Allan Packer’s fantasy saga, The Stone Cycle, has been fascinating. He has done an amazing job of conceptualizing the world in which these stories take place. Each one is so memorable, it doesn’t take much effort to pick up the next, even months later, and understand what has been going […]
Sure. I knew who Ursula was. After all, I’d come to know her in the first two books of the Brides of Hope Mountain series. And somehow she still surprised me. And what probably surprised me the most is how much I enjoyed her. Another surprise was that after the […]
My Thoughts The second book of the Empires of Armageddon series, Persian Betrayal continues Brain Mullaney’s adventures in protecting the US Embassy and the ambassador in Israel. Just as in Ishmael Covenant, it is filled with explosions, intrigue, and treachery. If you have not yet read Ishmael Covenant, be warned […]
I have been thoroughly enjoying the Kyona Chronicles! Downfall of the Curse lets us get to know Lucy better – she is Jon and Scar’s oldest daughter and was introduced in Legacy of the Curse. She is very talented at fighting and is also beautiful – neither of which is […]
What a delightful story! I’ve seen a number of shows and movies that retell the story of Peter Pan. You probably have too. Each has a unique twist on what happened or tell what happens next. Well, you could say that Dust is just one more of many and yet […]

I have really enjoyed following Tannie’s adventures through this series. As the scope of her adventure expands, so […]
From the moment Scarlet and Jonan set foot on Balenol soil, things went from bad to worse. I was caught as much off guard by the events as I imagine Scar and Jo were! With twists and plots and intrigue and deception, Captive’s Return is short but packed with everything […]
The Hanger’s Horsemen series started out with a bang! The four equestrians are a band of ex-cavalry soldiers for hire to right wrongs. These honorable men have a secret, though. They have determined to use their guns but not to kill – whenever possible. When one of the four is […]
In a roundabout way, I saw a review written by Jason C. Joyner. It was very funny. And then saw that he is an author. So I had to look and see what he had written. And found this. . . What a delightfully fun story! When teens with superpowers […]
When I saw this book available for review, I was intrigued. There are not many stories about the Tower of Babel, and especially not for kids. There is high adventure as Bella and her new friend, Zion race to the top of the tower, chased by wolves and an evil […]
Chaney Rose never expected to shake the world. Yet she did just that. Shook the world of a calloused police detective. Of an out-of-work minister. Of a wannabe mobster. She was an enigma, with street smarts and compassion. With a moral compass slightly skewed and yet was there. Her grandfather […]
