RELEASE DAY REVIEW by Beth: The Other Eight by Joseph Lallo (@jrlallo , @bunnybetha)
Superpowers have turned out to be a disappointment. Heat vision? Super strength? Flight? They are nowhere to be found. Instead, powers like photosynthesis or the ability to spontaneously change hair color seem to be the best the world can offer. To make matters worse, the gifted individuals tend to suffer from psychological issues. Nonetheless, in …

Reduced to making freelance deliveries, he thinks his life can’t get any worse. That’s when a package manages to get him mixed up with mobsters, a megacorp, and …

COVER REVEAL: A New Release, a Cover Makeover and Some Flattering News From The Joseph Lallo Camp (@jrlallo)
A few days ago, I received and e-mail from Joseph Lallo that made me grin from ear to ear. He’s in the process of having The Book of Deacon printed as a paperback and needed my permission to include a quote from my review. I was flattered and speechless! When I started Pure Textuality, I never in …
COVER REVEAL: Joseph Lallo's 'Jade' Got A New Cover And A New Price! (@jrlallo)
Joseph Lallo, my very first interview victim here on Pure Textuality, e-mailed me the other day to give me the heads up that Jade’s makeover is complete! He wrote a guest post for me a while back called Icing On The Cake: The Value of Good Artwork, regarding the imprtance of a good cover for …
GUEST POST: Icing on the Cake: The Value of Good Artwork by Guest Author Joseph Lallo (@jrlallo)
An awful lot goes into making a good book. You need strong, well-developed characters that people care about, a deep and fascinating story to draw the reader in, and a solid and consistent setting to tie it all together. You need to read and reread your work, ironing out continuity errors and correcting typos. A …

INTERVIEW: Joseph Lallo, Author of The Book of Deacon (@jrlallo)
Following the review of The Book of Deacon (if you didn’t read the review, do so! Phenomenal book!!), I asked the author Joseph Lallo if he’d like to do an interview with me for PureTextuality. He graciously agreed and allowed me to pick his brain for a bit. Here’s what he had to say… …
REVIEW: The Book of Deacon by Joseph Lallo (@jrlallo)
Myranda is a young woman more interested in staying alive than being a hero. Orphaned by a continent-spanning war that has gone on for decades too long and shunned for failing to support it, she has been on the move since she was only a child. One can hardly blame her when she thinks that …
