's Arms, brings yet more trouble involving a new encounter with a curious stranger. LJ takes her own Leap of Faith, not knowing she is leading her whole new family into danger, which could spell the end of Varacolaci's elite.



The Wingless Bird By LJBush


I was 9 years old when I wrote my first poem. It contained a few childish scribbled lines of how I felt at the time. I continued and never stopped. 

This collection of poems come from my inner core, written from a continuing sense of grief and loss. 

Although dark, emotional and heartbreaking at times; I hope all those who read my poems, will be able to relate to both the illustrations and the words. 

Each in itself tells its own story. 
Thank you.

And here How to Draw Cartoons on your Kindle!

This book is designed for anyone and everyone who has ever thought that they could have been a cartoonist if only they knew how. Handwritten and hand drawn, it answers questions about cartooning in simple, visual terms. What materials do you use? What size do you draw? How do you caricature, or keep a likeness in a strip cartoon character? These are just a few of the technical problems facing the beginner which Peter Maddocks tackles, but he also considers the inspirational side of cartoons - what comes first, the idea or the artwork; once you've had a bright idea, how do you transfer it on to paper? And he supplies captions and examples of cartoons to help you draw that very first masterpiece. Peter Maddocks was a full time professional Cartoonist, both in National Newspapers, films and TV animation.

Out today! Luna Sanguis By Simon Okill

Paris 1925. A young woman is nearing her Eternal Vampire state as her birthday approaches. She is held captive by the hybrid vampire she created and slowly drained of her pure blood to keep his addiction in check. She outwits him and escapes to a chateau in the hope of reaching maturity. But he follows her unmistakable scent and massacres all that dare protect his supply of Eternal blood.
She awakens in a tiny room trapped and defenceless with amnesia, but something deep in her subconscious yearns to be set free by the next full moon – the date of her Eternal Birthday.
Her true self, Eternal, emerges in brief flashes of awareness to protect her from the horrors of this terrifying prison. Desperate, she forges an alliance with her true love, a gorgeous young doctor treating her.
But her nemesis is out there somewhere, relishing the hunt for her blood – and nothing will stop him from becoming Eternal.
