Crushed Trachea Blues

About Crushed Trachea Blues

Suicide by Jiu-Jitsu? A beloved MMA fighter has turned up dead. The DA office is dragging its feet. Snarky yet noble private eye Paisley Fuentes is hired to determine what happened.

Follow Paisley under the dark underbelly of Los Angeles and over the alabaster backside of the Hollywood Hills as he ventures into intimidating MMA gyms, corporate high-rises, and the unforgiving wastes of Death Valley. Take a shot of tequila with Paisley before he tussles with vegan crime bosses, nerd assassins, and–get this–AI Charles Manson. It’s a perplexing case, but he has help in his weirdo bodyguard Mazagon, his gold prospector friend Tutmoses Ochoa, and a borax miner called Unethical Ted. Can they stop an illegal music festival out in the desert before it starts a war between the bloodmouths and the haybreaths?

It’s as much a whydunnit as it is a whodunnit in Crushed Trachea Blues. Because Paisley would like to cash that check and get back to street tacos and tequila shots. You in?

Lancelot Schaubert

Interview With Author Lancelot Schaubert

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Dozens, I don’t count.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
COLD BREWED —

Jett Cropper’s best friend dies from a bad coffee roast that had been laced with chicory. To find the new burnt Master Roaster behind this mess, Jett dives into the city’s underworld to bring back justice no matter the cost.

Told through both words and pictures, COLD BREWED takes place in a classic prohibition-era world where coffee is currency and third-wave coffeeshop lingo is drug slang.

Though filed among other graphic novels, this unique story uses silent film and film noir techniques. COLD BREWED favors classy black and white photographs over pencil sketches — a grittier grandson of the narrative form developed in Selznick’s books “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “Wonderstruck.”

Shot and produced in and around Joplin, Missouri, Cold Brewed reinvented the photo novel for the 21st Century and testifies to the art revival happening in the formerly tornado-devastated town.

____

“You get where you wonder how life got so whipless. Been there before, didn’t want to go back.

“Did anyway.

“It happens. You end up staring at your boots asking how they got so wet. How the water on them got so hard. Guess these days, there ain’t enough grinders like me left on the streets. Everything’s darker than it used to be – more burnt, less clean.

“Some new Master Roaster comes into town and tampers with the trade and everything ends up in the knock box and the water gets hard again and runs the drains over.

“And when there ain’t enough grinders like me who’re willing to crawl down in there, down into the sewers to filter it all back out, then all that hard water creeps up higher and higher till it spoils us all…”

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
In the sense that I write anywhere, see it as a job, and have a minimum word count, yes. I’m not fussy about it, I’m a workhorse who grew up poor and underprivileged, though there are certainly those in the world that had and have it worse than me. It’s not something I fuss about.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Dostoevsky and anyone you’d find in the Harvard Classics, Britannica Great Books, Eastern Classics, Desert Fathers, or Prenicene, Nicene, Post-nicene fathers.

Huge influence from the inklings, but also with the kinds of writers who think like them, before and after. David Bentley Hart and NT Wright form a sort of philosophical core to my thinking.

I love Chesterton’s impressionism, hate his anti-semitism and unholy bloodlust. George MacDonald is as close as we get to a saint in fantasy writers.

Gobs of women like Dianne Duane and Juliet Marrilier and Kaaron Warren and LJ Cohen pour into my mind. I’m a fan of Langston Hughes, several Arab poets I heard live, all the romantic poets, Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy, lots and lots and lots of myths. All of the golden age science fiction writers, I could do this for forever. Weird little academic abstracts.

Also… why don’t we count song lyrics? The OH Hellos? Jon Batiste? Denison Witmer? Sufjan? All the old Irish ballads?

Anyways.

What are you working on now?
Six novels. One’s called Overmorrow that’s having issues. It’ll be out late 2025. I hope. It’s a portal fantasy, in a way, sort of a dark NYC Narnia.

A small town vampire fantasy with a dreamworld interplay.

A cyberpunk security state YA thriller.

