It's Nuttin Cuttin' Time with Patrick Dorinson

ABOUT PATRICK DORINSON
Patrick Dorinson is a veteran of the political wars, radio talk show host and commentator who unlike many so-called pundits, has actually been in the arena and has the battle scars to prove it. He has been on both sides of the aisle and in the aisle itself, having worked over the last 25 year for Republicans and Democrats in both politics and government. He now is a proud independent and paraphrasing the words of Marx-Groucho not Karl-says he will not join any political party that would have someone like him as a member.
Patrick's unique political journey has been a search for real leaders, regardless of party, to move America forward but says in frustration, "I have chased more false prophets than the ancient Hebrews in the Old Testament". He is still searching and doesn't expect the 2012 election will end his search no matter who wins.
After all these years, he has returned to where he began his political odyssey at age 12 as a Goldwater Conservative. Like Goldwater, Patrick believes in limited government in all things and the basic right of all Americans to live their lives as they see fit as long as they abide by the laws of the land. Or put another way, government should keep their hands off the public's wallet and their nose out of folk's private lives.
Patrick Dorinson is a modern day Will Rogers with sharp elbows who's had an insider's view of the political system and tells it like it is.
Patrick's cowboy wisdom will make you laugh, make you cry, and most of all, it will make you think. If you've had enough of the bloviating blowhards who won't admit how America got into this mess, or explain how we'll get out of it, this return to simple common sense is needed now more than ever.
Patrick Dorinson is a columnist for the FOX News.com Opinion on the FOX News website and regular contributor to "The Arena" on POLITICO the #1 political website in the nation. He is the resident political analyst for Morning News on Newstalk 1530 KFBK radio in Sacramento, California. He also appears regularly as a commentator on local television.
Mr. Dorinson has appeared on Sean Hannity's Great American Panel on the FOX News Channel and on Cavuto on the FOX Business Channel as well as on FOX News.com webcasts. He is host of weekly radio talk show, The Cowboy Libertarian with Patrick Dorinson. It airs Saturdays from 5 to 6PM Pacific on Newstalk 1530 KFBK.
Dorinson lives on a 15 acre ranch in Nevada City, California with his wife Carol, is an avid student of the West and a pretty fair horseman. And he knows that when learning how to ride, the ground is the best teacher, having the broken bones to prove it. He enjoys working and riding alongside his friends in the ranching and cattle business whenever he gets the opportunity. And if he had his druthers and could find an outfit to hire him he would make his living on the back of a horse.

It's Nut Cuttin' Time is an insightful look at the last four years in America and sets the stage for the pivotal 2012 election and what is to come afterwards. It takes aim at the preening politicians of both parties and also takes a swing at our self-indulgent celebrity-obsessed pop culture.

Double Book Spotlight: James Patterson

About The Book

Detective Alex Cross arrests renowned plastic surgeon Elijah Creem for sleeping with teenage girls. Now, his life ruined, Creem is out of jail, and he's made sure that no one will recognize him—by giving himself a new face.

A young woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window, and Alex is called to the scene. The victim recently gave birth, but the baby is nowhere to be found. Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he's called to investigate a second crime. All of Washington, D.C., is in a panic, and when a third body is discovered, rumours of three serial killers send the city into an all-out frenzy.

Alex's investigations are going nowhere, and he's too focused on the cases to notice that someone has been watching him—and will stop at nothing until he's dead. With white-hot speed, relentless drama, and hairpin turns, ALEX CROSS, RUN is James Patterson's ultimate thrill ride.


About The Book

Private, the world's most respected investigation firm, has branches around the world, each staffed with the smartest, fastest, and most advanced agents, who have cutting-edge forensic tools that not even the most powerful governments possess.

At Private Berlin, agent Chris Schneider has disappeared. Chris had taken a secretive personal leave and hadn't spoken to anyone from the office in days. The Private team retraces his footsteps to the cases he was investigating before his disappearance: a billionaire suspected of cheating on his wife, a world-famous soccer player accused of throwing games, and the owner of a seedy nightclub. They were the last people to see Chris—and they're all suspects. And someone is lying.

