A Game of Gods Book Review - by Bob Sharp


A Game of Gods by Sean Michael Paquet

First a confession, this is not my normal genre, fantasy lands filled with strange creatures doesn’t usually buzz my buttons. But this one did, and how. The story grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go until you are thrown out at the end, wanting more. And as for concepts, this book is crammed full of them, and they all work. I think this is why I enjoyed it more than other book I have read of similar genres.
Sean Michael Paquet paints pictures with words and the world he describes is a fascinating multi-layered construct that is extremely believable. The characters are strong and well formed, and as for the creatures called the Grognaw, it is a truly horrific creation(Or so you are led to believe).
In a nutshell this is a well thought out and written book full of mysterious creatures, some good, some bad and some somewhere in-between.
Well done Sean, a great read all round. More please? Five stars….. Links are below.

What makes you Valuable?   OK, this post will be a little more about the self than it does about business, but the concepts still apply.  What makes you valuable? What do you value about yourself?

What is your value to yourself, to other people, to the community? We all want to feel valuable. We want to know that we matter. Not just to ourselves, but also that our presence is valued. We want to know that somehow we contribute to the communal consciousness. What makes you valuable are your strengths. Those qualities about you that make you stand out from the slowly moving herd of humanity around you. Your strengths are what make you unique. That is your value. Firstly, YOU must see YOU as valuable to YOURSELF. This requires a great deal of self-reflection. You have to take a hard, hones

World Building in Science Fiction and Fantasy - By Sean Michael Paquet

  Hello Everyone! So today, I wanted to give you some of my insight into world-building. Now for some writers, it takes a great deal of time to realize the world in which they want their characters to adventure. For me, this world was part of my imagination form the age of five. For me, it became a fully realized and detailed world where I could escape from reality. That's how I look at it. However, when you decide to utilize that world as the stage for a story that other people will read, realization takes on a whole new meaning. The three fundamental rules that I follow are: 1.        Believability 2.        Consistency 3.        Immersion For my first novel, A Game of Gods, I set the stage very quickly using concepts, imagery, and symbolism that people could readily identify with. In essence, I created a world that already had a lot of real backstories that anyone could research on their own. This was important. I believe that people should be able to ide
