  • Say NO to PIRACY!

    Since the explosion of e-books on the market, e-piracy has been a horrendous problem for all authors.

    A free book? Many readers will look at the prospect as a dream come true, but readers are unaware of e-piracy's consequences.

    E-piracy takes money (our bread and butter) right out of our pockets and, in 2009, has taken BILLIONS of sales dollars from hardworking authors.

    If E-piracy continues, authors will be forced to stop producing e-books. Publishers might have to encrypt books, raising costs, and making it impossible for readers to share or use on multiple e-readers.

    All books (including e-books) have a copyright. If you're caught uploading, transferring, selling, copying, or sharing an e-book, you can be fined $250,000.

    E-piracy is the same as stealing.

    Please support all authors in their fight against the dreaded e-piracy and say "NO" to anyone offering you a free copy of an e-book (other than an author).

Sci-Fi drama at its best

Posted by Tamela Quijas - Romance Author on January 8, 2011


As I promised, I am reviewing a vast amount of books from all different genres this year, which I will highlight on Thursdays.  I’m beginning my week a bit early (or late, as it may be) with a review from Gary Starta’s Gods of the Machines!

Recently, I had the chance to highlight Gary Starta’s sci-fi novel, Gods of the Machines, which I couldn’t wait to read.  The futuristic quality of the novel, as well as the drama that was involved, drew me from page one.  Starta writes a captivating tale of life in the future, where Detective Sam Benson’s newest assignment on Earth’s first colonized planet starts out as mundane, until murder begins to fill the pages.  Thrown into the middle of believable politics and corruption, Benson comes across an android who appears  to be a primary murder suspect. In this grueling tale of intrigue, filled with fascinating detective work, the newly forged planet of Ceres becomes a world of mesmerizing excitement.

Gods of  The Machines exhibits Starta’s finesse for blending mystery, murder, romance, and adventure.  His writing demonstrates a quality previously only exemplified by my favorite author, Jules Verne, where the reader is sucked into a mythical world that leaps from the pages.  Starta’s spellbinding  imagination is magnificent and his dynamic character of Sam Benson offers a page turning read that draws the reader into the pages of this fantastic tale. 

5 stars and a must read for any sci-fi fan!
