Bursting into the mystery genre, this PI/New Author has started an intriguing series with an independent female PI. Learning that the author is a “real” PI in New York, put this book at the top of my reading list. With a great main character, Tracey, I was quickly pulled into the PI world and Tracey’s … Continue reading Looking For Laura (A Tracey Marks Mystery) by Ellen Shapiro

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. He told me about his plan to try and make a Pulp anthology, gathering a wide variety of authors. I spoke with Indies United Publishing … Continue reading 21st Century Pulps Compiled by Scott A. Meehan
Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
Having read all of this series, so far (the last book, Five being anxiously anticipated), it is always a joy to return to the land of Jior created by Wendy Anderson. This author has a way of weaving what at the base is a family saga into a love story that crosses all the barriers … Continue reading Iron and the Arrow: Book Four in the Kingdom of Jior Series by Wendy L. Anderson
The Diarrhea Diaries: Trump’s Tweets That Gives Us the Runs by Robert J. Emery
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. Emery
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
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
The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant by Ralph Rotten
A few years ago I met this author at the Tucson Festival of Books and picked up the first book in his Calizona series. I loved the irony, sarcasm, and banter between his characters. So, when I saw he was offering this book as a one-day freebie – I jumped. Once again he showed me … Continue reading The Day Gravity Became Irrelevant by Ralph Rotten
The Wrong Stuff by Guy Thair
This was one of those books where the action is always going, and it is hard to decide where to stop when you need to get on with other things. Hannah Meredith is not your typical hero or adventure gal but that it just what she ends up having to be. The story has a … Continue reading The Wrong Stuff by Guy Thair
The Strange By J. B Murray
Yesterday on Twitter I placed a Dear J. B. Murray note asking him to please include a warning on his book. Not that kind of warning – more along the lines of Readers Beware, please turn off your phone and clear your schedule before reading this – you will not want to be interrupted once … Continue reading The Strange By J. B Murray
