Oh let’s face it, the arena of life is filled with critics regardless of what profession, or walk of life you're from. Everyone has a say, which really belongs to the person who's critiquing whatever it is they're reading, working on, or just want to chime in on something other than their own. Projecting evaluations of another’s work isn’t the last say, it's only one person’s say! It doesn’t mean it’s a definitive, or a means to sway others in any direction whatsoever. It's merely just input, giving direction of sorts to either, better oneself in the area of expertise of your work, or just trying to give a personal perspective on their very own liking of whatever it is you're doing or have done.


It's a blessing in disguise really when you think of it, for it lends the credence of you and in saying so; they're taking notice of you. Good or bad, a critique is still “Good”, as it's the benchmark for you to work at understanding the fact, not everyone will like, or achieve that same result as many others who might agree, or even disagree with what's being evaluated.


Never walk away from a Critic’s view point, for remember, it’s only one view point that actually is constructive criticism and you can draw from that. Once again, no one critique will be the same as the other, thus, you, as the subject of the inquisition, have an opportunity to utilize all aspects of what's being said. A personal point of view has its merits and then again, that's all it is, a personal point of view. Remember, the critic, is only as good as his/her critique, which gives you the upper hand in the first place. Always look at it through rose colored glasses, as well as a glass half full!

When life as we know it suddenly changes, Time Shift-The Paradigm becomes your future!

"Astounding Roller Coaster Ride. This Book Is Epic! It is well written as the climax begins on page 2 right to the end with an unexpected twist. Just Genius! I have one specific scene that is still haunting me from last night. The part between Zebra Station and the #2 Pod I believe...That writing is so exciting I'm heavily reminded of The Airport Scene in Stephen Kings The Langoliers. The reason I make that comparison is that is absolutely one of my favorite books and it was represented well in movie form. I make this coloration because it is EXTREMELY Easy to see this book in movie form and I would be extremely excited to hear that as a possibility too!" Michael Kalinowski

Time Shift Compared to Stephen Kings Langoliers!

"Robbie Thomas Book Is Epic!"

" Robbie Thomas' book "Time Shift The Paradigm" is an astounding roller-coaster ride through an exciting world that I walk away feeling personally invested in. Robbie takes a very cerebral approach to writing that informs with legitimate fact and current research while keeping the action extremely exciting pulling you more into the world he writes about. Time Shift, is written in a way that you become immersed in the story. You understand the motives and thoughts of the characters, you start to care and worry about them. It becomes so easy to relate to with the inclusion of fact and current theories that you can visualize yourself involved with the story. But just when you start to understand what's happening... *WHAM!*... there's another curve ball that takes you down another exciting path full of science, twists, turns, reality and surreal moments of unexplained phenomena and so much more!

This is a book that is extremely hard to put down! Part of me knows it's fiction, but then again, frequently you're left thinking about the possibility of....I just can't give it away! You must read this to understand. When one chapter ends you drive to know what happens next. Robbies' writing brings surreal phenomena to a level that makes you think it could be an extreme possibility in reality. I'm thoroughly excited to review this book for Robbie Thomas and I eagerly anticipate more great writings!"


Side Note:

All that aside, I've one specific scene that's still haunting me from last night. The part between Zebra Station and the #2 Pod I believe...That writing's so exciting I'm heavily reminded of The Airport Scene in Stephen Kings The Langoliers. The reason I make that comparison, it's absolutely one of my favorite books and it was represented well in movie form. I make this coloration because it's EXTREMELY Easy to see this book in movie form and I'd be extremely excited to hear that as a possibility too!

Is this book trying to tell us something? 4 Major Events coming true AFTER book is published!

Good morning EVERYONE! I have some really spine tingly news!!!!!!! As you know, I wrote TIME SHIFT THE PARADIGM, and since its release 3 synchronicities have come true, before, or after its release. One being the projection of the 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, off the coast of Japan, then days later it happened. Well, I’ve just received in the mail, an article and in the article a 4th premonition, if you will, or synchronicity has come true. It’s almost the exact wording, to which I wrote about in 2011-2012 area then released May 10 2012. Well, one major scene in the book has now come to fruition and as you read this article (and those of you who have read Time Shift The Paradigm), will notice immediately and it too will send chills down your spine.

http://www.heritagedaily.com/2013/01/...


