Damnation Author interview.

Hi All, I’ve gotten quite a few emails about Damnation… Given that I’m trying to balance my time between my reader base, AND getting Soul Siphon out there to all of you, the emails are too much for me to be able to answer individually. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting them and I read every last one personally. It’s just difficult finding time … Read More Damnation Author interview.

Are Narrative Stories Out of Date

So a few days ago I was reading a the original ‘Little Mermaid’ by Hans Christian Anderson. I was curious about the story after my boys took a liking to the Disney version. I won’t spoil anything for anyone, but I highly recommend reading the original. It is superior in every way to the lax character development of the Disney version. Anyway, more on … Read More Are Narrative Stories Out of Date

Blogs of Importance

Hello Mr. Harrington, I saw on one of your posts that you take questions. So here it is, how important is it to publishers that you have a blog with a lot of followers and how many followers do they want to see. Right now, I don’t see myself devoting time to acquiring followers. It seems very time consuming and I’d rather use that … Read More Blogs of Importance

Embracing the Dark Side…

“Dear Jim, I’ve been writing a novel for some time now, but it’s been a struggle. I’ve come on hard times recently with a friend. I’ve felt betrayed and hurt.

Cinderella 2015

So… my wife rented this last night and then fell asleep. So I continued watching it alone. I don’t usually do movie reviews, but since this is a fairly recent fantasy film that has gotten a lot of praise… and I mean a LOT, I thought I’d give my take on it. I tend to shy away from remakes, which let’s face it, that’s what … Read More Cinderella 2015

Bringing History to Life

Hi Jim, Congrats on the new Novel! So I was wondering about historical characters. You mentioned that much of your work is historical fiction and I’m currently working on a story like that myself. I was wondering what difficulties you faced, if any, when you used a historical figure as a character in your writing? Many thanks, Liam. Hi Liam, Great question, and honestly … Read More Bringing History to Life
