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 9 of The Realm Between. This book feels like a builder and as the next book is the current last in the series. There is far too much it feels to conclude in one book. That said this book was more video game than ever as it was mostly running around doing a fetch…

Book 10 of The Good Guys. All preparations for Fiend’s Night. So much going on and a goodbye. This one is a little sad, but about time on the hero’s journey. A fast and furious ride through and a guided tour through Coggeshall. I love that this addresses probably the biggest hurdle in leadership, delegation.…

Book 9 of The Good Guys. This one takes Montana into the thick of it and doing what he does best, killing things. As with most novels of this type, he is far busier than anyone would want to be and that is before he has to go fix a problem in the city. An…

This book really focuses in on the talent that is out there that is overlooked. I love how it brings up that there isn’t an elite lottery that it is more about desire to improve/exceed vs some born in trait that limits potential. Over and over I see things about the Peter Principle. How do…

Book 1 of Artorisn’s Archive series. This one follows and elder who wants nothing more than to protect the young ones of the village. I love that we see the struggle of age. As he plans and works to overcome a myriad of obstacles to effect his rescue attempt and what it really costs him.…

Book 11 of The Completionist Chronicles. This is the concluding book for this part of the series. A wild ride with an excellent end boss. A couple of small items I would have liked Jaxon to”adjust” but overall a solid conclusion to this part of the series and moving us to the new world. Although…

Book 10 of The Completionist Chronicles. I love how he keeps the book interesting even as he shows the hard work and study that go into being great. This is missing in so many books and movies that we all laugh at the montage scene where it is depicted. I also loved the strong goals…

Book 9 of The Completionist Chronicles. The next step and a very cool insight into selfishness and the hidden detriments that go with it. Also, what would a Tower Defense game look like in a novel. Ok. So a little strange with more to follow, but still done in a way that did not make…

Book 8 of The Completionist Chronicles. Strong advancement while losses mount. This book is strongly about boon and bain. It is noted a lot, but I like that every choice has both good and bad repercussions. This is overlooked in a lot of novels. Good twists and betrayals. Overall a great addition and way to…

Book 7 of The Completionist Chronicles. This book takes us in a very unexpected direction. Still lots of crafting and plenty of time in the landfill, but besides that a fun and interesting set of challenges that leaves us on the brink. The story has stayed strong even as you realize that this is a…