A sequel to Bell Hammers as well as a prequel. The sequel is a white trash carpenter’s disco heist. The prequel is basically THE ROAD starring a little girl in midcentury America.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Word of Mouth. I ask all of my readers to read their copies, sign their copies, and pass their copies on like a massive lending library. If you want to keep one, buy two and lend the other one out.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write either every day or enough weekly that’s its as good as if you wrote every day. Do the same with reading. Keep a commonplace journal, preferably in multiple places, to keep track of the quotes that make up your mind. With page citations. Play an instrument and fiddle with paint to keep the spirit of play. Understand basic ontology and virtue ethics. Study personal finance and business reinvestment. Learn a bit about personal reconciliation with mediators and do counseling as very least as often as you’d change the oil in your car. Understand grammar (how language works), logic (how to string thoughts together), and rhetoric (how to communicate your thoughts incarnate words to other people so they believe what you believe or at very least understand it). Have a spiritual director. Indulge in less and less dopamine addictions — particularly substance abuse and eating and sleep disorders. Keep submissions in the mail AND self-produce as an entrepreneur.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
It’ll only get better when you want it to, so say “mea culpa,” reform yourself, then reform the world. AND REFORM THE WORLD YOU MUST. But first, yourself. Too many students these days want to change the entire administration and system when they’re being forced to read a 4,000 page book. Maybe the administration isn’t the problem. Maybe you’re just lazy and don’t understand the purpose of learning and doing the hard thing.

Do the hard thing, grow up, then change the system. Both need changed, but it’s so so much easier to look within and change yourself first, if something needs changed.

CoDa anonymous starts similar to Alcoholics Anonymous: “We admitted we were powerless over others – that our lives had become unmanageable.” You can’t control other people, but you can advocate for systemic change. But first, yourself.

What are you reading now?
I’m in the middle of NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND by Dostoevsky, IN SEARCH OF WONDER by Damon Knight, a bunch of articles by Aristotle Papanikolaou, and some stories for our scifi critique group. Also gonna read YUMI AND THE NIGHT PAINTER by Sanderson soon.

What’s next for you as a writer?
More stories, more investment in the career, more music and multimedia production.

And building out a team to manage it all.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
There’s one book folks never use in this question, and it’s the correct answer for everyone:

— Country Wisdom and Know-How, Everything You Need to Know to Live Off the Land

1. The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien
2. The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky
3. The Resurrection of the Son of God by Wright OR a copy of the Bible OR a copy of the Bible + desert fathers, depending on whether or not anthologies count. But if they do, it changes my first to answers to their entire ouvre

BATTLEFIELD UKRAINE: Three Heavy Days of a Tank Company Commander

About BATTLEFIELD UKRAINE: Three Heavy Days of a Tank Company Commander

This book recounts the true story that unfolded in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine from February 24 to 26, 2022. Due to the region’s proximity to Crimea, Russian forces were rapidly advancing, posing a grave threat to surround and annihilate Ukrainian military forces on the left bank of the Dnipro River. Urgently, Ukrainian forces attempted to retreat to the right bank.
In a daring move to assist his comrades in arms and enable their escape from the encirclement, a fearless young Lieutenant, the commander of a tank company, risked his life to secure an exit for a large Ukrainian military convoy over the Antonovsky Bridge. Engaging the enemy in battle, he etched his name into history as a hero, defending his country.

Chris Armstrong

Interview With Author Chris Armstrong

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have had three careers, merchant seaman, farmhand on the Welsh farm where I still live, and information scientist working both in the university and for my own company before I retired to write. I have published three poetry collections, Mostly Welsh, Book of the Spirit and Lost Time, as well as a work of fiction – The Dark Trilogy – and a collection of short stories: When I Am Not Writing Poetry.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The latest book was a collection of poems called Lost Time: Chorus and Other Poems. Although I write fiction – I am just completing another work – my first love was poetry and I have written some 500+ poems. The latest selection brings together poems that relate to place (mostly Wales), the Sea (if not the sea, then the horizon! The sea is always there in my life), Writing, Memories and Time – I love to explore how we live in time.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write mostly directly to the screen of my desktop computer and edit as I go – often changing words, word order line order in poems, or even sentence and paragraph order. Very often I do not plan a story or plot I just sit down and begin typing and somehow the right words find their way to my fingers from my brain!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
A very tricky question – I have read so much! In fiction I would have to reference Nabokov (particularly Ada and Pale Fire), James Joyce, Durrell’s quartet and quintet; poetry is even more difficult with many Anglo Welsh writers such as R S Thomas and Dylan Thomas contrasting with Leonard Cohen and the American beat poets. And T S Eliot.

