Fan review of the book Valkyrie



What a warm and nice review on my book by a fan.  It is most humbling.


"Pssst... Just finished fellow group member Mike Sims "Valkyrie" and it was a good page turner from start to finish. I love reading books to get caught up in the character's lives. Valkyrie does not disappoint. The characters are colorful, believable and most of all, human. You'll love; Dan a weasel of a marketing genius who will try any and every trick in the book, to get anything he wants, The Wright family who take money, politics and immorality to a whole other level, Vickie is the one constant and is she is a force to be reckoned with. The story and plot took me on a roller coaster ride I have yet to recover from. Lol! Mr. Sims I am your newest fan. I'm sure others (both men and women) will enjoy this book as much as I have. Thank you for the ride." -Tracy

The Lazarus Game screenplay being pitched by producer Barney Cohen based on this book.

I am so proud that my new venture producing book trailers for authors is taking shape.  I am providing simple to complex book trailers to help market books on www.bookteaser.net.  As an option to these trailers, I have gained some voice talent, that for a very reasonable fee will provide their amazing voice to narrate what the author wishes to say during the trailer.  Some of these guys are movie/TV actors and also some are Grammy award-winning singers.  Some can provide bilingual English/Spanish as well.  Some have done many audiobooks and even for me.  Thank you guys for lending your talent to authors.

The Lazarus Game TV Pitch


The Lazarus Game is a pitch screenplay written/produced by Barney Cohen.  Barney is known for the movie Guernica and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, TV shows Forever Knight, The Wonderful World of Disney, Forever Knight and a slew of others.  He is now working on The Lazarus Game which is taken from the Vickie series book Valkyrie.  Valkyrie is the second book in a series based on the main character Vickie.  She is a rape victim from her teens who is a powerful woman that seeks her brand of justice on things that are wrong or at least get in her way.  She is not politically correct and does not fear consequences.  She will bring people and things down she feels deserve it but also manages to redeem people.  An advertising executive by trade yet spends an enormous amount of time taking care of issues in life.  She has a destiny, one that will change the world.  The Lazarus Game is a corporate game that executives play on poor interns.  These interns are brought in to expose them to the corporate world and give them experience.  However, the game is a cruel game as they are played with by some executives and betted on.  The game itself is considered just a nuisance at first for Vickie till she sees the real damage it causes.  What she does not realize is her interference in this game brings the attention of a powerful wealthy woman named Violet.  We see her briefly in the book Valkyrie but the next book Violet is coming soon.  The screenplay being pitched focuses on The Lazarus Game which is a timely story and has significant value as a social message as well as entertainment. 

The goal is to make this one story into a TV movie which should lead to a TV series.  There is a good amount of momentum and interest building.  Known actresses are reading the books themselves to consider playing it.  I am personally excited about the prospect that my work would make it to the screen.  It is just a matter of the right person to step forward and coming on board with it.  There is already some heavy hitters on the Vickie team.  Just need to see it through and make it happen.
