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.

This nonfiction book focuses on motivational factors and how those factors can help motive a team you may be managing. A lot of the techniques and ideas are sound and leave us nodding all while the crux of the management problem continues, which is that the manager is too busy with office work to effectively…

Book 1 of The Terminal List series. This gritty thriller gives a great balance between technical military and action packed conspiracy. Fast-paced near misses at every turn. There is language as you would expect, but it is kept limited and I feel kept a good balance, if unrealistic, between reality and sensitivity of the audience.…

This was the Hollywood Theater of the Early Version. It was well done and leaves you with the creepy feeling that could only come from such despicable people. The storyline is well done and all of the characters fit the bill well. A wonderful example of the deepest horrors that could be committed. Hope you…

Book 2 of the Artemis Fowl Twins series. This is a fun second novel. The story is very reminiscent of the original Artemis Fowl series. I have enjoyed the series and this one finally took us a new way. If you enjoy fast thinking and fast acting then you’ll enjoy this. Looking forward to book…

Book 1 of the spinoff trilogy based on the popular Artemis Fowl series. This has a new cast of characters and new villains, but overall it is the same action packed story and any of the previous. I am hoping to grow to love these characters, but overall it just has the feel of a…

Book 8 of Artemis Fowl. This final book in the series is full of earth-ending destruction and peril. Fast-paced and unthinkable odds and all that you’ve come to expect. I was a little let down by the series ending as I really would have liked the hinted at ending at least promised. Maybe it will…

Book 7 of the Artemis Fowl series. This one is a while new direction for the series. Oh the world isn’t in peril but definitely Artemis is. I love that this is a look at mental disabilities. It also was great to see a different villain. What I am excited to see is if the…

A classic novel that hits hard even being as short as it is. A definition of great things coming in small packages. The metaphors and various imagery stays with you long after the end of this short tale. If you’ve never read it, it is time. Pick this one up.

Book 6 of the Artemis Fowl series. This was an exciting romp through time and almost a continuation of the previous book in a way. The twist on this one was fantastic and totally to the story a different way. Magnificently done. If you’re ready strap in to the fast-paced adventure with maybe a hint…

Book 5 of Artemis Fowl. This is a real in-depth look at demons and how they relate in the Artemis Fowl universe. Lots of madmen and plenty of danger as the boy genius saves the world yet again. This series stays strong with this latest installment. Strap in and be prepared for fast-paced action.