What are you working on now?
I have just completed a work of fiction called Trystan, which follows the lives and misfortunes of two men through their day in a small Welsh seaside town; both trying desperately to rise above their troubles. The idea was inspired by Joyce’s Ulysses and, like that work, has a background in a classic – in my case, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult – the main chapters being named for and making oblique references to the chapters of the original: an odd phrase, an artefact… but it is in no way a retelling of The Romance. The main chapters are written in the voice of one or other of the two protagonists, Trystan and his friend George. Their individual but interweaving stories are divided by a series of Interlude chapters.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
My blog and website: https://curatedlines.online/

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just start writing!

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never stop writing!

What are you reading now?
I have about 6 books on the go – works of poetry such as Ruth Bidgood and most recently Zosia Kuczynska, Jo Shapcott and the beautifully written Cairn by Kathleen Jamie – that is the way to use language. Non fiction: Bibliophobia by Brian Cummings, Letters from Wales by Sam Adams, and so much fiction!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I am putting together another collection of poems.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Laurence Durrel’s The Avignon Quintet; James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake; If Only the Sea Could Sleep (Adonis); The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas edited by John Goodby and perhaps something by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

Alexander M

Interview With Author Alexander M

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in building and scaling businesses across multiple countries, including Ukraine, Germany, the UK, and the USA. My approach is focused on practical, no-nonsense strategies that get results. I’ve written one book, designed to provide straightforward, actionable advice for entrepreneurs looking to start or grow their businesses.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is “The Entrepreneur’s Guidebook: Essential Strategies for Small Business Growth.” This book was inspired by my personal journey of building businesses amidst incredible challenges, including the war in Ukraine, which forced me to leave my home and adapt to new environments.

Surviving and thriving in the face of uncertainty has taught me that entrepreneurship is not just about growth—it’s about survival. Whether you’re navigating a war zone or a tough market, the principles of resilience, adaptability, and strategic decision-making are universal. This book is a reflection of the hard-learned lessons that helped me not only survive but succeed in diverse and competitive environments. It’s for those who understand that real-world business isn’t glamorous—it’s tough, but with the right tools and mindset, anyone can come out on top.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, my writing habits are rooted in my experience as an entrepreneur. I approach writing the same way I approach business—straightforward, without distractions or unnecessary fluff. I often write in short, intense bursts, focusing on delivering value and actionable insights. My goal is to get straight to the point, so I avoid filler and focus on practical strategies that readers can immediately apply. I also tend to write late at night when everything is quiet, using the calm to reflect on the lessons I’ve learned from the challenges I’ve faced, especially during the war.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Several authors and books have influenced my approach to both business and writing. Simon Sinek’s “Start with Why” helped shape my understanding of leadership and purpose in business. Peter Thiel’s “Zero to One” inspired me to think about innovation and how to build something truly unique. Additionally, Tim Ferriss’ “The 4-Hour Workweek” challenged me to rethink productivity and efficiency, which I apply in both my work and writing. However, my biggest influence comes from real-world experience, where I’ve had to blend theory with the brutal realities of entrepreneurship in crisis situations.

What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m focused on expanding my TechMasters business, offering expert computer repair and custom PC builds across the Chicago area. Alongside that, I’m developing new content that dives deeper into the practical strategies entrepreneurs can use to survive and grow in uncertain times. I’m also exploring new ways to share my business knowledge, potentially through online courses and workshops, to help others apply the lessons I’ve learned from building businesses in challenging environments.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best method I’ve found for promoting my books is through social media and targeted online ads. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow me to reach specific audiences who are interested in entrepreneurship and small business growth. Additionally, Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) promotional tools, such as Kindle Countdown Deals and Free Book Promotions, help to boost visibility. Creating engaging content, such as practical business tips and personal insights from my entrepreneurial journey, and sharing them across LinkedIn and YouTube, has also been effective in building a loyal audience interested in my book.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for new authors is to focus on authenticity and actionable content. Don’t try to please everyone—write with a specific audience in mind and deliver real value. Avoid fluff and filler; readers appreciate direct, practical insights that they can apply immediately. Consistency is key, both in writing and in promoting your work, so set clear goals and stick to them. Also, don’t be afraid to leverage your personal experiences, even the difficult ones—they make your voice unique and relatable. Lastly, treat your book like a business: market it, engage with your audience, and be relentless in getting it in front of the right people.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve ever heard is: “Adapt or die.” This simple yet powerful phrase has guided me through the toughest challenges in both life and business. Whether you’re facing a market shift, a personal setback, or even a crisis like war, your ability to adapt is what keeps you moving forward. Success isn’t about having the perfect plan—it’s about being flexible, learning from every situation, and making adjustments to stay on track. This mindset has helped me build businesses in different countries and survive through unpredictable circumstances.

