Biography

I have been writing poems and short stories my whole life but professionally since 2005. I have thus far written two romance novels, and one book of poems and short stories. I have most recently had my newest poem, My LifeSong published in an online magazine. I am currently working on a syfy/mystic novel and working on transferring some of my novels into screenplays. My mind is always buzzing with new stories and I enjoy writing as my muse speaks. I hope you will give me a chance to entertain you. Please let me know how you like my work. Thanks.

  • The Unsuspecting Mage: The Morcyth Saga Book One on March 30, 2011
    star star star star star
    I found this book to be both interesting and entertaining. I love this kind of mystic story and fell right into it, and enjoyed it very much. Mr. Pratt has a great talent at story telling and any minor errors are easily overlooked. I found myself being drawn into the story and anxiously awaiting to see what next terror or triumph was going to unfold for the main character James. I am looking forward to continuing in the series. I will continue to be a reader of Brian Pratt's adventures.

    I have read this book to help me meet the requirements for submission into smashword's premium catalog and it really was my salvation in meeting the requirements. Mark Coker is correct, if you will follow this guide word by word, line by line, you can pass the requirements for the catalog. I will use this guide over and over with each book that I attempt to submit, it is that important! Thanks Mark!
  • Boob Tube on May 01, 2011
    star star star star star
    The Boob Tube was a funny, entertaining, and very enjoyable read. It was quiet interesting to see how the 'stars' of the soap show were in reality just like common people in their real lives.They dealt with real emotions such as fear of being unloved or becoming unpopular with their fans, which in reality is sad. The authors did an excellent job in their presentation of perhaps real situations that go on behind the cameras.
  • The Princess & the Penis on May 01, 2011
    star star star star
    It was funny, kind of silly, but captivating! I found myself anxious to find out more about the penis.
  • Tenderfoot on May 19, 2011
    star star star star star
    TenderFoot is a paranormal story about a college Freshman who has very strange things going on in her life that she doesn't understand while meeting new friends, and is torn between two handsome men. Jules, Andrew, and Nick are complex characters but very lovable characters who are surrounded by very lovable friends,who perhaps will be life long friends. I found myself experiencing a love/hate feeling for Nick which made him all the more interesting and entertaining! TenderFoot will have you involved with the characters and their lives as the drama unfolds to reveal a delightful ending. The story will leave you wanting to see more from Jules, Andrew, and Nick, perhaps a book two sharing more adventures with them. I give this book a five star.
  • Message to my Children on June 25, 2011
    star star star star star
    This is an interesting novel even if you do not read the Bible. I found it to be thought provoking although I'm not a Bible Scholar. The possibilities that the story suggests that could occur during the end of the world are very capable of occurring in reality. I recommend this book to any Bible scholar who wants to examine their teachings or hear another person's point of view on the subject. I recommend this book to anyone who just wants to read an interesting book to engage your senses. I hope to see more from this author in the future.

    This short read is for anyone who wants to experience a sensual read that may be enjoyed alone, or with a lover. The reading experience indulges the senses in the most intimate of ways.
  • Pumpkin Jack Skull and Other Tales of Terror on July 01, 2011
    star star star star star
    This book is definitely not for the faint of heart,or the weak of nerves. It was a very scary read but enjoyable. This book was written in a way that it was as if I were experiencing the situation with the characters.Very well written by a talented author. Look for more good stuff from him.
  • Fires of Prophecy: The Morcyth Saga Book Two on July 14, 2011
    star star star star star
    This was another good book in Mr.Pratt's series. I enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed it's predecessor,perhaps even a bit better. I'm looking forward to finishing the remainder of the series.

    I enjoyed reading this book to my daughter as much as she enjoyed having me read it to her. We laughed,she gasped at some of the 'scary' parts. I recommend this book to any mommy out there who is looking for an entertaining and different kind of read for your child. This is definitely a fantastic read for children. Shaun Allan should definitely write more children's books.
  • The Perfect Solution-A Suspense of Choices on Aug. 27, 2011
    star star star star star
    This was an intense read. I found my heart beating from chapter one to the ending chapter. I recommend this book for parents to read. It was a quiet a startling book about how badly things can go wrong if you or the caregivers of children aren't alert about safety issues concerning children. I was appalled at the mistakes that were made by the school staff, and asked,"Could this really happen?" And the answer is yes. Ey Wade is a talented author and I definitely will be reading more of her work and expecting more good works from her.
  • Immortal Obsession on Feb. 16, 2012
    star star star star star
    I was captivated by Christian and Amanda's story from the beginning. I absolutely loved Christian, and look forward to reading more of his story.I don't like Christian's friend, Michel,but am interested in watching his story unfold, and who knows, I might change my suspicious mind of him, and like him after all in the series to come.This story had its scary moments, but so much more was involved than scary, there was the unique blend of romance and love, and what one does for love. I liked the storyline that the author created with this story, it showed the human side of the vampire, yet,stayed true with the old legends of the vampires, that I like so much. This was the best vampire novel I've read in a long time, and can't wait to read more of this series, and to see what happens to Amanda, Christian, and Michel. This was a very well written story with twists that surprised me, held my interest to the very end.

    This book was surprisingly very easy for me to follow and to understand, being that I'm not a computer geek to begin with. I found the topics interesting, and the tips given just as interesting as well. This book is full of useful information that I'm going to put to use for my own blogs needs. I plan to re-read this book more carefully as I start to utilize their tips that they've given in the book.
