Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Beowulf by Burton Raffel My rating: 4 of 5 stars I love Beowulf. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve read it over the years I’ve taught senior English. I like it so much, though, that I almost always read it myself rather than letting the kids butcher it. It gets four instead…
I went to a wedding today. It was my third wedding this year, the second that did not involve blood relation. It was also the second to involve my former students. Sitting there watching the bride as she zipped fingers across her eyebrows to push her hair aside just like she used to do in…
Last weekend I went to H&H Shooting Sports and bought myself a new pistol. I did some research beforehand, then looked over the top options at the store and went with my first choice, a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. Today I went back and spent some time on the range shooting the gun. I…
The Son by Philipp Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars Given time I may have to upgrade this one to a 5-star review. It was an amazing read and the only reason I’m going with four stars right now is because, in my mind, two of the narrators got more attention than they deserved.…

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh my gosh. This book was amazing. I came at it with some trepidation, expecting one of those heavy-handed anti-man, anti-white books that liberal professors like to assign to promote white guilt. Don’t get me wrong, this is very much…
Last week I posted the Prologue to my new novel, Amara’s Prayer, which will be released in August by Bad Moon Books. It will be available in trade paperback and e-book formats, plus a limited edition signed hardcover that will be available IF there are enough pre-orders for it. Time is running out very fast on…
