VLADMIR PUTIN TO AMERICANS: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR SENSES???

Well I saw this article on Newsweek.com and thought it was interesting. In case you didn't get a chance to read it here's a portion of the article.

When asked whether he had any damaging information on the Republican president, Putin told NBC News' Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly, "Well, this is just another load of nonsense." 

"Do you think we're gathering compromising information on all of them right now or something?" Putin asked, before saying: "Have you all lost your senses?"

Trump has called an FBI investigation into alleged ties between his campaign and Russia a "witch hunt" designed to undermine the legitimacy of his 2016 election win.

"They have been misled," Putin told NBC, in an interview NBC said was recorded on Friday. "And they aren't analyzing the information in its entirety. I haven't seen, even once, any direct proof of Russian interference in the (U.S.) presidential election."

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has declined to testify to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee about his Russian ties, invoking his constitutional right to avoid self-incrimination.

Putin downplayed Flynn's appearance with him at a December 2015 gala dinner in honor of the Russian television network Russia Today (RT), which U.S. officials consider a state-run propaganda outlet.

"I made my speech. Then we talked about some other stuff. And I got up and left. And then afterwards I was told, 'You know there was an American gentleman, he was involved in some things. He used to be in the security services'," Putin said.

"That's it. I didn't even really talk to him. That's the extent of my acquaintance with Mr Flynn," he added.

"You created a sensation out of nothing. And out of this sensation, you turned it into a weapon of war against the current (U.S.) president," Putin said.

FROM CITY LAWYER TO BESTSELLING SELF-PUBLISHED DEBUT AUTHOR

For real? You might have wondered as soon as you read the title. Believe me, I was intrigued as well. I wondered: How on earth did she manage to do that? And how much did she make from her debut novel for her to decide to make an absolute U-turn from her legal career to being a full-time writer.

I did some digging and what I found was both interesting and inspiring. 

Her name is Louise Ross but she writes under the pseudonym L.J Ross, and here is what I gathered so far.

While she was on Maternity leave in expectation of her son Ethan, Louise and her husband were on a train headed for Edinburgh from Newcastle in England. And as they were passing an area known as The Holy Island of Lindisfarne which is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England commonly known as Holy Island, she had an epiphany. This is what she says, “I was looking out of the train window towards Lindisfarne and happened to remark to my husband that I was surprised no one had written a book set on Holy Island. I had a notebook with me and started to scribble down ideas for a plot."

Not much is revealed about how the conversation went, but guessing from what did happen thereafter, we can assume her husband - a Barrister, egged her on to pen down her story. And after three months or so …voila! she was done - she had completed her first romantic crime novel aptly titled - HOLY ISLAND.

She gives a lot of credit to her husband for the marketing and promotion he did that led to Holy Island's debut success. According to her, he did a lot of blogging, posting on reader forums as well as social media to gunner enough buzz for Holy Island. And the efforts paid off as she reported selling over 100,000 copies towards the end of 2015, propelling her debut novel to the number 1 spot on UK’s Amazon bestseller list and earning a whooping £70,000 and well as!

How about that?

Nikos Kazantzakis, the famous Greek writer (died in 1957) once said, "In order to succeed we must first believe we can."

How true. Without that self-belief it’s pointless to try and most definitely Louise Ross beliefed she could and she is on her third book.

Personally as a writer I am inspired and I hope her story inspires you in your endeavors as well.

Ionshaker Ultimate

After all is said and done Trey Woodley and Brett Dawson manage to recover the Ionshaker device from the roothless Al Fakir terror group. A lot of lives have been lost though and but it looks like the dark past of an imminent nuclear-powered third world war has passsed. At least Trey, Brett and their associates can go back to their normal boring lives.
But is it?
On their way to the beach to have a good time, Trey receives a call from the president.
"Trey," The president says.
"YesMr. President." Trey answers with a broad as Robin playfully pokes the side of his rib.
"I have received reliable intel that the Russians have made a replica of our Ionshaker nuclear device but we won't give them the chance to use it."
Trey keeps quiet as the president pauses briefly, he know what's coming. The president continues, "I need you to turn the car around. You and Brett are going to Russia to steal the Ionshaker Replica device," the president pauses again as Robin stares at her boyfriend with a frown. She can sense something is wrong. The president continues, " The mission is called Ionshaker Ultimate and I won't lie to you -  it is the ultimate suicide mission but you and Brett are the only ones I can send."

First Ionshaker review is out guys!!

"IONSHAKER by Timothy Felix is a tense thriller from the start. A married woman is shot in cold blood and the main suspect is her unsuspecting husband Trey. The investigation deepens as more names enter the equation.  FBI Agent Brett Dawson and deputy Nicole Anderson probe all leads. The first one being an accident involving the other woman in Trey's life which leads to more questions that need answers and a much deeper investigation than expected. Twists and turns only add to the already thickening plot.  I really enjoyed this read and have to say that it's a page turner throughout with characters that effortlessly pull you deeper into the web of IONSHAKER. If you love a fast paced thriller then this is one to buy. Hats of to Timothy Felix!   Can't give too much away to potential readers.....it wouldn't be fair." - Annie Frame author of IMPRINT
