Book Review: Kevin Cooper’s The Devils Apology (Kindle Edition)
The Satan we meet in Kevin Cooper’s “The Devils Apology” is very different from the being portrayed in Milton’s Paradise Lost, or is he? Cooper’s Devil describes a vengeful god who, not content with ruling his own realm forceably encroaches on Lucifer’s kingdom. The devil is forced to defend his kingdom and it is only through bad luck that god (rather than Satan) is victorious. In an amusing passage Lucifer describes how he punched God in the face rendering him ugly. This is, he informs us why God will never show himself to humanity.
Throughout Satan is persuasive and the reader, as with the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil, begins to warm to him. However we ought to remember that it is the devil with whom we are dealing. The silver tongued serpent, described by Milton, who will say or do anything to obtain his ends. Can we believe a word he says? Alternatively is it God who has been hood winking us into believing his version of events and is the devil a much maligned creature? You decide.

Review Of Sting In The Tail
I was delighted to receive the following 4 star review of my collection of short stories, Sting In The Tail And Other Stories, on Amazon
“Several short, gritty tales from the dark side – no, not horror or star wars type dark side, but the dark side of humanity where self interest holds sway”. For the review please visit http://www.amazon.com/review/RT7UWA5FCFNM4/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00DFK6R54&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=133140011&store=digital-text.
Sting In The Tail will be available free in the Kindle store from Monday 2 December until Friday 6 December.
Published!
A good short story with an unexpected twist in the tale. Well worth a read.
My blogger friends, I would like to share with you a piece of great news: I got published!
It had been a long journey for me trying, then giving up, then trying again, leading to this moment. I always felt inferior somehow – that I am incompetent. I felt that not being a native English speaker was disadvantageous for my writing ambitions; so having my English-written story published is major for me. I realize that this may not be huge, still I am optimistic that it is a step in the right direction.
Here’s the link to the thriller: November 13th. Please feel free to read it, share it, and let me know what you think 🙂 🙂
