International Author's Day

It's that time of the year again; International Author's Day. Yay.
This blog hop is hosted by book r3vi3ws.


This blog hop is about the authors who have touched our lives. They are so many and I could take this time to talk about established authors that I read; +Diana Gabaldon +JK Rowling or +Anne Rice all of whom have influenced my own writing...but then there is someone who has impacted me and my writing; we've collaborated on a never ending story and he's that unicorn. A cerebral guy.
His name is Munyasa Khasiani and his digital footprint is minimal; but he just released a book of Poetry called Of Vice and Pen Volume One.
Now I'm not really one for the abstract, or poetry for that matter. I barely understand complex rap. If Jay Z didn't have such catchy beats his raps would literally fly past me at speed because...what? I mean if someone explains it to me, then great. I enjoy learning. But on my own, I'm not able to comprehend that shit.
But if you're into the deep stuff, the real stuff, the really emotional stuff. Munyasa's your guy. Check him out on Amazon and let me know what you thought. Better yet, let him know.

In addition to introducing an author to you, the blog hop is about me giving away something author related. So click on the link below and win!

International Authors Day

Today is International Authors Day and I'm participating in the blog hop hosted by book r3vi3ws. I love to get lost in the worlds created by books and today I will be appreciating Maria Doria Russell who is one author who created a totally new world in her books Children of God and The Sparrow.
These books follow the journey of Emilio Sandoz who starts out as a Jesuit priest. Now just because he's a Jesuit, I have like a thing about Jesuits these days. If I was a man I'd totally want to be one. They seemed so evolved. Anyway, they discover an inhabitated planet named Alpha Centauri and its all about how God's will works and the myriad of 'coincidences' that bring about an event. Its crazy, its epic, it makes you think in a way that you hope will happen when you pick up a book. It absorbs you in a new alternate universe that you hadn't previously imagined. I highly recommend it and appreciate Maria Doria Russell for penning it.
