Magic, Fantasy, and Steampunk all rolled into one very enjoyable adventure story. I have read other books by this author and he always pulls me in with incredible covers and beautifully laid out interiors of his books. When an author takes this much care, I’m already into the story before the first line. Oh, did … Continue reading The Last Magus: A Clockwork Heart by Mark Piggott

Blue Sail (The Iron Age of Piracy Book One) by Aaron S Gallagher
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. The main character, Piter has a many faceted personality and his second, Gwendolyn – well, let's just say I know who she is … Continue reading Blue Sail (The Iron Age of Piracy Book One) by Aaron S Gallagher
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.

After reading the summary on the back, I was expecting a serious read and it is written like a great drama until you start digesting the words. There are so many … Continue reading Black Iron by Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert
Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
This YA book, like its characters, is a unique mix of several genres. There is a bit of steampunk, adventure, budding romance, sirens, family relationships, and gender identification. I have been spending some time with the young teens in my life, while I was reading this and their responses to certain subplots have been amusing. … Continue reading Our Bloody Pearl by D. N. Bryan
