This week, a group of authors of the ITW are discussing how to bring readers into a conspiracy with the writers:
George Bernard Shaw said that “all professions are conspiracies against the laity.” This week, we ask ITW Members Robert Rotstein, Evonne Wareham and J. H. Bográn “How do writers invite readers into the conspiracy?” You won’t want to miss it!

Come and enjoy the fun.

And the veil is lifted for my new novel
I've posted about Highland Creek in the past. I've also mentioned that it would most likely suffer a change in the title.
Well, now the deed is done and thanks to the support of a group of friends I managed to find a suitable title for my next novel:
Fellow Death Toll author Stephen Edger invited me to visit his blog, so I took the chance to explain how the title change came about. Here's the link:

About the Death Toll
DEATH
TOLL: An Anthology Short Thriller
Fiction; Full Length Adrenalin-- Stephen Leather, Alex Shaw, JH Bográn, Stephen
Edger, Liam Saville, and Howard Manson, with an introduction by Jake Needham.
You are embarking on an expedition into the dangerous, deadly world of
assassins, spies, cold-blooded killers, rogue robbers and ruthless revenge. Of
course the stories are great. They wouldn't be here otherwise. But the
inspiration was to create an opportunity for some brand new writers to work
alongside a few seasoned writers and a few bestsellers and then see their work
published with the best in the business. The result is a collection of eight
short stories that delight in the ultimate dirty deed. Everybody dies, but some
deaths are just more entertaining than others. We’ve found those for you, and
this anthology is here to introduce you to the work of these excellent thriller
writers: established, and up and coming masters of the short story form.
The title is
now available as a
paperback

and kindle.

About Tom Cruise's Oblivion
By some
weird quirk of life, Tom Cruise’s new movie Oblivion opened up in my neck of
the woods a couple days sooner than in the U.S.
Not the
first time, won’t be the last time either.
Last night,
my wife and I went to see it with the hopes that the title didn’t refer to the actor’s career. The first thing that caught my attention,
before even the movie started, was the trailer for the After Earth. I mean,
come on, this means movies with settings in post-apocalyptic Earth is the new “black”
in the Hollywood fashion world.
But let’s
go back to Oblivion.
After a
disturbing introduction narrated by the Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), we are shown
a world destroyed, abandoned, and most of it poisoned with radiation. However,
Harper and his Supervisor are stationed to maintain and safeguard some
equipment necessary for the Earth survivor’s colony in the moon Titan (Yes, the
same one used by the Enterprise to hide from the Narada in the 2009’s reboot of
Star Trek). Trouble soon arrives Jack discovers who the real enemies are.
Action
packed, filled with non-obtrusive visual effects. Even if the story is not
entirely original, the thrills are enough to sit through your urge to buy a
popcorn refill.
All in all,
the movie is not half bad, actually. And for a 50 year old, Tom can still pull
it off as a mid-thirties guy.
