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)...

"Paper Towns" (2008) by John Green

Phew! Read it with a month to spare before the movie comes out! Ever since they met each other when they were toddlers, timid and worrisome Quentin "Q" Jacobsen has loved Margo Roth Spieglemen, a girl who likes to live life on the edge. Up until a fateful night in their senior year, Q and Margo have only traded few words. On said night, Margo comes into Q's room and ask him for a favor: Be the assistant of the nine things she wants to do tonight to get back at those who wronged her. It's a crazy night, and Q will never forget it. Deep down inside, he hopes this will change their friendship. However, the day after their escapades, Margo disappears without a trace. That is, until Q and his friends realize she left clues behind about her whereabouts. However, the more clues Q puts together, the more he realizes Margo wasn't always the person she lead them all to believe. Being a fan of John Green's other works ( Looking for Alaska , The Fault in our Stars...

"Jurassic World" (2015) REVIEW

If movies like Jurassic Park III  and Batman and Robin  couldn't kill their franchises, nothing can. Set 23 years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World's business is booming, especially when new attractions are added to the mix. However, to win the money of the investors, the director of Jurassic World challenges the scientists to create a genetically engineered dinosaur, something no one has ever seen before. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned when their experiment manages to run rampant through the park, putting the lives of tourists at risk. Plus, the more time they waste, the more intelligent the creature their hunting becomes. As a fan of both the movie franchise and the first novel by Michael Crichton, I'm sure I wasn't the only one with a sense of obligation to watch this installment to the series. I wouldn't say I was fearful the movie would flop, but I had my worries. Amazingly, though, Jurassic World  breaks the barriers of e...

"Animal Farm" (1956) by George Orwell REVIEW

Well whattaya know? I actually got around to reading a classic. At the Manor Farm, life for the animals is horrible. They are overworked, underfed, and all around mistreated by their human owners. There was talk of a rebellion for years, and, one day, the animals of the farm finally act upon the idea of freedom, scaring away the human owners once and for all, keeping and running the farm for themselves. Lead by the pigs, the smarter species on the farm, the animals create commandments and slogans ("Four legs good, two legs bad!"), everyone willing to follow these ideas to the very end. However, the animal-ruled freedom may not be what they dreamed. In fact, it may just be worse than before their revolution. Even though George Orwell's Animal Farm  was written fifty years ago, it's writing still remains strong and fresh, it's message and characters still ringing clear and relates to our present-day matters. A short read, Orwell manages to craft a full plot ...
