Book Review: The Age of Zeus by James Lovegrove After reading Age of Heroes, I was really hoping for more of the same caliber of writing and story. I was let down. The book was simply awesome until the reveal at the half-way mark. I almost put the book down. The only reason I didn't … Continue reading Book Review: The Age of Zeus
Book Review: Age of Heroes
Book Review: Age of Heroes by James Lovegrove I'm not even sure where to begin with describing this book. The Greek demigods are alive and well and running around Earth? And now someone is killing them off? Hell, that's a 5-star rating just on the idea. And the book itself lived up to the hype. … Continue reading Book Review: Age of Heroes
Book Review: Hostile Takeover
Book Review: Hostile Takeover by Derek Blount This is not my typical read, but I was impressed with the story. It kept me guessing all the way through. I especially enjoyed the way Blount developed the characters. They were unique but familiar if you've ever spent time out in the real world. Readers should have … Continue reading Book Review: Hostile Takeover

Book Review: Running with the Pack
Edited by Ekaterina Sedia I picked this collection of werewolf short stories up at a used bookstore for $7.50. What a steal. Over 300 pages spanning 22 stories, the vast majority of which were five-star. Even the lowest rated one clocked in at three. If you are looking for a fantastic collection of werewolf stories, … Continue reading Book Review: Running with the Pack

I had a Canadian customer ask for Howlers on Kobo. As I aim to please, it's now published. I'm not happy with how the section break image rendered on this platform. It's pixelated.
Book Review: Open Source
Book Review: Open Source by Anna L. Davis. I met Anna L Davis at the DFW Writer’s Conference in April 2016. I was her wrangler on behalf of the DFW Writers’ Workshop, the ones who put the conference on every year. I’m ashamed to admit it, but the opinion I formed of her does not fit … Continue reading Book Review: Open Source