This all started as a project writing a movie script in hopes, it might be picked up and developed. Through corresponding at times with a producer in the early days of the script throughout the end of 2011 and right up until the last day before the actual 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, we had discussed many principles within the script itself. I know for some, it’s hard to imagine writing events that actually do happen and out of thought this all comes. It’s true! I made insertions or postings, if you will, during the time of March 2 up until March 10 2011 in a public forum, which still remain today, explaining in heading as such >PANIC< that was one of the postings titles. From there, I made mention of “Chaos, catastrophe, Peru, the world, Black Abyss, Tsunami etc.) I make mention of a team of scientists working in Peru, looking for many historical artifacts and come upon a mountain area to a door that was sealed and behind growth, vines and the jungle. (Exactly like the article which you will read that brings the book to #4 synchronicity or premonition) detailed in writing long before it became news.


What’s remarkable about the release of Time Shift The Paradigm in a timely fashion, is the fact the night of May 9 2012 it was submitted to Createspace for release. On May 10 2012, it posted hardcopy release with date attached on Amazon. The cover of the book depicts the world (our world), burning through the Mayan calendar. This is representation of us, who live here on earth moving forward and that the missing piece or link to the calendar we come to know where it had a prediction of the end of the world was not true. Late afternoon on CNN news broke on the 10 of May after the books release, scientist found in a cave a complete Mayan calendar that had a complete cycle and the world would not end. The book was released before the finding making it a premonition in writing (a story line) come true and synchronicity #2 came true. During the course of June-July of 2012 once again in the news on CNN and other news channels, Scientists seemed to have found a Universe very similar to ours with a planet that “mirrored” our planet. The book tells a story of parallel universe that is a “mirrored” image of ours and is a huge key to the story. People were able to see this “mirrored” image in the book and describe it as our world, but only on the different parallel plain. Syncronicity or premonition #3, written about long before the finding of that solar system, or universe with a planet just like ours that made the news.


Is the book trying to tell us something? Is it revealing things of major proportions that will allow us to understand whatever message it has coded within that is in a storyline? A roadmap perhaps!? Below you will find a correlation told by the producer, Mr. Don Hutcheson, who is a scientist with many inventions to his name. He has credentials of working with, or for Homeland Security through an affiliate company and that of working in the past for one of the top innovative companies in the world.


“In early 2011, Robbie and I were discussing his movie scripts for his Psychic Nightmare Trilogy. He mentioned to me, he was writing a new script that had an end of times theme to it. It was a worldwide apocalypse with catastrophic events in Peru, United States, and Japan. On March 10, 2011 in a telephone conversation, Robbie described for me the turbulent end-of-the world events contained in the writings, which included a giant tsunami caused by a nine point zero (9.0) earthquake. I thought nothing of it until Robbie and I talked two days later after the event in Japan. Imagine my surprise when the eight point nine (8.9) earthquake that caused the tsunami that hit Japan was reclassified as a nine point zero (9.0) earthquake. It is either a remarkable coincidence or a premonition written by Robbie and discussed with me just a day before it actually happened.
Remarkable!
~ Don Hutcheson, Creative Producer, Liftoph Productions


Although the book itself has received many outstanding reviews from critics worldwide, it continues to this day to surprise even me for the focus was, seeing all this play out in my mind then put to paper. Sometimes premonitions play out like this and come in a course of time that might help, or explain the unknown happenings we all see that come true. Sometimes, they come where one might not be paying attention, but thinking on a much broader span doing something very different, but correlates to what's going on at that time. Messages through cognitive thinking! Einstein and many of the world’s greatest thinkers of our time were said to have imagined, daydreamed and even from dreams, had messages from a different plain sent to them. We all know from history and from their work what came of those moments they encountered. Many of us today do the same, many of us sometimes are passed messages and shrug them off as coincidence, or meaningless, until it happens whatever that event might be.


Time Shift The Paradigm – Timeless messages of what has come true and perhaps what is still to come!

