DEAN'S BOOK...
The Hambledown Dream - by Dean Mayes - also published by ireadiwrite is an incredible paranormal love story wherein two souls, one lost in death and the other - half a world away - lost in the dismal life of a hopeless druggie in Chicago's seamy underbelly. They are brought together as one to pursue the love of their life and their shared love of classical guitar which becomes the focal point of this wonderful supernatural tale of love lost, and found...in the small town of Hambledown-under.
Dean and I have become great friends in a short time, as we compare notes from Across the Sea, he lives in Adelaide, Australia and I in Glendale, Arizona. His book is very, very good and deserves a look see...

How Lost Got Lost, the new book by John Rasor (that's me), takes a light-hearted but serious look back at the landmark TV show Lost . The End is considered by many to be one of the most disappointing series finales in the long history of television. I gotta say, it left me cold.
My book examines why the show's ending didn't measure up to the fans' expectations by not clearing up many of the mysteries, as well as falling flat story-wise in the final episode.
How Lost Got Lost also examines every aspect of the show's intricate storyline concerning the fantasy, sci-fi and spiritual aspects as it dissects the shows entire six year run. It also examines how the writers - who did so well for five years - took a wrong turn in the final season; it seemed awkward and rushed, and ended up with an irrelevant sideways flash/ purgatory story arc that imagined where we may go when we die - instead of sticking to the story and delivering a relevant ending to this epic TV show.
The book also provides an alternate ending from what the Lost writers gave us - which was there all the time. I just brought out for all to see how most of us thought the series should have ended.
The book has been officially published as of just past midnight on August 12, 2010. I hope it causes a stir in the Lost community, as Lost is not dead yet, and will remain in the public eye for some time to come. The factions both for and against the finale are split about 50-50, and probably won't change much. So, as my dedication to all Lost fans says - Be Thee Wi' Me, or Agin' Me...Forever Lost...

ireadiwrite publishing is a fairly new small press that is growing by leaps and bounds as new authors and great fiction are added regularly. The company founded by Michelle Halket began in mid 2009 as an eBook publisher but has several of their fine books in print these days. This is their first non-fiction book, as Michelle graciously agreed to it since I'm already one of her authors...and I talked her into it.
HOW LOST GOT LOST is now available from Lulu in print.
A Trade Paperback of HOW LOST GOT LOST can be purchased in time for Christmas at Lulu for $11.99. Just click on the Lulu Logo to get a copy.
My new friend Darth Sillynous has a new blog out called The Further Adventures of Hurley and Ben. This is a great blog continuing the Lost Saga and it totally rocks. Just click on Darth's picture below to see what it's all about. I highly recommend it...
Roadkill, my other book - fiction this time - is about a serial killer with a severe case of road rage running loose through the streets of LA, wreaking havoc on the highways and byways of Southern California - by running down people who flaunt the law by using cell phones while driving. This rampage stems from the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child, in a similar but unrelated incident. Just click on the pics to read sample chapters.
