Entertaining and Enjoyable Read for People of all Ages! (On A L.A.R.P. by Stefani Deoul)
Entertaining and Enjoyable Read for People of all Ages, March 31, 2017
Not typically one for a YA story, (well not anymore), I am so glad I decided to take a look at this one. Stefani Deoul really put all her knowledge and experience as a story-teller on both the page and the small screen to work to deliver a dynamic and immersive as well as original tale. As she describes, On a LARP introduces us to a young teen coder (That’s compu-speak for all of us middle aged folks). Sid Rubin is a typical teen smartass, well typical if your teen is a super-smart high school kid with a strong conscience and a knack for solving problems. (Happily mine were).
The secret to a great YA story to me is in the point of view. It is important to feel yourself, no matter how old you are in the shoes of the protagonist, and from word one, Deoul puts her readers there fro page one.
“Do any of you know the truly scary part about being seventeen?” Answer: “Your brain doesn't actually know, understand or care what it can't do; and, while this sounds great in theory, in my particular case, my under-developed brain apparently didn't know I couldn't fly. So I jumped . . . And I plummeted . . .”
When young Sid sees the photo of a murder victim during a field trip to the police station, her keen eye soon finds her and her friends chasing a “dark web” (another techno-term I’ve always loved) killer through the middle of a live action role playing game, and hey, who doesn’t want to LARP through a murder mystery.
This story is an energetic and youthful ride that really delves into the fascinating world of interactive role-playing (or L.A.R.P.-ing), Ted Talks, teenage heartbreak, suspicious parents, oh, and some really cool “Cosplay.”
This, of course, is not the first literary run for the award winning Deoul, who is the author of the novel The Carousel, and who has produced TV series such as The Dead Zone, Brave New Girl, and Haven, as well as being the executive in charge of production for the series Dresden Files and Missing, but tackling a YA story might have seemed like the road less traveled to her at first. It is, however, a path she navigated to perfection providing an entertaining and enjoyable read for people of all ages.

Indie Authors Converge on Orlando for IBF 2015
Orlando, FL — From July 31 until
August 2, 2015 central Florida Independent authors will descend on Orlando’s
Caribe Royale Hotel for Indie BookFest 2015.
The Indie BookFest event is
designed to showcase self-published and independent authors to readers and
consumers, while providing opportunities to network with artists, cover
designers, editors, online bloggers and other professionals from the
independent publishing community.
The number of independent authors
and other professionals who are unaffiliated with traditional publishing
companies and venues has been on the rise in recent years due in no small part
to the shift in costs associated with self-publishing via the internet. Services like KDP, an Amazon direct to e-book
platform, Draft2Digital, another e-book platform and Amazon’s CreateSpace™
Publishing, a print on demand service, have introduced relatively simple, user
friendly and inexpensive ways for writers and other artists to bring their
books, music and even movies directly to consumer audiences worldwide.
“Technology in this case is setting
artists free from the constraints of the past,” said author G.W.Pomichter. “Print on Demand and e-book
formats have opened the market and given every writer access to the printing
presses that used to be controlled by a handful of business interests. It is a re-inventing of the printing press,
and it really is quite extraordinary.”
Indie BookFest is an opportunity
for these entrepreneurs to showcase their work and to meet with potential
readers as well as each other to celebrate what some like Pomichter say is a
revolution in the artistic community.
Traditional publishing paths have
customarily been difficult to break into and have been largely governed by very
strict business performance standards, giving stockholders and professional
business interests a greater influence over artistic projects. But in the Internet age, and with greater
technological access to print on demand services, new sales channels and
distribution models, and even social media platforms to build and grow
audiences, independent artists from film makers to authors are seeing a
renaissance of opportunity.
Indie Bookfest is both a
celebration of this phenomenon and an exercise in marketing these artists to
the general public.
“It is a very exciting time to be
an indie author,” said BookFest attendee and Author of the Submit to Darkness erotic thriller series, AJ Spencer. “It is a time when artists can control their
own work. It is a time when a writer has
to be more. We have to be part creator
and part marketer and part entrepreneur.”
One of the most exciting portions
of the 3-day event is a FREE author book signing event hosted from 2:30 p.m.
until 5 p.m. on Saturday August 1, 2015.

Pre-Orders Now On Sale of Florida author’s new ‘Who-Done-It’ are Being in time f next week’s “Indie Book Fest” in Orlando
MELBOURNE, FL —author G.W. Pomichter is pleased to announce his newest book, “Lot 28” is available for Pre-Order from online retailers, Amazon, B&N, Apple and more. The Paperback is also available at these retail outlets in anticipation of the book’s release on July 29, 2015.“Lot 28” is a sequel to Pomichter’s homage to classic noir, “Lucky,” which has soared to success since its June 2014 release. “Lucky” has sat in Amazon’s top 100 several times during 2014/15, and has gathered a significant social media following.
“Lot 28” follows Pomichter’s William Lucky Marks character on another murder mystery case, this time set in 1950’s Hollywood.
G.W. Pomichter describes the novella as a look at the more classic mystery “who-done-it” genre.
“It is always fun to write a story with such amazing roots in modern literature,” Pomichter said. “When we first read ‘Lucky,’ we are taken on a very nostalgic journey into the darker noir fiction of the 1930s and 40s. With ‘Lot 28,’ I really wanted to have a bit of fun with the “who-done-it” style familiar from ‘Clue’ or ‘And Then There Were None.’”
Pomichter summarizes the story, writing:
“In the summer of 1953, Private Investigator, Will “Lucky” Marks, was working as the in-house private eye for Arcane Pacific Pictures. That’s the summer when famed director Allister Walters was brutally stabbed to death on the scene of his last blockbuster hit mystery, the 1953 noir cult classic, “Witness to the Act.” Lucky is on the scene, and is pulled into this deliciously, deceitful drama of Hollywood film-making. Trapped inside the studio with the killer, Lucky must sort through arcane stereotypes, and challenge common perceptions of the time, as well as his own prejudices in order to sort through the gossip, innuendo and intrigue, to find the killer before time runs out. This movie murder mystery will pit Lucky against some of the most deceitful creatures on earth: movie stars.”
Pomichter claims that “Lot 28” was written to stand alone as its own story, but that fans and readers of “Lucky” will still get enough to demonstrate the connection between the two books.
“In this story, we get to see that Lucky suffers some consequences of the first book,” Pomichter said. “He isn’t as prepared as he should be for this case, because of his impatience in the first story. It means it takes a bit longer for him to fit the pieces together. Of course we also reference characters from book one, and some of our visual descriptions are meant to evoke images from the first as well. But in all, set as a different kind of story on the precipice of a different era, ‘Lot28’ stands by itself.”
“Lot 28” will be released in both e-book and in paperback at online book stores: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple’s popular iBooks, Kobo, Scrib’d and GooglePlay on July 29, 2015.
G.W. Pomichter will debut the book in paperback at the 2015 Indie Book Fest from July 31 thru August 2 at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida. For more information about Indie Book Fest, visit http://www.indiebookfestcon.com on the internet.
