BREAK SHOT: MY FIRST 21 YEARS – James Taylor
Having been a fan of James Taylor’s music for many, many years, I knew a small but fair bit about him. I was delighted to see this autobiography available from Audible so that I could learn more, and to hear it from him directly. Taylor’s narrative jumps back and forth in time and you really Continue reading

THE HOUSE THAT VANITY BUILT – Nancy Cole Silverman
Somehow I missed that Nancy Cole Silverman had started a new series, which is really too bad because I had grown to really enjoy her Carol Childs Mysteries series. The House that Vanity Built is the second book in Silverman’s new Misty Dawn Mystery series. Misty Dawn is a psychic. She once worked in Hollywood Continue reading

ELIZABETHAN COMEDIES – anthology
Anyone who knows me personally knows I have an interest in theatre. Working in theatre is how I spent the better part of my professional career. And ever since my college days, I’ve loved reading classical theatre (though I would have to say the ancient Roman plays have appealed to me the most). When I Continue reading

SIXTEENTH WATCH – Myke Cole
Military science fiction certainly has a long history. I grew up reading the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet series, and Isaac Asimov’s (as Paul French) David Starr, Space Ranger books, Robert Heinlein, and then the military sci-fi of Jerry Pournelle in the 1970’s. Despite this background, I would not consider myself a fan of the military Continue reading

So of course humans have hunted the Bala nearly into extinction. It’s pretty hard to hunt something to extinction when it can practically resurrect itself with Continue reading

Not too long ago I read a book by a different author and I talked about it being a good hard-boiled detective story with a tough, intelligent PI. That got me thinking about my favorite tough-guy series … Spenser. It’s been 30 years since I read a Spenser novel I think (about the last time Continue reading
