Book Review: “American Ulysses” by Ronald White

If you still didn’t know yet, Ulysses Grant is my favorite American in history. Why exactly? Probably because of the raw deal that this great man has received in our history books. In a rare case of history being written by the vanquished, former Confederates or their descendants swarmed academia in the late 19th and …

I’m Querying Again!

As of yesterday, I’ve officially sent out the first of many querying emails for Creed: Mandate of Heaven. I’m very excited to be doing this again, and I hope to actually get some full manuscript requests this time (if you’re an agent reading this I promise you won’t be disappointed if you request the full …

Book Review: “Star Wars: Republic Commando”

Apparently it’s Star Wars Day, so I decided to repost an old review of the only Star Wars book I’ve read. I hope you enjoy my review, and May the Fourth be with you! For today’s book review, I’m listing the first and only Star Wars book I’ve ever read. It was phenomenal! If the …

Book Review: “The Directorate” by Berthold Gambrel

The Directorate by Berthold Gambrel is available here for just 99 cents. I highly recommend this one, read on to find out why! Sci-fi isn’t usually my preferred genre, but this one was really good! In the 23rd century humans have not only colonized Mars and the Moon but built thriving civilizations. As one may …

“Zach: Last Light”

Well, I did it! I’ve set up an account on Kindle Vella, a new reading app from Amazon that allows you to read serialized stories one ‘episode’ at a time, and I’ve officially uploaded the first episode 😃 It will go live on Friday. For those of you who’ve read His Name Was Zach this …

Book Review: “Incidentia MMX” by Clive Hawkswook

“Once there Frank opened a new file.  He entitled it Incidentia MMX – Emily Frost. Then he began typing up everything that he had learned so far. Including that Luis Cruz had no memory of dying on the night of the fire.” Damn, now that’s how you start a book. Frank Kingdom is a man …

Book Review: “The Curse of the Spider-riders” by M. Dane

The author of this one reached out to me via Goodreads and asked if I would review this book. Normally that’d be a bit irritating coming from someone I don’t really know, but for some reason I agreed. It’s a children’s fantasy book, not really my usual read but I ended up really enjoying it! …

It’s Finished!

I honestly can’t remember when I started, sometime last summer I believe, but my first draft of Creed: Mandate of Heaven is done! It clocks in at a relatively light 75,550 words. That’s about smackdab in the middle of the golden zone for book lengths, so I’m told. But compared to my His Name Was …

Book Review: The Rhythms of War (Stormlight Archive #4)

Hoo boy, do I have thoughts about this one. First of all, I have loved the Stormlight Archive series so far. Everything about it, the world building, the story, the characters, the suspense and mystery, all of it. But 4 books, 4500 pages, and 1.6 million words into it…it’s getting really stale. ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** The …

Book Review: The Chronicles of Narnia

Last year, I ended up reading all the books in The Chronicles of Narnia to my daughter. I’d never read these growing up, though I did see the two movies they made (spoiler alert: I didn’t like the movies too much). But I figured the books would be better. I was wrong, unfortunately. My main …
