This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

Book 1 of The Dragon Star Chronicles. This little novel is an epic fantasy for middle grade that would appeal to those who enjoyed the How to Train Your Dragon series. The cultural view is more islander vs Nordic but same audience should enjoy this. This book is, like most epic fantasy, an introduction to…

Book 6 of the Spells, Swords, and Stealth. It has been a minute since I read the last one and it took me a bit to remember that there are two parties. There is the regular adventure group and then the NPC group. The story was good, and perhaps the point of this one is…

The finale of the Henry’s Harbor series. I did enjoy the ending to this series. A super fun cast that will be missed far after the end of the book. I loved the final battle. A final showdown of super powers. The final godspell was a very poignant nod to the ideal that made me…

This is book 3 of the 5-minute Sherlock series. This was a fun mystery through a Renaissance Fair. Twists, turns, and some good brawling makes for a great story. Continue to really enjoy the Sherlock Holmes tribute and hope Mr. Hayes will pick it up again and do more adventures. This one leaves the door…

Book 2 of 5-minute Sherlock. This was a fun case with lots of twists and turns. It will leave you guessing until the end. Great elements in this one and a darker presence. Excited to see where case 3 leads us. This one felt more Sherlock Holmes like, with them moving more into their roles…

Book 1 of 5-minute Sherlock. This was a great modern spin on Sherlock Holmes and Watson. A great many nods at the original. If the next two are as good as this one, it will be sad that there are only three. I really enjoyed this one. It is one part spy novel and one…

This is similar in store to CivCEO. However, a lot rougher. Interestingly, the main character is not a “champion” but an elf. I have to admit that while I liked the other novel more, this one has a special place too. This is more war based with an emphasis on mercenaries. The main character does…

As I started this novel, I thought we were headed down an Artemis Fowl clone. So much seemed similar, with even a Project called Artemis and a trip to Ireland. However, it quickly took on a life of its own, with no other true similarities. The main character is quirky in a good way. This…

A wild ride with some old faces and old enemies as well as some new allies. Overall, it will keep your heart pumping the whole way through. Some interesting insights and we get to see one of the Starfallen in action. The plot thickens with an old enemy. A fun read and the series is…

The thrills and crazy battles continue as the progression continues. This one will have you on the edge of your seat right to the end. This one is gives us even more insights as we get more hints on how the system really works. A great second novel follow up and a great cast of…
