GOLD EXPERIENCE – Jim Walsh
I am not the world’s biggest Prince fan. I was the ‘right’ age (early 20’s) when Prince released the movie Purple Rain and then his album 1999. And being from Minnesota, this shining musical star from my home state was big news and very exciting. But his later music didn’t appeal to me as much. Continue reading

SO WILD A DREAM – Win Blevins
WESTERN WEEK Win Blevins is an author whom I had not heard of before reading this, though that’s likely because my exposure to western fiction has been severely limited. In So Wild a Dream, young man Sam Morgan begins an epic journey. Stealing away on a flatboat he occasions into a series of characters familiar Continue reading

WILD PITCH – A. B. Guthrie, Jr.
WESTERN WEEK THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE When we typically think of ‘western’ fiction, we’re imagining cowboy and wandering soldiers in the 1800’s, exploring a vast, largely unexplored wilderness west of the Mississippi River. A.B. Guthrie Jr.’s Wild Pitch is less a western than it is a mystery set in the American Southwest. I was not Continue reading

UNFORGIVING – Christopher Kenworthy
WESTERN WEEK I love to read and I will read anything and about twenty years ago I discovered that I really enjoy a good western story. I really enjoy traveling to and spending time in the American West. It’s beautiful country, which finally made sense to me as I read the stories of Louis L’Amour Continue reading

HARDCASE – Luke Short
WESTERN WEEK I’ve read a few westerns over the years (likely more than most but less than a true western aficionado) but I believe that this is the first book I’ve read by Luke Short – a name in the western genre that I recognize from my days as a bookseller. This story gets underway Continue reading

GUN FEUD – A. A. Glynn
WESTERN WEEK While I enjoy reading westerns I can’t say that I have read a wide range of authors in the genre. A. A. Glynn is a new name to me and so it was fun to go into this book not knowing what sort of story and characters Glynn would bring. Gun Feud is a Continue reading

CHRISTMAS IN THE LONE STAR STATE – Jason Manning
WESTERN WEEK I’ve been on a bit of a western fiction kick lately (note that this is “western review week”). As I’ve mentioned in other reviews, it’s often difficult to find new western fiction, so it was especially pleasing to come across, and be granted ARC access to Christmas in the Lone Star State by Continue reading

DECELERATE BLUE – graphic novel
Wow. This book really took me by surprise. Is it too hard to imagine a future in which everything is so rushed that even classic literature is abbreviated heavily in order to cram more and more into a day? I don’t think so. Just take a look around at our modern life and we’re already Continue reading

CHARLAINE HARRIS’ GRAVE SURPRISE – graphic novel
When you read a lot of books for review you are always hoping that something like this will come across your desk and just completely take you by surprise. Like many people, I suspect, I am most familiar with author Charlaine Harris through her Sookie Stackhouse series, which was the basis/inspiration for the hit series Continue reading

DRAKE – Peter McLean
Don Drake is a hired killer. He currently owes a sizable debt to a demon and must perform another assassination to get rid of that debt. But things don’t go too well for Don in that assassination attempt. An innocent little boy is killed and the Furies start to pester him. Drake is ‘rescued’ by Trixie, Continue reading

2CREATE – Yoav Litvin
The subtitle of this book is misleading. It reads “Art Collaborations in New York City” which sounded really fascinating to me. But what it really is is graffiti artist collaborations. Still potentially really interesting, but not what I was expecting. Given that this book is about graffiti artist collaborations in New York City, it strikes Continue reading
