EVEN MORE KENP read! #KindleUnlimited

And ANOTHER big THANK YOU to whoever is reading my books from The Bohatch Chronicles (in... Canada... there's another 5 star rating there, too, thank you)! It's your reading which makes me continue on, so if anyone asks, you're to blame!

I'm starting to make some progress on the next book/series at the moment. It should be a good one, whether only one book or a series!

In the meantime, if you'd like to see what all the fuss is about, Humanity H2O is here...

The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Review! *PART SPOILER*

 Another rant... this time... The Matrix Resurrections (2021)!!!

I loved the original Matrix AND the two other movies which followed. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were MADE for that type of film. The ideas, the special effects (Bullet Time was revolutionary at the time), and the acting were spot on.

Then I heard they were making a fourth film. WOW! I waited...

And I finally got to see it. Well... what can you do with this?

*PART SPOLIER* - I won't give much away.

The first hour tries to 'reset' the scenario, Neo is stuck in the matrix with psychological problems - we all are - and Trinity only has an inkling something isn't right.

Then it starts to feel like the original trilogy, though for myself only Reeves and Moss are strong. Neil Patrick Harris... I always expect him to start singing and dancing. 

And the end? Kinda feels like the first movie... but as I tweeted earlier... it's a sci-fi Hallmark Middle-aged romance...lol. Looking forward to what they can do with it. I'm sure there'll be another film.

Anyway, enough ranting...

Bruce Willis! What's going on?!?

Yep, a rant about Bruce Willis!

When I first saw Bruce Willis in Moonlighting, I knew this guy was for bigger things. Then he got into movies and he had some GREAT movies, including the Die Hard franchise (except the last one). The great movies just seem to pile up. Today I went to a list on Wiki to see how many there really were...(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Willis_filmography). 

So MANY films and SO many great ones! But now... 2021... there are 7 movies there. I've watched most of them. They're all terrible. Not just the story, the plot, the effects, the cast, the dialogue, but also Bruce! What's going on with Bruce?!?

Then I checked the whole list, to find where it all went wrong. He started to get a bit wobbly (his acting) after The Astronaut Farmer (a great film) back in 2006 and really hasn't created anything of substance since then. Sure, there's Glass in 2019, but even his role in that seems 'off'. Without the other actors in that film, it would be a rotten tomato. Before 2006, there were some 'okay' acting parts, but you could say that the last good, solid one was Unbreakable in 2000. Tears of the Sun (2003)... no range but almost believable, and Sin City (2005)...it's 'pulp', it's meant to be tacky... are passable. Red (2010) and its sequel, seem to be parodies of his earlier tough guy roles, but actually Red is a damn good film... BUT again, saved by the other actors. The fourth Die Hard movie (Live Free or Die Hard) still brings out something in Bruce, but his part in The Expendables films are... expendable.

I enjoy Armaggedon every time I see it. I like watching Live Free or Die Hard when I see it on the TV. And 12 Monkeys is always fun to catch.

But this year's selection? Bruce, please, whatever you're drinking, be it Hell or that other new stuff, put it down and find your old self! I'd love to watch a good 'ol Bruce Willis movie again!

Anyway, enough ranting...

THREE 5 star ratings for Humanity H2O! #scifi

 I'm usually quite good at noticing these things, but somehow, three...THREE 5 ratings appeared on 3 of the 4 books of Humanity H2O


This is fantastic! THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE! ...though it does make me question what happened with Radnoti X, book 2, quite a strong book, that one.

Write for someone to read!

 After all that excitement of the 4th book and the discount... The Bohatch Chronicles was a success! Not such a success as all those BIG writers out there do, but at least books went out and have a chance to be read at some point. 

The whole idea of writing is for someone to read. Without that, a writer is writing to the wind, to a vaccuum. What is the point of that? Or even worse, writing for 'family and friends'... only a few members of my family read my work, and friends... I have no idea. All I know is that 95% of my reviews and ratings are from people I don't know. Which is a good thing! Flattery isn't real. Unfortunately ignorance is (those 1 and 2 star reviews).

So... let's get back to... books! Sorry, they're back to normal price, which is STILL cheap,


So... waiting for more readers to take my work away and read it. Readers keep writers alive. No readers, no writers...

Enjoying Twitter, Being myself... and Being BLOCKED!

These past couple OF weeks (capitals for the Southern States there) have been fun, especially opening up on Twitter, trying to see if anyone is 'out there'. A few. Some people with interesting tweets, some people sharing their lives, their books, etc.

Me? I was trying to sell a few books (it worked... a little) and seeing if Twitter could handle the REAL me. Yes, look at my replies to other people's tweets. That's me, all me. I enjoyed reading what I found and replying to it.

Anyway... unfortunately, some people can't 'take me', especially those who aren't really being themselves. I can't say who it is, but there's one guy out there, who didn't like my replies. I can't say any more because last time I gave more information, the person tried to sue me. Me? I have no money. Just people like to hurt those they perceive to be 'smaller' than them.

I just thought I'd share. Watch out for yourselves on the web, there are people out there using and abusing you.

So... let's get back to... books! Sorry, these are no longer on offer, BUT they're still there!


So... waiting for more readers to take my work away and read it. Readers keep writers alive. No readers, no writers...

'Over Reif' Countdown...3 ...2018!

    The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2018!

In 2018, after waiting almost two years, How to Sink a Ship, the second How to book, was published by Line by Lion! It looked good, and a few paperbacks were sold.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088PYY9PX

I also wrote another novella, a short sci-fi one in the POV of a young kind, Blue Haze. It never really caught on...


