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 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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Book 7 of the Troy Stark series. I loved the heist in this one that kicks the story off. The storyline was very James Bond like. But regardless there are still plenty on sneaking in, shooting, and explosions. This one hits a little close to home as the criminal underworld shifts its sights even as…

Book 8 of the Tower series. This one shows us just how far Thorn and his guild still have to go. You’d think going from the 25th floor to the 10th would be a breeze, but nothing is ever easy and the challenges just get harder and harder for the young titan. I really liked…

Book 1 of the Mistborn series. An epic fantasy novel with a twist on the magic system. The plot is a fairly standard Hero’s Journey. Lots of comparisons could be drawn to Star Wars. Overall, strong characters and an engaging story makes this the well known classic that it is. This is very much epic…

The third in the series of short stories. None of the stories are interrelated but would be great for reluctant readers as the stories are short and would not be intimating as trying to read a full book. All of the stories are classic RL Stine style that have delicious twists at the end. Overall…

A telling by RL Stiene and as such you never know where it will lead you. This is a retelling of a Christmas Carol but even at that it feels fresh and exciting. The master of YA horror even leaves us with a little smile. Overall, this is YA appropriate and while kept short does…