What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m reading the Bible. It’s a source of deep wisdom and reflection, offering valuable lessons that can be applied to both personal life and business. It helps me stay grounded and offers perspective, especially when facing challenges.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, my next step is to dive deeper into practical business guides that focus on helping entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty and rapid change. I’m also exploring the idea of creating online courses or workshops to complement my writing, offering more hands-on, actionable advice for those looking to grow their businesses. Additionally, I’m considering expanding into personal development, blending my experiences with entrepreneurship and the mindset needed to thrive in challenging environments.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
If I were stranded on a desert island, I’d bring a combination of books that offer wisdom, practical survival skills, and personal growth. Here’s what I’d take:

The Bible – For spiritual guidance, reflection, and inner strength during difficult times.
“Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe – A classic survival story filled with practical lessons on resourcefulness and resilience.
“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey – For staying focused on long-term personal and professional growth, even in isolation.
A comprehensive survival guide – Something with practical advice on survival tactics, such as shelter building, foraging, and navigation, just in case!
After experiencing the reality of war, where a rocket could be headed for your home, a deserted island doesn’t seem so terrifying. Survival is survival—whether you’re facing nature or something much worse.

John Monyjok Maluth Website

John Monyjok Maluth

Interview With Author John Monyjok Maluth

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am John from South Sudan. I began my writing journey in 2002 in my village at the age of 19. Due to the lack of support from the first publishers I encountered, I took the initiative to self-publish my books starting that same year. As of 2024, I have self-published 100 books, with each title available in three formats on Amazon: Kindle, Hardcover, and Paperback.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My 100th book is titled, African Theology, a creative nonfiction narrative that uses fictional characters, Panyim and Nyakor, to explore African perspectives on God, salvation, and other spiritual concepts. This work draws inspiration from the historical understanding that Africans had their unique conceptions of God well before the advent of organized religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism on the continent.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to write whenever inspiration strikes, without adhering to a schedule or setting milestones. It may seem unconventional, but it’s my preferred method. I write when the mood takes me. Additionally, I have a routine of crafting short stories or articles every morning before I brush my teeth and wash my face. It’s something I truly enjoy!

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Wayne Grudem, known for his work ‘Systematic Theology,’ has been influential in my writing. Leila Abouleila, hailing from Sudan, has also shaped my fictional and creative writing through her novel ‘The Kindness of Enemies.’ My reading list includes authors like Neil T. Anderson, Praise George, and Napoleon Hill, among many others. Additionally, the Bible and its authors hold a special place in my heart as the most impactful book in my life.

What are you working on now?
Currently, I am focusing on how to attract more readers and earn a living from my greatest passion: writing. I am not authoring new books at the moment; a hundred books suffice for now. However, I need to find a market for each book in my ten published series. Additionally, I am enhancing my writing skills and speed by utilizing AI tools.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I’m not certain, but I frequently use Facebook despite not generating any sales through it. That’s how I discovered Awesome Gang, thanks to my instructor, Dave Chesson. I’ve been learning from his educational content for years. Currently, I’m experimenting with Amazon ads, which are yielding many impressions but few clicks and no sales. Perhaps I need to delve deeper into learning.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Indeed, I possess extensive advice for novice independent authors, drawing from my own experiences. New authors often commit numerous errors that should be avoided. A common mistake is hastening to publish a manuscript without ensuring it is ready for publication. This often means insufficient self-editing. Other frequent errors include inadequate cover design, blurb writing, and interior formatting. I, too, made many such mistakes when I began self-publishing my books online in 2012.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The most impactful writing advice I’ve encountered is simply, “Sit down and write.” It’s advice that truly resonates with me. I remember, back in the 1990s, acquiring an exercise book emblazoned with the phrase, “Put it down on paper,” which served as my inspiration. I believe it was a Kasuku product. Indeed, there is no superior method to learn writing than to sit down and do it.

What are you reading now?
I am not currently reading any books. However, I am enrolled in Amazon ads courses on their website and also taking a course on the same subject by Dave Chesson. As mentioned, I am confident that my motivational self-help series, which is based on my personal experiences in a war-torn country like Sudan, is unique. Therefore, I aim to connect with a broader audience, particularly young individuals globally who may be facing an identity crisis at the moment.

