Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
You are young, and want the moon to drink from as a cup of gold. Reaching and straining to catch the moon, you may catch a firefly. But if you grow up you will realise that you cannot have the moon, and would not want it if you could. And you will catch no fireflies.…
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll My rating: 3 of 5 stars I think Lewis Carroll must have been eating some of those magic mushrooms himself. A very strange book that had wonderful characters doing nothing at all. View all my reviews
Here’s a link to the video of an interview I did with KSBI TV on May 18. I sound like I just rode my horse from the crick runnin’ through the back 40. KSBI TV Oklahoma Live interview
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars A fine, dark conclusion to The Hunger Games trilogy, full of political intrigue, back-biting, sacrifice and sadness. I won’t summarize the plot, as that’s been done over and over. Suffice it to say that there’s no cop-out, no punches pulled, and you’ll be emotionally wrung…
Yesterday on Oklahoma Live, broadcast by KSBI TV, I announced who will take on publication of The Werewolf Saga. I’m very proud to say that the Saga’s new home is with Graveside Tales, and I’d like to thank Dale Murphy for adding my books to his excellent line-up. Some details are still being firmed up,…
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars Overall a fantastic continuation of The Hunger Games. The method used to get Katniss and Peeta back into the arena was plausible enough, and we meet some interesting new characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it to the point I had a hard time putting it…
I finally have some new publication news. I guess I’ll list it chronologically, beginning with the one coming first. Little Graveyard on the Prairie will be available by May 31 as an audiobook, narrated by Ted Brooks, published through Audible.com’s ACX program. This will be my first audiobook, which would be exciting enough since I’ve…
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder My rating: 3 of 5 stars The biggest problem with this book was the lack of copy editing. There were a lot of punctuation errors, but more irritating was the fact the wooden staff used in martial arts is spelled “bo”, not “bow” like on a birthday gift. That…
I became hooked on audio books a few years ago because there just isn’t enough time in the day to read everything I want to read. There is, however, a lot of time spent doing pretty mindless, mechanical tasks, like mowing the lawn, washing dishes, driving, etc. That’s when I first signed up with Audible.com.…
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars Most of the students had read this one, and several of my co-workers, and the premise sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. I’m very glad I did! This is the best book I’ve read so far this year. It…
