  • Law of the Jungle Book 2

    This is the second book in the Wuxia Progression series. The apprentices finish up their initial training in this one. But, not without a lot of passion and suffering. Interesting concept of their lives being directed by an unseen force along with a responsibility to act when we find ourselves in an unexpected situation or…

  • Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Making Enemies

    Book 4 of this series. This time there is an offended elf ready to dual Loki to the death. Can Loki find a way out? This one actually shows Loki with true growth making me curious as to the direction of the new book, especially with the teaser at the end. Aside from that there…

  • Law of the Jungle Book 1

    The first book in the Wuxia Progression series. We follow a young nobody from nowhere as he is abused into becoming what we feel will be a master. That said, it is an interesting start to a14 book series. The cultivation progression seems pretty straightforward. What I did like was that there is not an…

  • Stinetinglers 4

    This set is not just short stories but 3 novellas. I like that all three are same town and crossover with people. The three stories are significantly different but play well in the Goosebumps universe. These middle grade books are fun with just a small touch of horror that continues to drive this series forward.…

  • A Song of Shadow

    Book 2 of The Bard of Barliona series. This concludes the series and was an interesting story. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this story. That said it was a collaboration and so not the same as his solo books. The story was good but there it is best this stayed a small series. Overall,…

  • The Renegades

    Book 1 of The Bard from Barliona series. This is an interesting twist on the bard role. This two book series is coauthored and well needed as the heroine has a very authentic feel. This series has a familiar feel as it is similar to his Shaman series in Game Mechanics, however I like the…

  • A Check for a Billion

    Book 3 of the Galactogon series. This is the finale to the series and was a wild ride. Betrayal, deals, and double deals along with sacrifices and pure grit to finish off this task. I like that it leaves room for another series. We get to see all of our friends, enemies, and frenemies and…

  • In Search of the Uldans

    Book 2 of the Galactogan series. This one is a strong builder for the conclusion. The looming threat, I loved the asides about the way the game company is doing things to generate profit, continues as this unknown foe continues to sweep the galaxy. Can they be stopped? The surprising twists in the very end…

  • Start The Game

    Book 1 of the Galactogon series. This LitRPG is the first I have read that is Sci-Fi. That said I enjoyed it immensely. This is similar to his Shaman series in the non-standard way the game is being played allowing for a different outcomes that no one expects or thinks possible. Lots of fighting and…

  • Damnation Alley

    This post apocalyptic novel set in the United States takes us on a gruesome ride from Los Angeles to Boston. The ride harkens to something Stephen King-ish in the terrible circumstances and pain endured. For a novel of this age, only a few phrases stick out albeit that it definitely has 1960s undertones. A short…
