This Side of Night is the third sequential book I have read by this author. That alone, considering how much I read, should give you insight into the level of how I enjoy his books.

Dizzy In Durango: An Andy Veracruz Mystery #3 by D. R. Ransdell
I met this author a couple of years ago at the Tucson Festival of Books – her smile pulled me to the booth, but her main character, Andy keeps me coming back for more reads.

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
High White Sun by J. Todd Scott
This federal agent turned author impressed me with his first book and this, his second was the same level of intense prose and consuming read.

Todd Scott

A Cold Blooded Rain by T. R. Leton
I am a Sam Spade fan and when I saw this book – I knew I wanted to read it. The author sent me a link to his website and an intriguing book trailer video. Watch it HERE.
