I had the please of reading this book last month but was waiting for it to be released to not only wish the author a Happy 90th Birthday! But also to tell you how much I enjoyed this book. This is not a pleasure read – it is a necessary read. This non-fiction work was … Continue reading Democracy of Dollars by Richard Jacobs

Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
I have read every book in this series and it just keeps getting better. However, I do have to admit that this was my favorite so far. I would even go so far as to say read it first. The author gives the reader enough backstory that it could be read on its own. However … Continue reading Missing or Dead – A Tracey Marks Mystery #3 by Ellen Shapiro
Midnight Black: Revised and Expanded by R. J. Eastwood
Since I enjoyed this book when it was first published, I was interested to see the changes the author incorporated into this expanded version. The author has definitely taken it to the next level. Fused into the story are ideas and events pulled from headlines during the last few years. The quick paced read is … Continue reading Midnight Black: Revised and Expanded by R. J. Eastwood
Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
In full disclosure, I had the pleasure of editing this book. I edit, beta read, and review many books (over 300 in the last two years). But specific authors and their works stand out – and this one certainly is in that category. The author is writing from a vast knowledge covering a wide variety … Continue reading Void of Power: From The Ashes by Andrew C. Raiford
Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
I had no idea what a Punkhorn was before I started this book. Now – I think I may just avoid them if I ever see them. This was a well-done mystery inside of a mystery with some wonderful subplots and characters. Urban legends are at the heart of this story, and their belief by … Continue reading Welcome to the Punkhorns by Benjamin Bradley
Ulrik by Wendy L. Anderson
I am a fact person, and it takes a lot for me to ‘believe’ when reading any type of Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Time Travel. This author is one of a handful where I can ‘believe’ the story. As is the style of Anderson, you are immediately enmeshed in a beautifully described world and characters. Anderson writes in full … Continue reading Ulrik by Wendy L. Anderson
The Stash by Benjamin Bradley
While the author has labeled this a YA book, it could easily hold its own against adult thrillers. I am very hesitant writing this review because there are some beautiful twists and I know as soon as I say that other readers will spend time looking for the twist instead of just letting themselves be … Continue reading The Stash by Benjamin Bradley
Operation Varsity Blues (A Kahale and Claude Mystery Book 3) by Timothy Baldwin
This is a great mystery series for middle and high schoolers. And frankly, I have also enjoyed it. The author is a teacher who has vast experience with middle school and high school, so he is spot on when it comes to exactly knowing what this reader will enjoy. The series involves four friends who … Continue reading Operation Varsity Blues (A Kahale and Claude Mystery Book 3) by Timothy Baldwin
Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
Perfect for the season! Let me start by saying I previously did not have an issue with spiders – they did their thing, I did mine. Two tarantulas even lived in my game room for many years as pets of my son. Well, after reading this, my opinion has changed. STOMP them all! With realistic … Continue reading Season of the Spider: Copper Book 1 by JB Murray
H2LiftShips Volumes 1 & 2: a tech manual for a future – Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different by Bob Freeman
This a very different kind of book. Think part tech manual, part science fiction, part alternative universe, and part I’m not sure what. I can see someone who is a sci-fi or tech nerd totally enjoying this book. It is well written and has a lot of good parts. Unfortunately for me, it is not … Continue reading H2LiftShips Volumes 1 & 2: a tech manual for a future – Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different by Bob Freeman
