Holiday Promo Tour Day 15: Andrew Hess






About the Author:

Andrew Hess is a resident of Long Island New York. He debuted his first book, Chamber of souls, in 2011. The Chamber was a unique free verse poetry book that depicted the struggles of man as he falls into his own self wallowing journey while struggling to find himself. Hess followed this up with another book of poetry which showed a much darker side called; Hall of the Forgotten.
Hess has a love for mystery novels which was apparent by him taking a stab at a fictional government conspiracy series; The Phoenix Blade. This series has taken readers by storm by showcasing a group of vigilante 20 year olds that have been hired by the government to rid the country of people that have evaded justice. The Phoenix Blade currently has released the third installment of the series and was awarded Best Series of 2014 by Indie Author Books.
Despite living most of his life on Long Island, Andrew also spent five years living in the Ulster and Dutchess County areas and returns several times a year. His return trips have inspired him to create another intense series depicting a female detective named Ali Ryan called, Campus Killer.
Hess is an avid blogger at TheWritersRevolution13.blogspot.com where he promotes and interviews other authors as well as reviewing books of all genres. He has partnered up with several companies to help showcase authors from all over the world.
Hess is also a frequent guest on the Anthony Charles Podcast, a show dedicated to creative professionals as they give insight into their works and the lives they lead; guests have included authors, comedians, musicians, stuntmen, actors and producers.



The Phoenix Blade Series:

What would you do if everything you said and did was monitored and used to force you into working covertly for the government?
College student Andrew Lancaster has had enough of corrupt politicians and corporate greed, but his anger filled rants may have gone too far. When Lancaster is contacted by a government official calling himself “The Benefactor,” he learns his private communications have been monitored. And there will be consequences.
Lancaster is given a choice; join forces with the government he distrusts, or face a treason indictment. As an added incentive, he’ll receive the answer to a question that has plagued him since childhood-who killed his mother.
It is something Lancaster cannot live without knowing and enlists as an undercover operative in Project Justice. At first the mission seems ideally suited for his do-gooder attitude. But Lancaster soon discovers the tactics he’ll be using are not only dishonest; they’re deadly.
Lancaster learns he will be an assassin; eliminating targets the Benefactor and other high ranking officials deem to be evil.

Trapped Inside: Living With Agoraphobia

Fear is a powerful emotion that finds its way into the mind of everyone. It’s manipulative and controlling. It can paralyze you and make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. It will sink its teeth into you and won’t let you go without a fight.
For Justin Ackers, fear became a reality when he decided to walk home from work. After taking a shortcut to his apartment, Justin found himself entering a world of trouble. He was surrounded by a gang of thugs that was out for blood, his blood.
The nightmare replayed for months rendering Justin incapable of leaving the apartment. The mere thought of going outside brought on panic attacks that brought on horrible memories. Now he confines himself in the safety of his apartment, and is forced to watch the world go on without him.

Book Reviews: Pandemonium




Here are just some of the reviews Pandemonium has received.


This book starts off showing how well evil blends in.  You can be anywhere and not know what’s lurking behind you until it’s too late.  Almost from the beginning, the reader is embroiled in suspense.  It’s a twisted tale that shows how disconnected from reality a person can get.  It also shows the terror that evil can evoke. 
Andrew Lancaster is a young man who has a lot on his shoulders.  He’s trying to have a normal life in a world that’s gotten very chaotic.  He has an enemy that’s evil personified.  Our author shows that no one can consider themselves safe anymore.  It shows the length someone will go to in order to inflict pain on someone else.
This book is like the first time I watched “Poltergeist” – I needed a pillow to hide behind.  But it’s also like a guilty pleasure – you may put the book down for a while but you can’t help yourself and have to pick it up again.  If you’re looking for a read to get you out of your comfort zone then you’ve found that here.
 
I feel that if you’ve never read this author before, this would be a great start but…  But if you really want to understand his characters, you do need to start at the beginning of this series.  The ending wraps up the series so if you’re even thinking of reading Project Justice and Awakening, I wouldn’t read Pandemonium first.
 
Our author is a very creative person.  With the way he’s developed all his characters and his scenes.  He makes his story fit into what is currently going on in the world.  And he also makes you question how real it is.  You can just picture every event as it occurs.  After finishing this series, the next thing you have to decide is what you’re going to read next.
 
~Lynn's Romance Enthusiasm



Evil is everywhere, according to this book and it creeps up on you when you least expect it.  I was riveted from the very start of this tale about how evil can twist your reality into a swirling sea of horror.
Andrew Lancaster just wants a normal life which is difficult in the chaotic world that surrounds him. This book personifies the nature of evil and how it will target and destroy anyone in its path. I couldn’t put it down.
This is the third book in this series and honestly, its best to start with book one so that you have the full understanding of the plot and characters. After you read Project Justice and Awakening, Pandemonium will complete the thrilling suspense series.

~Author Alaina Stanford.




Pandemonium is the third installment of the The Phoenix Blade series.  The Phoenix, Andrew Lancaster, and his cohorts are hiding from the The Revolution in New York.  Their only hope is The Reaper stays in hiding.  Unfortunately, this enemy isn't finished and wants revenge on them and everyone they love.

The author begins the story right away.  The reader is instantly whisked into the mind of the demented Reaper.  There is explosive action on almost on the first page.

The reader is then given a quick synopsis of the last two books.  So the series can be read in sequence, or read individually if desired.


Overall, Pandemonium is a well written book. The author created a fast paced action packed story. It has romance, revenge and a crazy twist in the end.

It's a complete story, however, the author leaves the reader wondering if the Phoenix's adventures are truly over.


~A.E. Albert

Update: The Phoenix Blade



Two years ago was the debut of not only my first novel, but also the launch of my dream. At the time, it was an eight and a half year journey reaching what I felt was the pinnacle of my life. There was much I needed to learn and needed to realize I had a long journey ahead. Hell, I still do. Getting the first book out was a great milestone. The Phoenix Blade Series has provided several milestones for me and has helped me connect with some amazing authors as well.
