Mission

"We created this blog as a hub; the nerve center of our collective social-networking, homepages, books and distribution.

This is a place for our unyielding, genuine selves to pool together as many badass books and as much information about as many rock-star writers as we can.

We've done this to give readers, fans, players, and watchers of badass entertainment the badass material they need...

We do not fit the stereotypical author profiles.
We like heavy metal, epic movies, video games, and high octane, in-your-face, full throttle materials.
Many of us have a dark mindset, others are just wild and scattered, and some may or may not need an attitude adjustment.
But that's just the way we like it.
Raw, real, harsh to some, but an epic home for our ilk.

Some of us you may not have discovered until the moment you set your digital foot into this space, but we have bound together a group to prove that quality writing isn't restricted to genre-favoritism and big-publishing.

Our philosophy:
If you like a Thriller written by a badass, chances are, if that badass wrote a Fantasy, you'd like it too. So, if another badass with similar a mindset wrote a fantasy, we believe you may just enjoy that too.

Genre is now irrelevant in this new publishing world.

Instead, we take a good long look at the people behind these stories, and suggest you read them based on who they are; not what genre they write.
Why?
Because a badass book is a badass book no matter where it lands on the shelves!
This is because their authors share badass interests and have similar mindsets...Mindsets like your own!

Many of us aren't even "just writers," but artists in a variety of forms.

Here, you fans of the badass slice of life we all thoroughly enjoy, will have a source for new and unexpected originality, and a powerful, ever-expanding collection of soulful stories by badass people.

But more than just books; you will find more about the artists themselves than you might find in other blogs.
We give you their social media, home pages, distribution and the like, so you can connect with some of the most accessible, badass writers out there."

A Badass Reviews - "Dance of Demons and Angels"

Badass Author of "Dehumanized"(and many other great short stories), Michael Loring, reviews "Dance of Demons and Angels" by Badass Author, Natasha Wetzel.


Summary:
They both have a painful past, they both became what they thought was needed to right wrongs of their hurt filled history. When Leena stumbles onto one of the worst crime scenes she has seen in her long years as an FBI agent, she knows that the Blood Fire Tyrant is now stateside and nothing will stop his reign of blood and death unless she can stop him. But something isn't right with the man known as Tyran...something about his eyes, his speed... he doesn't seem human at all, and none live that oppose him. But Leena stands up to him, risking her career, her badge, and even her life to stop him.
Who will be the victor?

Review:
"I had the extreme pleasure of beta-reading this novella for Natasha Wetzel and David Maher, and was pleasantly surprised to find how in sync these two were in their writing styles. I honestly didn't know in what way this was co-written until I was told they alternated chapters.

I thought it was done by one and merely edited by the other! That's how good these two work together.

The story alternates between two characters: the detective, Leena, and the mysterious, Tyran.

Both have haunted pasts, and once brought together, begin a riveting 'dance' for dominance. Leena is out to prove that she is not a monster, go so far as to risk everything. The story comes around into a thrilling conclusion that I personally didn't see coming until it did.

I've stated before that I am a fan of Badass Author, Natasha Wetzel's work, and this novella doesn't change my mid a bit. She and her partner come out with a thrilling new story that is so deliciously dark you can't help but love it. I don't hesitate to recommend it to everyone who is looking for something unique and brilliantly written!

Five out of Five Stars!"

A Badass Reviews - "The Darkness of the Womb"

Badass Author of the "EPIC" series, Justin Osborne drops his thoughts on "The Darkness of the Womb" by Badass Author, Richard B. Knight


"Aiden Haunt is fated to become the next Messiah, but there's a problem. Aiden wants absolutely nothing to do with his destiny, so he decides to cast himself from the Tree of Life. In effect, attempting pre-natal suicide. Thus begins the quest to convince Aiden to want to be born to accept his destined role in the future of humanity.

But be warned, this tale is bleak, with nary a puppy or rainbow to be found, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I absolutely love the feel of this story; dark, bleak, and just a wee bit twisted - a highly original concept executed masterfully by Mr. Knight.

The story starts with Aiden's soon-to-be Father, Jeff Haunt, a middle-aged high-school teacher in an inner city hellhole, very nearly broke, and on the knife's edge of losing his job. The only glimmer of hope in his life is the impending birth of his long awaited first child, but Jeff's whole world comes crashing down on him after a series of misfortunes, and both he and his wife suddenly find themselves cast into The Internal Landscape to 'save' their son.

This book gets an EPIC 5 stars from me, and I very much look forward to reading more from Mr. Knight."

A Badass Reviews - "E.L.F. - White Leaves"

Badass Author, C. A. Sanders, author of "Song of Simon"/"The Watchmage of Old New York"(Free Serial @ JukePopSerials.com) gives a few words on "E.L.F. - White Leaves" by Badass Author and BA admin, M. P. Ness.


"I was lucky enough to read White Leaves when it was on JukePop Serials, where it held the Top spot for several weeks(#1 reader voted for two consecutive months, Jan./Feb. 2013). If you like action, flawed characters, and more action, White Leaves is a great find.

I was especially impressed with the internal conflict within the protagonist. When she is exposed to true ecoterrorists, her little acts of defiance seem very small in magnitude.

The prose has trouble with wordiness, but I am willing to overlook that in favor of the action and characterization. the fact is that I loved this book, and am looking forward to the sequels."

"Get ready for another epic adventure as we follow Hunter, Elly, and all of their friends as their journey continues into the world of the supernatural and unknown!

Directly following book one, The Beast of Bladenboro, the children start their new lives as future members of the Secret Seekers Society! But first, the children have to go through six years of training, known only as the 'Enlightenment'.

What will the children learn about in the first years? What new friends with they meet?

The story delves deeper into the spiritual realm of the paranormal, this time around. Learning about a magical and ancient ring known as Solomon's Seal(the book's namesake), known to grant its wearer the ability to speak to animals and spirits. The children must decide if playing with the spiritual realm, and potentially speaking to their late parents one last time is worth the risk of putting their souls in danger.

With rumors spreading that their parents were 'double agents' and working with the evil Aten Corp., the children are desperate for answers.

Ist the ring real? Does it truly grant its wearer such powers? Or does Solomon's Seal hide a deeper evil?

Get ready for the ride of your life, as nothing is ever as it seems inside the Belmonte Estate. If you though there were secrets abound in the first book, just wait until the children unravel even more of the mansion's history, the origin of Professor Calenstine, his relationship with Aten Corp. and the truth about the mysteries of the world.

...It's called the 'enlightenment' for a reason..."
