I have been waiting for this book with anticipation and a bit of sadness. I knew the author planned to end the series with this, the fifth book. While I love the world and characters she had created, I am sad to see them end. However, I can appreciate an author who knows how to … Continue reading The Last Ny-Failen: Book Five in the Kingdom of Jior Series By Wendy L. Anderson

Mixing a mystery with teenage angst can be daunting but Baldwin does it with enough finesse to keep adults interested as well. This mixture of several subplots and teen flip flop emotions makes for a page turner. Buy … Continue reading Shadows of Doubt (A Kahale and Claude Mystery Series Book 2) By Timothy R. Baldwin
BLOWBACK (Detective “Cadillac” Holland Mystery Series Book 1) by H. Max Hiller
This dynamic start to what I think will be a great series that had me quickly swiping pages.

One of this author's most prominent talents is the development of his characters. They are fully formed people in every aspect and that is reflected his books. This time he outdid himself.

21st Century Pulps Compiled by Scott A. Meehan
In all honesty, I edited this collection. Not just that but I kind of begged for the job. I met Scott at the Indie Book Fest in Orlando last summer.

In my professional life I stay apolitical; however when this book crossed my desk I had to read it. A quick book to read, this author has collected and organized tweets posted by President Trump. As someone who stays on the fringe of social media and politics the amount and quality of tweets was surprising. … Continue reading The Diarrhea Diaries: Trump’s Tweets That Gives Us the Runs by Robert J.

Ming the Merciless by Ralph Rotten
When I saw the author’s tag line on the cover was “Another steaming pile of crap from Ralph Rotten” and since I already read two other piles (books!) from this author, I grabbed this one. While Ralph describes himself as a degenerate asshole, I only see a riveting author who tells brilliant tales. With twists … Continue reading Ming the Merciless by Ralph Rotten
