Thanks, Author Mike Miracle, for joining us!



1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Originally from the east coast, Mike Miracle and his family now reside on a farm in the Midwest. Mike was able to use his programming skills to start his own small business from home, where every day is casual Friday. The title of my book is ‘The Next’, it is my first published book. The genre, science fiction with drama/thriller wrapped around it like a chalupa. I’m in self-publishing.



2. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
Well, I’ve only written 1, it’s the winner so far. After I put the finishing touches on book 2??? It’s like asking a parent which child is their favorite. I’ll tell you but you have to promise not to tell them…
3. What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?
‘Child 44’ by Tom Rob Smith.



4. If you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be?
Lottery numbers, or maybe a stock tip or two.
5. Does writing energize or exhaust you?
Oh, it’s definitely energizing. It’s exciting to watch and feel the story take shape. Some scenes can be tedious, or maybe they need to be rewritten a few times. But that just jacks up the ‘ah ha’ feelings towards it.  

6. Music or silence?
Silence. The story must have the ability to grow on its own. Can’t be influenced by smooth jazz or Loverboy. ‘Lovin’ every minute of it’ can be played after a successful chapter. Full disclosure, I had to google that for the correct spelling, and I watched the video. The 80’s were a weird time indeed.



7. What was your hardest scene to write?
It would have to be about a character named Peaches. She’s had a rough go of it in recent years. I don’t want to give too much of the story away. Let’s just say that Peaches had issues after a head injury, or two, remembering things. It’s not easy to write something from the perspective of someone who is having difficulties like that. You want to be creative and unique with the situation, but you don’t want to go too far off into the weeds and lose the reader.




8. Are you working on a new story now? What details can you reveal about it at this time?
‘The Next’ will be a series of books. I don’t know how many just yet, I’m nearly finished with the second, and it feels like the third installment is taking shape.



9. Do you have any suggestions for those who want to become a writer?
Tell your story. It’s very therapeutic. Even if you never publish it, writing is very satisfying. If you do want to publish it then there are many options for the independent author these days.

Here are two versions of Author Mike Miracle's new book cover for The Next. Which do you like best (please feel free to vote below)?

It's All Going Downhill From Here: Spy School Goes South by Stuart Gibbs

Another one? Yes. I know what you're thinking. Becky, you just wrote about this dude last week. You reviewed his The Last Musketeer book. Did you seriously just read another one of his books? I did. Indeed, I did. Last week, I told you, I can't help but enjoy Stuart Gibb's light-hearted books . His characters and stories are fun and fast reads. They have a little of something for everyone, and for a few minutes, you totally forget that they're about thirteen-year-olds and geared toward that age range. Why? Because the mysteries are engaging. The characters are silly. The plots are clean, and it's nice to read something for fun without being drowned in anything too serious or upsetting. His characters are sweet. The plots are enjoyable and easy to get through. It's peaceful reading at its finest, and family fun for all. You always know the mystery will be solved, the characters will make it out alive, and it takes me back to my own childhood and my love of

WWII Movie Research: My Top Five Beware I'm a fan of the visual, and I have included several pictures from the movies which I found on Google Images. The copyrights and cookies are not owned by me, and I only included them to give you a more complete look at the movies. Enjoy! :) R esearch is difficult. You know what I'm talking about, right? Trying to find the exact articles, books, documentaries, and more can be exhausting.  As a writer, I want to do my best to represent what I'm putting out. We all make mistakes or miss something at times, but I hope to give an excellent picture of my story, history, and more importantly, my characters. S o, in researching for my four-part, historical fiction series, I've been working hard to find out what's happening on the home front as well as the war front during WWII. I hope you will bear with me as I continue my research and share what I have found so far. I hope my books will live up to the standard I have se

Nobody's Victim by Carrie Goldberg

Do you ever read a book and think, "I wish I could meet this person in real life?" Because I just read the most insightful nonfiction book, Nobody's Victim , where that was my immediate reaction. This is someone I have come to highly respect, when a month ago I didn't even know her name.  Carrie Goldberg is a lawyer, and before you boo (completely legit reaction to that profession), let me share a little more about her and her book. You might find you don't mind that she's a lawyer after you hear what I have to say. Her law firm C.A. Goldberg, PLLC is established in Brooklyn, and she owns it to help litigate for those who have become targets for harassment, sexual assault, blackmail - online and offline, and revenge porn. That's right. She's one of the good guys, and she's a herione in more ways than one. Originally from Aberdeen, Washington, Carrie went to Vassar College and received her Bachelor's degree before heading over to Brookl
