It’s time for another author to step into my confessions booth. Today Ulff Lehmann, author of the novel Shattered Dreams, has volunteered to bare his soul to everyone. Judge him harshly! The first documented story of yours truly is well over 30 years old. And my mother kept it. I wrote it in 5th grade,…
Hello again, sinners and heretics. This week I have guest author M.L. Spencer stepping into the confessions booth to entertain beg forgiveness from you all. And as an added bonus, her books are currently on sale, so go buy some! When I was a kid, I used to use an audio tape recorder to record…
This is my new weekly blog spot where I invite a fantasy author over to confess to everyone their sins. It’s a new thing so for my first confession slot I will be the Heretic! Feel free to judge me. When I was younger so much younger than today… I wrote Star Wars fan…
Winter’s Reach is the first book in the Revanche Cycle by Craig Schaefer. It is also one of the #SPFBO 2017(Self Published Fantasy Blog Off) contestants in Fantasy Book Review’s group… that is to say, in the same group as Where Loyalties Lie. That’s right! I’m checking out my direct competition, but I do so…
This is going to be a weird one to review. I’ll start with the TL;DR version. I LOVED THIS BOOK! This what the new Fitz book I’d been looking forward to. Now, don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed Fool’s Assassin, but on some levels it really didn’t work for me. The first book in…
This will be a short blog post to emphasize the importance of taking a short creative break from time to time. Yesterday I finished part 2 of the book I’m writing and started part 3. The words had been flowing smoothly and then I stopped. I titled my new chapter “What happens next?”, and I…
So this post is just going to serve as a how things are going and what to expect from me in the near future. Because I’m writing… A LOT! All my books are now back under my control. I am once again completely self published! I feel there should be some fireworks here. OK, I…
Where to start with this book? For those familiar with Robin Hobb’s Fitz books, this will need no introduction. It’s the 3rd series of books featuring our boy Fitz, and the emotional rollercoster he keeps dragging us on. For anyone not familiar with the character, you should really go back and read Assassin’s Apprentice… and…
Arm of the Sphinx is the 2nd book in Josiah Bancroft’s Books of Babel series, following fairly directly from Senlin Ascends. Our main character, still very much on the hunt for his missing wife (now absent for over a year), is no longer the uptight Niles Crane he once was; his adventures have changed…
First things first. I was given an Advance Reader Copy of Faithless in exchange for an honest review. I’m very grateful to Graham for allowing me to read his book before it has released. Faithless follows along behind two protagonists, Wynn and Kharios, as they struggle through life in a giant colonised mine, as well…
