Mind Games (A New Book by Me!)

Hey everyone! I have a new book coming to Amazon Kindle on February 2, 2016! Keep on reading to see the cover, what it's about, and a bit of the creation behind it!

Look Ma, I'm on a cover!

Mark Whelms P.I. is a series I'm developing which might end up becoming 6-8 books depending on how I adapt the outline of the series. Mind Games, the first book, follows 18 year old Mark Whelms on his first day of becoming a private investigator. Luck hits him as his first case comes in: Finding out whether or not a bank robber is guilty since he can't remember robbing the bank. Mark uses his sleuthing skills and his power, the ability to look back through time, to gather clues and evidence, but discovers he may have opened a whole other can of worms.

Mark Whelms P.I. has been an idea I've been struggling to put together for a few years. First it started off as an idea for a short film, a murder-mystery/comedy about a killer who uses toxic silly string (strange, I know). Then, when that script was left undone, I tried twice to turn it into a novel, but barely getting past the third chapter. So then I put it on the back-burner for a bit, letting it simmer as I wrote The History of the Universe and some other projects.

Then it came to me. Hey, I thought, What if this became a webseries?

I thought about it for a bit then realized I didn't nearly have the time or budget for that what with work and school going on. So, I did the next best thing: I brought the story back into book form, but wrote it like a show where one book would be equal to one episode. This right here, Mind Games, is the pilot to the series.

So, if you're interested, I've got links down below to where you can buy the book on Amazon. If you're interested but on the fence about it, there's also a 3-chapter preview available on Wattpad!

"Need for Speed" (2014) REVIEW

I know I'm not the only one who thought this movie was going to be a flop. I mean, not only is it a high-speed street racing movie, but it's also a videogame movie. Still, I gave it a shot, but mostly for the D-Box experience. Even with the earnings from winning illegal street races, Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) is still unable to keep his auto repair shop from his father open. For a chance to get $500,000, Tobey takes an offer from his street racing rival and successful car dealer Dino Brewster (Domonic Cooper) to finish building the Ford Mustang that Caroll Shelby was working on when he died. After building the car and selling it without Dino's consent, Dino challenges Tobey and Tobey's friend, Pete, to a street race for the money. Nearing the end of the race, desperate for revenge, Dino pushes Pete over a bridge and drives away, leaving Tobey to be blamed for vehicular manslaughter. Two years later, fresh out of prison, Tobey seeks out to knock Dino off his p...

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" (2015) REVIEW

Anyone else felt the need to buy a suit after watching this movie? Ever since his dad passed away, Gary "Eggsy" Unwin has been doing his best to care for his mother. Unfortunately, his short temper with others including his stepfather doesn't help. When he lands into trouble, he calls the one number that can get him out of the tight spot. Little did he realized his connection would hire him for job unlike any other: a kingsman position in the secret organization of the same name. Using his physical and mental skills, Eggsy must train to prove his worth to the organization, but trouble is brewing as a billionaire inventor moves forward in his plan in recreating the world in his image. Kingsman: The Secret Service  was really unexpected for me. I had only seen bits and pieces of the trailers and have heard nothing but great things about the film. I can honestly say those remarks were not said in vain. Kingsman  is truly an amazing spy-flick, full of amazingly choreo...

"The Son of Neptune" (2011) by Rick Riordan REVIEW

WARNING: If you have not read the previous book in this series or the previous series this is following up on, I   think it'd be best to not read this post due to spoilers. After eight months of slumber, Percy Jackson wakes up without any memory of his past. Nothing, except a name: Annabeth . Trained by the Roman wolf teacher Lupa, Percy tries to find a safe haven for demigods like him, finding it in San Francisco, California. Percy knows he is safe there, but he also knows he doesn't belong there. Everything seems... off. Maybe because he somehow knows Greek mythology facts and Camp Jupiter, the safe place for demigods, uses Roman mythology. However, his safety is short-lived when he and his new friends, big, clumsy Frank Zhang and mysterious Hazel Levesque, are set to go on a quest to Alaska to free Thanatos, the god of death, from the hands of the giant Alcyoneus. The clock is ticking with less than five days on the counter as Percy struggles to lead his new friends ...
