Hello again friends and readers. First thank you for being friends and readers; I appreciate it. We are shaking things up here a bit in the coming month. What’s that you say? We here @ Gelati’s Scoop making a few

changes, unheard of. I have no idea where to begin or how to categorize the

changes. The easiest way for me to get this out is in a torrent, so let’s load

the shotgun and spray the ammo around shall we:

-We have almost…

I have been trying to sprinkle in some different things into the mix the last month or so. The paranormal, zombie , fright type novels have been giving me a case of the chills on occasion and I am more of a goose bump, action,

adventure, humor, mystery, OCD type guy. So, when I got a hold of The Blue Moon Café I thought, hey give

Sometimes we learn the most when we least expect it. The Instant: The Little Book of Death is an intriguing little book that will capture the imagination and provide food for…

Book publishing is a strange industry. It’s part business, part art; basically oil and water. No matter how much we stir it up, the two parts just do not blend. It is an industry built on emotions, passions, egoism,

and narrow focus. It’s dependent on publicity, which is also caught in the

bifurcation of the business, and the mercurial nature of the book buyer.

From the business end, the basic tenets…

Back in the mists of time, the mid-eighties, Marvel Comics came out with their very first mini-series. These were finite stories with a set number of issues, a

mainstay of comics today, but at the time something pretty radical.