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/790166

And that was it, really. I was in the process of writing another book in the How to series, but it was mainly a few ideas. So, a slow year, 2018...

'Over Reif' Countdown... 4.... 2017!

And thank you once again for those reading my books on KENP! It's great to wake up and find a reader or two!

   The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2017!

In 2017...well, it was a 'short story' year...

Dani's Shorts 7 came out...including my Annual Championship winning story...


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/755280

And again more stories in more collections... The Iron Writer 2017 includes my Annual winning story (and sadly the end of the Iron Writer... ominous...). CEA was a try at a Guinness Book Record. Flash was the second 100+ story anthology of 100+ authors.

'Over Reif' Countdown...5... 2016!

Thank you to those reading my books right now on KENP! You keep me me going! And now...

  The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2016!

In 2016 my excellent novella All For Love was published by a small publishing house, then I republished it about a year later. It's now FREE on Smashwords. It's a celebration of James Joyce's Ulysses (how?).


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SOZYR6G

One collection of Dani's Shorts Iron Writer stories came out...


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/725509

And more short stories were published in more collections...( the Writer's Game was actually Volume 2 but it's not available anywhere. The 8 More Fantastic Short Stories No One Gives a F#ck About (which was 6) has the story). Five Murdered Shakespearean Plays is now Six Murdered Shakespearean Plays.

'Over Reif' Countdown...8... 2013...

Yep, today the Over Reif and Under countdown is at... 2013...

One novel happened in 2013. It was... Manna-X. I wanted to add another book to my first three from the same 'universe', and it took some work but I did it. This was the MOST SUCCESSFUL BOOK I'd ever written... before the sci-fi series Humanity H2O and the Bohatch Chronicles came along. It really is something to read, it has some strange parts and characters, such as the Four Bobs.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D94CWF0


2013 actually started with a novella, TDX2 (Too Dull to Die), set in the same 'universe' as the first three books, it tells the story of a guy who was... as the title says. It's based on A Christmas Carol and you can download it for FREE over on Smashwords...

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/273975


I can't quite remember when, but at one time, in 2013 I got involved with a group of 'wannabe' writers called the Iron Writers, who wrote 200 and 500 word flash fiction and had 'competitions'. I began to write each and every single 'challenge' and created small collections called Dani's Shorts. The first came out in 2013 and is also FREE on Smashwords...

'Over Reif' Countdown...9... 2012...

 Today's countdown is 2012..

Well, 2012 was a busy year. I was on a buzz, I'd finished my first and only book and I got the bug! I wrote my 2nd, The Bethlehem Fiasco in 3 weeks! Yeah, and first copies had 50+ typos! It's the story of Jesus set in the same 'universe' of the first book... yes, it's 'The Life of Brian' but more 'out there'. It didn't do well, but those who read it, loved it, even clergymen!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007UJHQ42


I was still buzzing from writing two great books (but hit by the fact the second didn't sell well) and I knew I wanted to write an intelligent piece (as the second was just NUTS). So I wrote a sci-fi piece set in the distant past (in the same universe as the 1st and 2nd), The Rage of Atlantis... yes, it's about Atlantis, and one of the main characters is a talking dolphin. This book did better than the first two, and even has more Amazon reviews. Occasionally a sale appears.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EM2RRK


And today... the Bohatch Chronicles passed the 10,000 pages read in KENP! THANK YOU, READERS!

So if you still haven't started on Bohatch's journey, follow this link...

'Over Reif' Countdown... 1... 2020!

      The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2020!

In 2020...

Jasper T. Scott mentioned to me that I should try sci-fi... and so I did! What happened next was the Humanity H2O series, a 4 book series which has given me the greatest success so far in my 10 years of writing.


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H8GNYKP

The Iron Writer Challenges were resuscitated in 2020, and so I started writing short stories again, before Humanity H2O took up my writing time...so I brought out the 8th installment of Dani's Shorts...FREE...


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1028761

And the fourth 100+ stories from 100+ writers was published.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PT7N2JX

'Over Reif' Countdown...2 ...2019!

     The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2019!

In 2019... the third 100+ stories from 100+ authors came out...


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1074874242

And again, another slow year, but there was writing going on, just no publishing...a sleepy year for the one to come...(actually, I was busy writing my Masters thesis).

'Over Reif' Countdown... 6... 2015

 The Over Reif and Under Countdown is now on...2015!

In 2015 I had a novel published by Line by Lion Publications... How to Build a Castle in Seven Easy Steps, a comedy based in a mud civilisation of zombies, cannibals and... mud. Probably the greatest cover EVER and sold quite a few paperbacks.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SOZYR6G

I also wrote a novella called Alice on the Outside-In, to celebrate the publication of Alice in Wonderland. The story is based on the original, but is set inside a computer. It's FREE on Smashwords... the cover was created by a student - we planned to create an illustrated version but the project got only halfway.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/563002

I was also still heavily into short stories and flash fiction... Dani's Shorts 4 and 5 came out, FREE, of course, along with Ironology 2015, the official paperback collection of all 'winners' of the Iron Writer that year. 


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/529075


https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/587914


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1517237289

I also had another short story (two) included in another collection published by Line by Lion Publications, Desert Bus...


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01709WDTY

And had more stories published in a few more collections... Baby Shoes was the start of a long run of 100+ story anthologies from 100+ authors.
