If you have been following along for a while, you know how much I enjoy a collection of short stories. It always gives me pleasure to find gems and new authors. Once again I was not disappointed. This collection was supposed to be centered around the 2020 Olympic games but we all know what a … Continue reading The Phantom Games: Dimension Unknown 2020

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
A Promise of Return (The Outlands Pentalogy Book 3) By Rebecca Crunden
I have read the first two books in this series and while I enjoyed them, I see a difference in this book. Whether it is the seasoning of the author or just that I enjoy the character Thom more than his brother or Kitty, this book was a step above the first two. This series/author … Continue reading A Promise of Return (The Outlands Pentalogy Book 3) By Rebecca Crunden
Void of Power: New Generation by Andrew C. Raiford
This book seriously made me want to change my name to Jennifer! Every character in this story is a fully developed person that I could easily have as a friend or neighbor. For a first time fiction author, this book was a very pleasant surprise in story development and keeping me intrigued. With two strong … Continue reading Void of Power: New Generation by Andrew C. Raiford
A History of Madness The Outlands Pentalogy Book 2 by Rebecca Crunden
The main characters Nate and Kitty, are once again strong in this continuing tale. However, this book concentrates on Nate. I really liked the tie in with Nate’s dreams (and I’m leaving it there – no spoiler – read the book!). This author does a nice job of engaging the reader in the adventure and … Continue reading A History of Madness The Outlands Pentalogy Book 2 by Rebecca Crunden
A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy) By Rebecca Crunden
This dystopian read is an immersion book. By that, I mean that you need to invest a little time, especially at the beginning, to get an understanding of the characters and their environment before you can become invested in where the story is taking you. Once you accomplish that, the rest of the read is … Continue reading A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy) By Rebecca Crunden
The Golden Viper – The Crimson Deathbringer Trilogy – Book Two by Sean Robins
A brief four months have passed since the ending of Book One. This book was a nice segway into an all-encompassing battle. The characters have remained intriguing and snarky. Keeping with the Space Opera feel the author still led us into an environment with a lot more variety in creatures, some who are … Continue reading The Golden Viper – The Crimson Deathbringer Trilogy – Book Two by Sean Robins
The Girl With Two Souls (Factory Girl Trilogy Book 1) By Stephen Palmer
The first book in this Trilogy gives the reader a firm foundation on the life of Kora/Roka Blackmore. With a nice sprinkling of steampunk accents, I found my self alternating between enjoying the story of the main character and that of the automatas (and thinking of all the great ways I could use an AutoJennie!). … Continue reading The Girl With Two Souls (Factory Girl Trilogy Book 1) By Stephen Palmer
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
