The Apocalypse Blog Book 1: End of the Old

The Apocalypse Blog Book 1: End of the Old Review

"The world is broken. It's broken and it wants to kill us. All of us. I think it might succeed."

On Christmas Eve, a bomb tears apart the city where Faith MacIntyre lives. At first, it feels like the whole world has ended. After a while, Faith realises that feeling might be right.

Help stops coming, communications break down, and Faith's group is increasingly isolated. They push on to get to the hospital, the last hope for their injured, fighting loss and starvation and other, desperate people who have turned to violence in the darkness.

Worse, it seems as if nature itself is broken and turned against them. Acid taints the rain, dissolving the city around Faith and her group. They soon realise that the hardest battle to fight is the one for hope.

This is the first installment of Faith's journey, with new, extended content!

Contains violence, occasional swearing and adult themes.

Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better

Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better Review

Sticky Readers is a humorous, but helpful book about writing better blog posts. While the book is helpful for all writers, it was written with bloggers in mind.

Sticky Readers explains the various ways to make your writing more engaging (i.e. less boring) so that a reader will "stick" around for the whole thing, rather than read the first paragraph, get bored and leave.

Sticky Readers is not a book about English grammar, but a book about how to tell an engaging story.

It also includes a section about combating writer's block and a list of Top Ten Mistakes that bloggers make to drive readers away.
