Midwest Book Review: Bulwark by Brit Lunden

Image
Bulwark Britt Lunden Chelshire Inc. 9781947188914, $8.99, PB, 146pp, www.amazon.com Clay Finnes is the sheriff of a small town in Georgia called Bulwark. Recently separated from his wife, all he can think about is what went wrong, and will Jenna ever come back to him. He's troubled by a bothersome reporter trying to build a story from what he thinks is a normal day in his life. Clay has to admit that the fantastical stories, told by an accident victim as well as unusual sightings of wolves, things are getting a bit strange. A visit to the ominous Gingerbread House makes him realize that his life as he knows it will never be the same. An inherently riveting and original little novel by an accomplished master of narrative storytelling, "Bulwark" by Britt Lunden is unreservedly recommended for community library collections and available for personal reading lists in a digital book format (Kindle, $0.99). Also very highly recommended is Britt Lunden's "The...

Feathered Quill: Bulwark

Bulwark By: Brit Lunden Publisher: Chelshire, Inc. Publication Date: January 2018 ISBN: 978-1947188907 Reviewed by: Holly Connors Review Date: January 6, 2019 A sleepy little town in Georgia is the perfect setting for a paranormal thriller that amps up the "creepy" factor in a story with more twists and turns than an old country road. Clay Finnes is the sheriff of Bulwark, Georgia, a small town where nothing much happens. He's got a slightly annoying deputy, Owen Bishop, who means well but just isn't the brightest light bulb in the pack. As the story opens, Clay and Owen are at the scene of an accident where an out-of-town couple got their car stuck in a big green pond of muck. The accident happened at the outskirts of town, a place where there are remnants of an old road, but nothing else. Where were they coming from and where did that pond of bad smelling water come from? After finishing the investigation at the scene of the accident, Clay goes to...
I read this and wanted to share it... From the surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher: Please pause for 2 minutes and read this: 1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. 2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. 3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home. 4. Unfortunately, you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. 5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself. 6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. 7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigoro...

Feathered Quill Author Interview: Brit Lunden

Author Interview:  Brit Lunden https://featheredquill.com/bulwark/ Today, Feathered Quill reviewer Holly Connors is talking with Brit Lunden, the author of  Bulwark. FQ:  Bulwark  starts out right in the middle of the action, without boring the reader with pages of introductions, scene setting, etc. It’s all right there on that first page. Was this intentional? LUNDEN: Yes. I start all my fiction right in the center of the action and let the reader learn by showing, not telling. It's how I like to read other author's books, and it's the way I always modeled mine, from children's books to adult fiction. FQ: The setting of Bulwark, Georgia, is very much a character in the story. Is the town based on a town from your past? Or one that is completely made up? LUNDEN: I drove through Georgia when I was fifteen years old on a trip down to Florida with my family. The quiet, isolated feel stayed with me. We stopped for a rest break in a rural area. I recall...

http://kaymacleodbooks.com/2019-update/ As we’re saying goodbye to January, I thought it was about time I gave you guys a proper update of what I have going on this year. I’ve put a lot of effort into learning how to write faster and smarter over the last few months, so there is a lot to look forward to! I’ve already finished a 15K short called The Missing Branch that will be part of an anthology coming out later in the year. These stories are linked to  Brit Lunden ‘s paranormal thriller, Bulwark. Make sure you grab a  copy to get up to speed with the setting. It’s my first foray into the paranormal genre and there may be some romance in there too… US –  https://www.amazon.com/Bulwark-Brit-Lunden-ebook/dp/B079BCLL2C UK –  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bulwark-Brit-Lunden-ebook/dp/B079BCLL2C Next up, I’ll be releasing the side project I’ve been hinting at for a couple of months.
