Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss My rating: 5 of 5 stars Audible.com is giving away the Walter Matthau-read audiobook for a limited time. (http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B00ALYCA9O) Naturally I grabbed it and had to listen to one of my all-time favorite Christmas stories. Dr. Seuss was a genius and this is one of his masterpieces,…
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien My rating: 5 of 5 stars This isn’t a review. Re-reading the book for the first time in about 17 years takes me back to the days when I was a teenager, before I could drive and I either walked or rode a bicycle everywhere. It was…
If you’re a reader of Publisher’s Weekly, be sure to watch for an announcement this week concerning a new collaboration between me and Carrie Jones, plus even more books from Carrie. I can’t say anything more now, but once the announcement hits I’ll come back and provide some details.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien My rating: 5 of 5 stars There just aren’t words for this book. Not only is it a classic, a timeless adventure, an excellent story, but it is so packed with nostalgia for me that I couldn’t give it less than five stars. This was one of those threshold books…

Nordic Gods and Heroes by Padraic Colum My rating: 4 of 5 stars I talked our school district into ordering this book for my Mythology class. I certainly haven’t regretted it. We spend the second quarter of the semester class studying Norse mythology. This book is very accessible, even to the students who are dumped…
I am Legend and Other Stories by Richard Matheson My rating: 4 of 5 stars The book is a little slow in the middle, but overall it’s an excellent read. If all you know of the story is the Will Smith movie, you don’t know anything! Pick this up and read it. Be ready for…
If you’re like me, you know there’s nothing worse than the sound of your own voice being played back to you. Nonetheless, I offer you this interview of me by Rick Hipson for his Dark Bites site. Put on your boots, pull up a cow pie, and try not to laugh too hard at the…
For those who don’t know, about a year ago I went through the incredibly easy process of becoming an ordained minister through Universal Life Church, and followed it up by registering with the State of Oklahoma so that I can actually perform weddings (and baptisms and funeral services). So far, though, I haven’t conducted a…
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m not sure what I can say about this book that hasn’t been said already. This book has everything fantasy readers want — epic proportions, sword fights, wars, political intrigue, dragons, family drama and, oh yeah, freakin’ zombies, or something close…