"I'm reading the first book and let me tell ya, it's some creepy a$$ $h!t I highly recommend this book for any of my friends in The Paranormal community."

A paranormal adventure into terror, February 6, 2013
By B. Davis "B Davis"

Another spine tingling chiller, thriller from Robbie Thomas. His books always keep me riveted to my seat and this one is no different.
I love that when Robbie writes a book, it puts you right into the story and right into the minds of the characters.
You really feel like you are there with them as their journey into the paranormal becomes all to real and all to terrifying for them.
If you love horror and the paranormal then you need to get a copy of Parasylum. Then go sit in your favorite chair, in a darkened room, with a dimly lit lamp and prepare to be thoroughly spooked.
I can't wait to see what Robbie Thomas come up with next? Well done.

Parasylum II The Unleashed
by Robbie Thomas (CreateSpace 2013)

http://www.robbiethomas.net

✯✯✯✯✯

Parasylum is back and it’s scarier than ever! Robbie Thomas has once again proven he is a master at writing horror. The fear is palatable and without a doubt will have your heart pounding and you at the edge of your seat.

After the surprise ending in the first Parasylum installment you would think a whole new cast of characters would be on this investigation. But you would be wrong. The team of five is back in full force on what could be the one to go down in their records as the investigation that almost ended their lives.

From the moment the team sets foot in the Rendezvous Hotel, they are confronted with threats by the ghosts of mobsters from the 1920s looking to add more victims to their stockpile. With each floor they investigate, the walls seem to come alive with demons and monsters, and situations that will have the team questioning their sanity.

Throw in a rogue team of investigators and the haunting ramps up to an even horrific level, causing them all to start running for their lives in search of escape from the Rendezvous Hotel.

Any horror aficionado will crawl inside this book wanting to take part in the terrifying action. Thomas, a psychic and avid paranormal investigator, knows the terror of an active investigation. As a result, he is able to transfer the fear into words that most definitely rival Steven King, the reigning master of horror.

The devil is in the details and Thomas has done his homework. He brings all the elements of investigation to his readers in the form of equipment and terminology. He continued development of his characters that enables readers to make a connection, which inevitably draws them further into the story.

Bottom line; if you are looking for a horror story that will have you turning on all the lights, checking under the furniture and making sure the doors are all locked, this is the book for you. Pull up your big boy panties and be prepared for the scare of your lives. This one is a killer.


Jodi Hanson
Suspense Magazine

"Robbie Thomas takes his personal experience, knowledge and expertise in the paranormal realm and combines his creative writing skills to once again create a masterpiece horror story. I was completely enthralled with the team. I said it before, and I will say it again, Robbie does an effin fantastic job “painting” the interpersonal relationship amongst the team members in the Parasylum novels.

Parasylum is back and it’s scarier than ever! Robbie Thomas has once again proven he is a master at writing horror. The fear is palatable and without a doubt will have your heart pounding and you at the edge of your seat!"

http://hauntedbookcase.wordpress.com/...

A Critic, is only as good as their Critique! As surprising as this statement is, it just happens to be the truth. Although, many individuals may have different perspectives, it remains that the story or writing style of an Author is just that, it’s the Authors' choice. Points of view, are suggestive thoughts on how one would perceive or would like the story to go. This is what one might call, control literary thought. However, once again, it’s good to have varied points of view on everything about your work. Let’s face it, everyone has an opinion, however, it doesn’t mean it’s the only opinion or the beat all to end all point of view or review. Writing styles vary and that’s a good thing. Wouldn’t it be a boring reading world, if we had to have a set writing style or usage of grammar. The way one speaks in life, is most certainly different at times of that of a writing on paper. It’s just a given, thus, if one argues this point, they’re fight an uphill battle as thousands of great writers utilize many variables in the art of writing.

Fifty Shades Of Grey! Well, there's a hot topic! Critics, jumped all over the Author about her "writing style and choice of grammar". Didn't she add a shade of "red face" to those who did so as she's in the many "shades of green" now! Again, writers choice in how they want to express "their" story in the "style" they feel best, is their choice and should be respected as such!

Just my view on reviews of said critics! (Playing Devils Advo’critic’)
