Testimonials

“I have worked with several editors in my writing career, but I can't see working with anybody else other than Tasha Schiedel. Not only does she catch mistakes that I have missed after pouring over my work several times, she also finds plot holes, timeline issues, and makes the most helpful suggestions. Tasha is a true professional. Her communication skills are bar none. She has never left me hanging. Not once. She is my biggest critic yet my best champion." - Chad Miller, author of Paroxysm of Fear



"When my publisher told me that my editor for my novel The Opium Addict, a historical mystery sent in Meiji era Japan, would be Tasha, I, at first, was a bit nervous, if not skeptical that someone who didn't know me at all—and didn't know Japan—was up for the task. I knew immediately, when Tasha got to work on the manuscript, however, that she and I would get along. She not only met my expectations as an editor who could catch typos and grammatical mistakes, she polished my prose in places and caught inconsistencies in the plot and characters. That's what I wanted in an editor, not just a spellcheck person, but someone who understood storytelling. She improved the novel and
also put up with my constant revisions. I wrote the novel long before it was published, and, as a writer, I had changed, as had my prose style. She never tired of my revisions. I highly recommend Tasha as an editor and look forward to working with her again. James Roth. www.jamesroth.org ."


"Ok, so here's the thing, Tasha is great to work with. I am amazed at how well she manages to take my 2nd rate work and help me make it make sense. She gives advice where it is needed and when she needs clarification she is open and works with you in order to figure out the best way to make something that sounds weird make sense. I have worked with her on several books and novella and she hasn't disapointed me yet. I hope to work with her many more times in the future or until my terrible writing causes her an aneurysm. Either way I will continue to use her services. Her pricing is great, communication is great, and her input is always welcome. If you want someone who genuinely loves what they do, I hope you will give her a chance. You wont be disapointed." Steven Bazydlo, author of Feral Terra, Tower 4, and Devourers Tales

101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw: Draw, doodle, and color a plethora of purrfectly pawesome felines and quirky cat mash-ups by Lulu Mayo

  Thank you #NetGalley and author #LuluMayo for sending me a copy of this fantastic book 101 Super Cute Cat Things to Draw!! This is such a cute book! Lulu Mayo teaches us how to draw some of the cutest little cat things. It starts out with a section of using a color wheel. I love the title of one of them "Pawsitively Pretty Pastels". From there on, the author shows up 101 ways to draw a cat. Such as a cat dragon, a mushroom cat, a cat cabbage, and cats drawn as zodiac signs! Even if you don't draw all of the cats, this is definitely a must-have for all cat lovers!

The Trunk by Mia Dalia

  This was a crazy story! It starts out smooth as molasses and then gets all twisted and dark. It’s one of those stories that escalates quickly going all outta left field. Bogdan and his wife buy their first home together and it comes with a basement… with a trunk in the basement. Nothing else is down in the basement but this weird trunk. He doesn’t think too much of it at first. Until he finally decides to open the trunk. Mia Dalia writes fantastic stories. She has quite an imagination to give her stories lots of twists and turns. She told me once that she enjoys psychology and I think she writes with that in mind. Her writing style invokes humanity’s inner demons and pushes the mind to harrowing events. If you are in the mood for a quick horror story with a psychological twist, you need to read The Trunk and Smile So Red by Mia; she will dig into your brain.

The power of love is one action that helps Scares that Care be successful.  The stories are about cryptids, human horrors, empty towns, ghosts, and historical horror.  It is a unique blend of different horrors. It would be hard to choose one favorite out of this collection. Every single story was enjoyable, and it introduced me to authors I had not heard of before.
