Slap Happy Fun Time

    The  Andy Peloquin interview:       I was supposed to post this earlier this month and totally forgot. It's been a busy month, You can find links to his  J. Ellington Ashton Press release at the bottom. I also have a review here as well. I urge everyone to check it out.  . Q: Blades Of The Destroyer is your latest release from JEA. How did you come up with the Hunter? I've always loved "bad guys". Villains usually prove to be the more interesting characters in classic (often clichéd) fantasy novels, so the idea of telling the story from the perspective of the "bad guy" was totally intriguing.

Off and on, since the age of 15. I have been a professional copywriter for almost five years, but I only started writing fiction two years ...

Blade Of The Destroyer - Andy Peloquin 4/5      I received Blade Of The Destroyer in exchange for an honest review and I have to admit that I didn't realize that it was a fantasy novel. I'm more of a horror/bizarro guy so I was a bit worried. I can't even tell you the last time a read a fantasy novel. I do have an open mind though and have been known to genre hop from time to time. I'm the kind of reader that likes a good story regardless of what genre it's in. It's quite nice to sometimes step outside of your comfort zone and see what other books are out there. As I started this I was instantly hooked. Blade is an often violent novel about a guy called the Hunter. This is one bad ass dude but unlike a lot of other novels Andy gives this guy some depth and it's the Hunter himself that fuels this novel.      Blade is the start of a new series and what I like is that the story moves quickly and unlike a lot of other novels you aren't mired in...
