SHEP'S ADVENTURES, THE PERFECT YA ENTERTAINMENT!

Posted by Daniel Janik on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, In : New Book Release 

One particularly glaring weakness that I discovered while teaching in our public schools for thirty plus years is the shortage of really good reading material for preteens and early adolescents.  I am also the grandfather to two boys in that age group, and it is easy to see from that position also. That is why I decided to come out of my usual murder/mystery genre and write this story about my childhood dog and best friend, Shep.


Of course, my Shep could not actually talk, but I often imagin...

An article about Richard Rose's newly-released screenplay-novel, COMIC CRUSADERS (Aignos 2019) just appeared in Chicago's "Skyline" Newspaper (http://www.richardroseonline.com/skyline2020a.html). In the book, a teenage cartoonist uses a magic pen to bring a superhero to life to help him find his father, who has mysteriously disappeared. In doing so, he unwittingly unleashes a grotesque supervillain and his Dark Legion, challenging him to find a way to save his father while preventing the Dark...

THE PRINCESS IN MY HEAD

Posted by Daniel S. on Thursday, September 20, 2018, In : New Book Release 

What I like best about THE PRINCESS IN MY HEAD (Aignos 2018) is that both the novel and the screenplay come together in one book.  Young readers can actively participate in the story by reading parts out loud, staging scenes and even creating their own musical. 

Two “princesses” – one in a Renaissance world and the other in modern time - are learning to lead and inspire, each in her own way.  This is a theme I visit in my adult mysteries also: the evolution of personal strength.  The her...

Living in IMMINENT DANGER with LAWYERS

Posted by Daniel S. on Tuesday, March 11, 2014, In : New Book Release 
When A. G. Hayes' new action-adventure spy book, the third in the Koski and Falk series, IMMINENT DANGER (Savant 2014) was released, I for one, didn't expect it to mirror the mood of today's times and conditions quite so vividly. In the book, a rock-star/religious extremist attempts a 9/11 "comeback" by orchestrating the mass assassination of the world's religious leaders, including the Pope, at an Easter sunrise service at the Hollywood Bowl. Only Koski and Falk, two of Cerebrus' most experi...