The Private team is led to an abandoned Nazi slaughterhouse where all hope vanishes. As Private digs further into Chris's past, a terrifying history is revealed, and they begin to suspect that someone very dangerous and very depraved is responsible for Chris's disappearance. And he's not finished in Berlin. PRIVATE BERLIN has more twists, action, and deception than any other James Patterson thriller ever.

The two decide to take a cruise to make up for lost time. Hadassah shares the horrific details of her life. The friends continue to catch up on old times, new events in their lives and how they were not going to let past issues take over their lives. Both ladies did not know what to expect but after spending time together realized their friendship was still present.

A person’s pain can be turned into a positive to help others going through the same situation. This was a touching story and I applaud the author for sharing such intimate and emotional details.  I recommend Reasons For Hatred to others.

Q & A with Wanda B. Campbell

A&RBC: As an author, have you accomplished everything you set out to accomplish?
Wanda: In seven years I’ve accomplished more than I ever thought possible. When I began writing, I didn’t have an agenda or goals. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now, I can’t imagine not writing.
A&RBC: What do you love about being a writer? What do you dislike about being a writer?
Wanda: I love creating characters that are relatable. I love writing stories that not only engages the reader, but also makes them evaluate their own life. My desire is to enhance the reader’s life and not simply entertain them.
Not having more time to write is what I dislike about being a writer.
A&RBC: If you could switch lives with a fellow author, who would it be? Why?
Wanda: Not Applicable

A&RBC: If you could make a movie out of one of your books, which one would it be?
Wanda: I think all of my novels would be great on the big screen, but if I must choose one it would be Right Package, Wrong Baggage. The book uncovers issues that are destroying relationships and families. The story challenges us to stop pointing fingers and due a self-evaluation.
A&RBC: Which marketing/promotions or publicity strategy has worked best in your favor?
Wanda: Next to “word of mouth”, Social Media has proven the most effective marketing tool for me. There I connect with readers and readers can connect with me on a personal level. I love talking to readers. I personally answer every e-mail and message. For me it’s important to be approachable to my audience and not just communicate with them when I have a new book for them to purchase. Through Social Media I have met some wonderful people from all over the county and have established a great readership.

A&RBC: Which do you like better traditional or self-publishing? Why?
Wanda: I love the freedom of self-publishing and the ability to manage projects. However, for my novels, I prefer traditional publishing. Traditional publishing frees me to concentrate on writing and mentoring. Also, I have found distribution more effective with traditional publishing.
A&RBC: What new projects are you working on?
Wanda: My eighth novel, Doin’ Me will release May 2013. Currently, I’m working on something for 2014.

Book Review: Dream Girl Awakened

Purchase at Amazon.com
Dream Girl Awakened
Stacy Campbell
Publication Date: February 19, 2013
5 Stars=None Stop Page Turner
Aruba Dixon, Victoria Faulk and Tawatha Gipson are three women in three different relationships whose worlds collide in Dream Girl Awakened by Stacy Campbell. Aruba Dixon is fed up with her unemployed husband James. She is ready to trade him in and Aruba has just the right candidate.
 Tawatha Gipson is ready to settle down and find a father for her four children. Tawatha has not had much luck until she meets James Dixon. James is everything she is looking for in a man and potential husband. Tawatha does not even feel bad that he is married. In her mind once James divorces his wife, he will be all hers.
Victoria Faulk is a shop-a-holic who loves the good life but does not want to put work in to keep it. Victoria has a bad attitude and has no desire to keep her husband happy. It is said that what you won’t do another one will. Will Victoria’s nonchalant ways catch up to her?
Dream Girl Awakened is a great example of the grass not being greener on the other side. It is also about being careful of whom you call friend. This book was a wonderful debut novel full of drama, mischief and backstabbing. It was entertaining, had some suspense and a little mystery to round it off. The characters were well-written and I could relate to them all, especially Aruba even though I would not stoop to her level. The twists and turns were just right and had me continuing to turn the pages. Great job, Stacy Campbell! I cannot wait to read her next book.