What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, my next goal is to increase book sales and assist others in finding peace and resilience. It’s a challenging mission, yet I am convinced that my purpose is to inspire. Additionally, I aim to generate sufficient income to enhance my books. My aspiration is to travel globally, conducting workshops on personal and professional growth. This is where my passion lies.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Being stranded on a desert island, I would want to have my Bible, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy, and “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl with me.

About Everything

Alden loved me in high school, and we’ve had a hot and cold history ever since. I know we can have a second chance at love; I don’t care if he’s a single dad and we’re middle-aged. We were everything.

As soon as I saw Alden in 9th grade, I was a goner. It was 1990, and he was the hot soccer player everyone wanted, and he picked me: plain Fern Green with mousy brown hair. All I wanted was to make Alden happy. He was, and still is, everything.

I know he still feels it too. It’s obvious in the way he kisses me whenever we see each other, how he always checks in on me to see how I’m doing, how he tells me he wishes he could be a better man for me.

We’re grown up now, and we’ve tried going our separate ways, but we always find each other again. No one knows me like Alden does, and he tells me there has never been another woman like me.

So why aren’t we together? We’ve wasted enough time trying to forget each other, and I’m ready to walk away, I’m not the same needy girl I was in high school. But something is telling me to give it one last try. If Alden doesn’t see what I see between us, doesn’t want what I want, he’ll never hear from me again because I can’t do this anymore.

But I’m going to give it everything I have to convince him that our second chance can end happily ever after.

About Legacy of Light: The Journey of Superfaith

In the heart of Divine Light City, where shadows loom and hope seems lost, one man’s divine encounter transforms him into the city’s greatest protector—Superfaith. “Legacy of Light: The Journey of Superfaith” follows Moses, a humble college student chosen by the Angel of the Lord to bear extraordinary powers. Armed with unwavering faith and supernatural abilities, he faces the daunting task of safeguarding his city from escalating threats.

As Superfaith, Moses navigates the perilous balance between his everyday life and his heroic identity.

The Tongue Trade by Michael J. Martineck

About The Tongue Trade by Michael J. Martineck

When words are the ultimate currency, silence can be lethal.

In the not-too-distant future, humanity’s ability to communicate has fractured, creating a labyrinth of professional jargons so dense that only specialists like William Kirst, Private Interpreter, can unravel them.

Kirst is a linchpin in a society where understanding is a luxury, and secrets are the norm. His routine existence is shattered when he becomes entangled in a murder investigation, a crime spoken in a language of bullets and blood.

As an interpreter sworn to confidentiality Kirst is bound by an oath that puts his life in jeopardy and his morals in shackles. The more he uncovers, the deeper he’s edged into a conspiracy where language, as a weapon and a prison, pushes him closer to a dark truth.

The Tongue Trade is a riveting exploration of language, loyalty, and the lethal power of secrets. It questions the boundaries of ethical duty and the price of silence in a fragmented world.

Where words are the ultimate currency, silence can be lethal.

My Haven, My Midnight by Isobelle Cate

My Haven, My Midnight by Isobelle Cate

An enchanting damsel in distress…and the sexy immortal that longs to claim her.

For Amaryllis Hart, it’s just one thing after the other. After escaping an abusive uncle, she finds herself working for Jack Crawley, a sinister human who betrays her and sells her without hesitation to the evil shape-shifting Scatha Cruors—a fine way to repay her for being his most trusted lieutenant (and source of mind-blowing sex) all these years. All of a sudden, she’s tossed into a world she can’t believe exists: the Scatha battling the heroic vampire/werewolf hybrids known as the Cynn Cruors … and thrown into the arms of one such immortal who steals her heart.

Colin Butler and Craig Shaw, both Cynn Cruors, return to Leeds abruptly after a secret Colin has been keeping for centuries resurfaces to haunt him. Colin must come face to face with his past, and his future—Amaryllis, the violet-eyed beauty he longs to do more for than just rescue. She makes his blood curdle with desire…and she heals his soul.

Unbearable tensions mount as Colin and Amaryllis embark on a passionately hot love affair they can’t resist. But when Dac Valerian and Herod D’Argyl—two of the Scatha Cruors’ most dangerous leaders—turn up in Leeds, Colin has to make the hardest decision of his life: walk away from his past, or avenge the brutality bestowed on his family and lose the woman he loves—forever.
