Chat About Covers: Unraveled

  We’re starting a new feature here on Chapter Break called Chat About Covers. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do […]

The Sowing Review

The Sowing Review

 Julie’s Review:   This is kind of a “smart” book, with all the scientific language and descriptions of the chemicals in the food, as well as body processes. The prologue is narrated in first-person, which is really effective as the speaker gets murdered in an attack and talks about the body shutting down. The plot […]

Guest Post: Rachel Dunning on Writing to Please Everyone

Writing to Please Everyone (HINT: It Ain’t Gonna Happen…) by Rachel Dunning   The first book I ever wrote got two reviews almost instantly after publishing: A scathing, horrible, painful, depressing one-star. And a glorious, over-the-top, mind-blowing, filled-with-gifs, praising, laudatory five-star. The one-star was on Amazon. The five-star was on Goodreads. By chance, I happened to […]

The New Agenda Review

The New Agenda Review

 Julie’s Review: The New Agenda is treated more like a prequel than a continuation of the story from The City Center. Ava links into the mainframe to try to find Morray, and finds his memory archive – from there we follow William Morray’s coming of age story. While this was an interesting way to present […]