Author of the Week: Ebony Iman

About The Author

Little old Ebony didn't know she had a flare for writing. She dabbled with poetry in high school, and even won a few school contests, but had no idea of what she was capable. After joining the military at age 17 she picked a career in Public Affairs because she was intrigued with the press conferences she would be organizing and working with distinguished visitors. She had no idea that the bulk of her duties would be writing for the base paper.
After throwing a few fits at her initial failures in technical school, she got to her first duty station and received rave reviews on her literary skills.
When she left the military, she was smitten by a certain someone and picked up poetry again. And the object of her affection forcefully encouraged her to try erotic short stories. They let a few close friends read them as she wrote them, and they all clamored for more.
Seven short erotic stories later, she completed Desideras: 7 Sexclusives and is very eager for the world to enjoy her imagination.

Purchase at Amazon.com

About The Book
These sexy tales follow several characters on journeys to fulfill their desires for sadism, role play, fetishes, and revenge. Conventional twists with unpredictable turns combine with exciting characters and explosive desires that pop off the page to make visual orgasms that you can feel. Bella Siren gives and learns lessons in common and lesser-known fetishes as she regains her memory and learns the truth about her life and near death experiences. Another tale follows the bisexual party girl, Cookie, as she tries unsuccessfully to release the beckoning of public sex only to find that she is dragged into an emotional triangle. Cookie and Bella are only two of the characters who search for satisfaction and sexual freedom while wading through the turmoil of mental disorders, voyeurism and more, making this page-turner a desirable escape from the restraints that many of us tolerate in pursuit of acceptable gratification. The rich background of the characters in these short stories and explorative descriptions of their feelings, situations and love affairs will pull you in deep to replace the character with which you most closely identify. There is no lack of action or passion in any of these stories. And once you read one, you will have to read them all.

Miss Scandalous Virtual Book Tour with Nicole Dunlap

Q & A with Nicole Dunlap


A&RBC: How did you become a writer? 
Nicole: I can remember being in my mom’s busted-up car when I was about five years old. We didn’t have a radio. I started out singing--unfortunately, I was no Alicia Keys. So I dabbled in story telling while my mom drove from Long Beach to do the “kiddy exchange” with my father who lived in San Bernardino. Over the years, I’ve always had a few stories swimming around in my head at one time or another. After I got a Masters in Educational Counseling and couldn’t find a job--eeek! I decided to try my hand at self publishing.

A&RBC: What are you hoping readers take from your book? 
Nicole:
Other people’s choices can either make you or break you. None of my characters are perfect, each of them have flaws, and some, so much more than others. With Miss Scandalous, my main character’s mother and daughter are going through different phases of life. Charlene has it perfect; she’s the star of a soap opera and the man of her dreams. Now, all she wants is for her adult daughter, Raven, to fit into this new life she’s made for herself. And, she deserves it right, because she’s been through so many things to get there. That’s what goes through her one-sided mind. While she’s busy trying to persuade Raven to love her, she doesn’t know that Raven has a vendetta against everyone she’s been hurt by.

A&RBC: If you were to write a book about a controversial topic, what would it be? 
Nicole:
I try to bring controversy into every book I consider writing. It adds tension to the story and can often shed light onto topics that have been neglected. Such as with Miss Nobody, Raven goes through periods of depression from being neglected by her mother, Charlene. Since she’s a teenager in this book, it really compounds on the issue of teen depression. As a school counselor, my eyes have been opened to this problem. Before, it wasn’t real to me; I didn’t have to think about it. But know, as I work with foster students and students whom have shock-stories, for example coming home from school and everything is gonethat their parents have left without a word, well, that just makes the issue 3D. So, this issue of depression has dug its talons into the heart of the Shaw Family Saga and hopefully, it becomes real to the readers too.

A&RBC: Are you an avid or occasional reader? If so, what is your favorite genre of books? 
Nicole:
I’m an avid reader. My favorite is drama, but just about every genre can hook me, it all depends on my mood or the season. I find myself gravitating toward a good love story in the summer months and a suspense or mystery in the wintertime. If my husband is sitting next to me watching football or some other sport, I don’t mind reading about vampires and werewolves.

