Affiliated with Seventh Star Press: Free E-book Time for Angelkiller by David Blalock

Angelkiller (The Angelkiller Triad)
Why do bad things happen to good people? Simple. In the ancient war between the Angels of Light and Darkness, the Dark won. Now it is the job of an undercover force simply known as The Army to rectify that.

Using every tool available, The Army has worked to liberate our world from The Enemy for thousands of years, slowly and painfully lifting Mankind out of the dark. On the front of the great Conflict are the Angelkillers, veterans of the fight with centuries of experience.

Jonah Mason is an Angelkiller, and his cell is targeted as part of a plot to unseat a very powerful Minion of The Enemy. Mason and his troop are drawn into a battle that stretches from real-time to virtual reality and back. The Conflict is about to expand into cyberspace, and if Mason is unable to stop it, The Enemy will have gained dominion over yet another realm.

Learn About Pantheons: Review of Pantheons by E. J. Dabel


1. Thanks so much E.J. for being able to answer questions for  @ Book & Movie Dimension a Blog!


What can readers who haven't discovered your novel expect with Pantheons?


Add Pantheons to Your Goodreads.com Shelf 
You’re welcome, Cassandra! Readers who haven’t discovered my novel yet can expect to find a lot about teen gods and teen goddesses.  Deities have never been so cool, especially when you have teenagers like Zeus, Odin, Loki, and many others walking around in High School! Readers can also expect a great hero in Isaiah Marshall, the son of Zeus who’s prophesied to overthrow his cruel and sadistic father.  The fights between these young gods who’ve been sentenced into mortal form, yet retain their godly powers, are unique and mind-boggling.  


2. What was the process of creating Pantheons in terms of research and coming up with ideas?


The research for Pantheons was intense, and no other words can quite describe it.  When you’re dealing with gods from around the globe, there’s no way you can get around long hours of gathering information.  My research covered not only the Greek gods, but Norse, Egyptian, Finnish, Hindu, Celtic, Asian, Native American Indian, Babylonian, other Pantheons yet to be revealed, as well as those born in the modern day called godlings.  


3. How long did it take to finish Pantheons? Did it feel long to you or like it flew by?


It didn’t take me long to finish Pantheons.  I was having so much fun with Isaiah that it flew by.  It was the research that took the longest time, I’d have to say.


4. On the characters of Pantheons: Which would you say was your favorite to write about and why? 


I would have to say Isaiah Marshall, because he’s new at being a teen god.  Isaiah is trying to figure out his emerging powers, while some of the teen gods and goddesses he’s dealing with can already harness the very power of the sun itself, which is just one of the many things some of them can do.  He’s up against some major obstacles and doesn’t have much time to figure it all out.  I’d have to say Isaiah’s situation is just like your typical first day of High School, you’re never really quite ready for it, everything comes at you fast and you have to learn to adapt to the pressures of those four years as best as you can. Then there’s the issue of having to deal with your parents, the good, the bad, the scars you receive and those you deal out in that sometime turbulent relationship.       


5.  With the way things ended with Pantheons would we be seeing more of Sam, Pipsqueak, Jeremy, and Monty in future books?

Finding out that a favorite novel will be adapted to film can be simultaneously exhilarating and disappointing for devoted readers.

Here are ten examples of movies that have major plot differences from the novels that spawned them.

Affiliated with Seventh Star Press: Free E-book Time for Overkill by Steven L. Shrewsbury


Deliverance will come…
A great flood once wiped clean the earth, destroying everything upon it. Before the deluge, in a time now forgotten, the world was a place of warriors and witches, conflicts between kingdoms, and, until their
extermination, dragons. 

In this world, men may live centuries, fallen angels have begotten terrifying spawn, and sometimes, the best hope can be found in a brothel.

In the land of Transalpina, a new religion spreads, and important men are dying mysteriously, slain by what can only be the fire of dragon breath. Summoned by the Queen Garnet, the legendary warrior Gorias La Gaul returns to the place where he once saved the queen's young granddaughter from treachery and enslavement. The Princess Nykia is gone, and soon others may try to claim the throne. The queen has little choice but to turn to the only man who ever told her no.

With the aid of one of the queen's elite guard, the battle maiden Alena, and the young palace servant Orsen, the old mercenary will face pirates and traitors, monsters and foul magic in the quest to find the missing heir and learn the truth behind the disconcerting murders.

Deliverance will come for Gorias La Gaul, but for now there are women to love, secrets to discover, and killing that needs doing.
