250 Things You Should Know About Writing
250 Things You Should Know About Writing

Review:Not your ordinary how-to guide at all. Chuck Wendig kept me laughing as he pointed out the numerous pitfalls on the writer's path. Every penmonkey and aspiring penmonkey should read this, even if you've already read a thousand guides for writers -- the hilarious asides and examples are moca-fudge frosting on a big old chocolate cake of good advice.

Note: There is a bit of bad language, so if you can't stand curse words... well, you'll be missing out. Read more

Winterfair Gifts (Vorkosigan Saga)
Winterfair Gifts (Vorkosigan Saga)

Review:Why can’t this series have better covers? I know accuracies are never true to books (or at least they’re dang rare) but come on! His height! Eugh.

Anyway. Told from Roic’s point of view (one of the lesser ranked staff in Vorkosigan house), we see guests and distant family return to Barrayar for the wedding between spoilers. You know whom. One of those who returns is Taura who is already getting on in her years, and we see more of her than most of the other characters. It would have also b... Read more

Walt Longmire Christmas Stories (A Penguin Special) (Walt Longmire Mysteries)
Walt Longmire Christmas Stories (A Penguin Special) (Walt Longmire Mysteries)

Review:I watched the TV show Longmire and became hooked because of the exceptional cast of characters. After reading "Christmas in Abaroka County", I now realize the author, Craig Johnson created those characters. I enjoyed these stories. Read more

A Walt Longmire Story (A Penguin Special from Viking) (Walt Longmire Mysteries)
A Walt Longmire Story (A Penguin Special from Viking) (Walt Longmire Mysteries)

Review:Great little story. Adds even more dimension to three primary characters in the series as well as being downright entertaining. And just unlikely enough to have actually happened! (It sounds like a story I'd hear at a family reunion.)
As always, can't wait for the next one. Read more

Divorce Horse (Walt Longmire Mysteries)
Divorce Horse (Walt Longmire Mysteries)

Review:Thanks to A & E, I have discovered Longmire. The only complaint I have about "Divorce Horse" is that it is too short! I've kept Amazon busy as I devoured the whole series by Craig Johnson; please let there be another book soon! The hero is a terriffic mix of intelligence, integrity, humor, and strength. That he is also a modest man whose best friend is a Native American exspecial-ops shaman/tavern keeper, whose daughter went back East to become a lawyer, and whose young female deputy is a...

A Bit of Bite
A Bit of Bite

Review:I fell in love with the story and characters immediately. I only have one complaint and that was that I wanted MORE! I read this in less than two hours and it went by like ten minutes. Great plot, pacing, character development and structure. Read more

A Paranormal Suspense Story (Imprints Book 0) - First Touch

Review:Very entertaining book! Likable characters and story. Are there really people with this ability? I just wish the book was longer! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I think anyone from teens to adults would like this book. Read more

A Highlander Short & Series Introduction (The Ghosts of Culloden Moor Book 1)
A Highlander Short & Series Introduction (The Ghosts of Culloden Moor Book 1)

Review:Brilliant! The author's talent was obvious from the very start of this introduction to the series. Her words transported me back to Scotland and I couldn't be more grateful and happy to find such a talented storyteller and compelling series of stories to read. Read more

Shifter Made (Shifters Unbound)
Shifter Made (Shifters Unbound)

Review:"Shifter Made" which was previously published in the Mammoth Book of Irish Romance (this review is a a reincarnated version of my review from that anthology) is a short little prequel to Ashley's Shifters Unbound series. Set back in time and in Ireland, Shifter Niall, who is an ancestor to the leads in the Primal Bonds and Pride M... Read more