A&RBC: If you could interview one of your favorite authors, who would it be? Why? 
Nicole:
Terry McMillan. She’s been in the game for a while and as a teen, when I branched out from readingother than what I was forced to in school, McMillan’s novels were my go-to. Her stories evoke emotion. In each book there's a character that I can relate to, and then the plot snags you in too.

A&RBC: If you could make a movie out of one of your books, which one would it be? 
Nicole:
I’d make a movie out of every book that I’ve thought ofI have a Tyler Perry mindset. Some of my dreams have turned into movies, I can think of one starring Loretta Devine that I dreamt of, long before it launched. To bad I can’t type faster. Anyhow, I’d love to make Miss Nobody a movie. Charlene and Raven have so much emotion that would most certainly have a theater full of laughing, crying slightly-hysterical-with-emotions type of crowd.

A&RBC: Which marketing/promotions or publicity strategy has worked best in your favor? 
Nicole:
Free. I’ve learned that peopleincluding melove discounts and freebies. I’ve given Miss Nobody away many times and it has shown a peak in sales, the catch is that I have to keep the momentum going. If the Amazon ranking system loves an author, bookies will know. So that has been my number one strategy. Not to mention, I have a lot of fans contacting me about future installments. I’ve also been marketing on Goodreads. I’ve made a lot of friendsand welcome more. I’m astonished by all the readers, it’s my kinda world. Through Goodreads I can interact with friends, get their ideas on book covers and blurps. It’s a way to promote future stories without being a salesman, which makes me shutter. I can’t sale a book to save my life, but I can interest you in the back-story and the idea that goes into my family saga in a fun way, through staying active and doing events.

A&RBC: Which do you like better traditional or self-publishing? Why? 
Nicole:
There are certain aspects of each that I respect and certain aspects that could be changed, but that’s the way the world goes. Traditionally published books give the author a certain level of status that self-publishing hasn’t been linked with, though self-publishing isn’t as taboo as it has once been. One thing that I enjoy most about self-publishing is freedom. My creativity blossoms to the fullest, I know what I want to write and no editor is going to in return slash red marks through pages that doesn’t work for them. As I endeavor to write what works for me, a message of sorts. And, I can keep in mind what my audience is interested in. I’ve read over reviews of Miss Nobody and have tried to lace certain ideas that were given based on fan reviews. So, I write what works for me, and hopefully, others will like it too.

A&RBC: What new projects are you working on? 
Nicole:
I’ve wrapped up the second installment of the Shaw family saga. Miss Scandalous will be available in March and I’ve had so much fun writing that story. Right now, I’m toggling back and forth between Miss Perfect, the third part of the series and a very interesting psychological suspense. Because I’ve self-dubbed myself the “gumbo genre novelist”, I’ve decided that Miss Perfect is going to be seasoned with mystery, love triangles and suspense. So, changing up my plot in each bookwithout losing my writing stylehas been a welcoming challenge from Miss Nobody that was more drama, young adult, and women’s fiction. I’m hoping fans will come to enjoy how my books don’t follow a certain formula, and I’ve gone the extra mile to pull at every type of emotion a reader can fathom.

A&RBC: Where can readers find you?
Nicole:
 


About The Book


Charlene Shaw has gone through hell. She was raped and left for dead, yet she continued on her quest for fame. She’s a beautiful, desired actress who has found her Mr. Wright. According to the magazine headlines, her life is perfect. There’s just one thing her heart cries for…her daughter, Raven. This might be her hardest challenge yet–building the mother-daughter bond she’s prayed so hard for.

Raven Shaw has been abandoned by love. Her mom preferred Hollywood and her childhood best-friend, now ex-lover, disappeared when she became pregnant. Now, she’s adjusted to a “new” kind of love…motherhood. She’s determined that her daughter will have everything she didn’t. The only thing she wants for herself is revenge, even if it means disconnecting from a small piece of her heart that still cares. Raven’s acts of rage slither into her mindset, overpowering her in the form of nightmares and delusions of skeletons long dead.

After Raven’s scandalous ways, can Charlene mend Raven’s heart or will she be pulled down into the abyss? And then, there’s always the option, Charlene can get a little scandalous too…
