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 115 of The Boxcar Children. This one has the Aldens competing in something they do best, solving a mystery. Plenty of red herrings and suspects, the that never stops the Aldens. This story focused heavily on not giving up. We have hinted at hard work, but normally it is much more pronounced and is…

Book 6 of the Tower series. This book is as innovative and heart-pounding as the last. With twists and turns you do not see coming. Overall the series is strengthened in this unputdownable novel. This is one trust will keep you going right to the end. I love the theme of restoring order and how…

Book 5 of the Tower series. We see Thorn become yet even more powerful. A new powerful foe now opposes Thorn and I like that he is still strong enough to create a struggle. I loved the progress and changes, but do wish that this book had been almost double as there were a lot…

This nonfiction account of an undercover ATF agency who went deep undercover into the notorious Pagan motorcycle club, was raw and gritty. Leading us into a world far from the suburban neighborhoods and into a world of debauchery and violence to shock and astound you. As he worked to take down as much of the…

Book 4 of the Piggy series. This ending does leave opening for continuation but at the same time allows for a satisfying ending. While not my favorite series, I think that is more because of the horror genre than the series itself. I did not care for the final twists as they felt awkward and…

This Catcher in the Rye style book is aimed at the YA audience, but language and content would be a definite warning to younger/sensitive readers. This book “drops the f-bomb” nearly in place of the word “the”. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it definitely is written in such a way that…

Book 2 of Phule’s Company. This book takes the series to a whole new level. Intrigue, bluffs, counter-bluffs and a wonderful villain leave you wanting more. The themes of this book continues on the lines of treating a person how You see they can be, and they will rise above your expectations. I love that…

Drew Hayes characters from his Super Powereds series feature in a series of short stories that leave you as enchanted as the series is. While language and violence still feature they are a fun series of reads perfect for the holidays. I could picture the Halloween story as a video game and am just waiting…

Book 2 of Dungeon Academy. This pushes our heroes a new generation and does a great job of building to the next book. Some puzzles and adventures that are written to be appropriate to any mid grade reader. Fun adventure that is not so heavy on Dungeons & Dragons that one would need to know…

Book 1 of Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Academy. This book is well written and discloses just enough a bit at a time and is the fun view of the world from the monsters vs the adventurers. I love the party and the flaws of this group. The dynamics are perfect. This could be a Netflix…
