Aliens that pull pranks – I’m in! This Space Opera/Science Fiction is an incredibly quick paced read. While there are the usual many characters, worlds, ships, etc. to keep track of, this author does a great job of creating each and making the transitions easy to follow. I can’t imagine the book without any … Continue reading The Crimson Deathbringer by Sean Robins

Ghost Days, An Anna O’Brien Collection by Asher Elbein & Tiffany Turrill
Wandering around twitter one day, I saw a local author doing a reading at Malvern Books. Recovering from foot surgery, I knew there is no way I could attend, but I could be a decent soul and at least re-tweet the event. One thing led to another and surprise – a copy of this book … Continue reading Ghost Days, An Anna O’Brien Collection by Asher Elbein & Tiffany Turrill
Chance Beginning (Shadow’s Fire #1) by Christopher Patterson
The first book in this trilogy does a great job of pulling the reader in. The author nicely gives all the background information needed as the story progresses. What starts as a story of two brothers and a cousin from a farming background who find themselves trying to scratch out a living and exist in … Continue reading Chance Beginning (Shadow’s Fire #1) by Christopher Patterson
Nomad by Aaron S Gallagher
The characters that this author creates are always the draw for me. He has outdone himself in this book. The main character, Joshua or Nomad, is a good guy trying to do the right thing and looking for justice for his club (aka his family). While he is a “tough biker” inside, he is the … Continue reading Nomad by Aaron S Gallagher
Defiled (The Castle Chronicles, Book 1) by Michael Vassel
What a perfect start to either YA or Adult summer reading. Majority of the story gathers around high school age characters. There is a strong supporting character in Blackjack (the cat) and his relationship with the main character, Mark giving the reader glimpses of light humor. The story follows Mark through his life and the … Continue reading Defiled (The Castle Chronicles, Book 1) by Michael Vassel
Tales From The Beach House by James Aylott
This book is a well-connected web of stories involving a motel turned apartment’s amusing and provocative residents. At first, it reads like a collection of stories, each one from a different apartment but they quickly turn into the far-reaching stories of not just the residents, but the area and the “outside” lives of each character. … Continue reading Tales From The Beach House by James Aylott
Write to Heal: Seven Women, Seven Triumphs, Collected by Dr. Karen Maxfield-Lunkin
I am always amazed at people who can open themselves up and share so much of their lives on paper for the world to see. These seven women are incredible, not only in their stories but in their strength and ability to allow the reader an opportunity to step into their worlds and at the … Continue reading Write to Heal: Seven Women, Seven Triumphs, Collected by Dr. Karen Maxfield-Lunkin
The Arms of Death (Loch Lonach Mystery Series: Book One) By Maggie Foster
Not what I expected in a good way. The genre stated Medical Fiction or Amature Sleuths. However, I see it more like an intense, above the norm cozy. There are characters you can wrap your brain around, modern issues, and occurrences with a touch of Old World charm. This book had enough science (easily explained), … Continue reading The Arms of Death (Loch Lonach Mystery Series: Book One) By Maggie Foster
Girl With A Star Spangled Heart by Elaine Fields Smith
One of my favorite things to do is wander around a book festival. However, I had the pleasure of meeting this author before it even started! I was sitting and listening to awards at the North Texas Book Festival when Elaine sat down beside me. What an interesting person! She has authored books about some … Continue reading Girl With A Star Spangled Heart by Elaine Fields Smith
Simple Glory by John Clendening
Being a Texas transplant myself and seeing the explosion of growth in Austin, I was intrigued when I met John Clendening at the North Texas Book Festival. He told me about his book and the heart or almost hidden center of the story which is can a small town retain its soul as it expands? … Continue reading Simple Glory by John Clendening
