If you have been reading my blogs for even just a short while you will know that I am a fan of snarky, tongue-in-cheek phrases, wise guys and puns. This book had it all. At one point I was laughing just as hard as the characters, Melody & Felicity, about of all things – technological … Continue reading Weasel Words (Bernard and Melody Caper) By Dale E. Lehman

Once you accomplish that, the rest of the read is … Continue reading A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy) By Rebecca Crunden
