THE WAKING DREAMER – J. E. Alexander

There’s a really fine line, when writing stories set in dream worlds with nightmarish denizens and frustrated teens, between well-crafted worlds that make a certain kind of necessary sense even if it’s not obvious to the reader at first, and self-indulgent whimsy that may have made sense to the author upon writing, but doesn’t hold Continue reading

DUNGEONS AND DRAMA – Kristy Boyce

Riley loves musical theatre. After high school she plans to study theatre and ultimately become a director on Broadway. But how is any of that going to happen if she doesn’t get experience now?

THE ADVERSARY – Erin M. Evans

This was one of the oldest books in my TBR-ARC queue – back from the days before I was more careful about not selecting books that were part of a series. This particular book is book number three in The Sundering series which apparently was started by author R.A. Salvatore, and I have not read Continue reading

CRIME NOVELS: FIVE CLASSIC THRILLERS 1961-1964

It’s only in recent years that I’ve developed an interest in reading ‘classic’ pulp fiction, noir thrillers, and detective mysteries. Because I’m new to the genre, I really didn’t have a clue as to which authors I should be checking out – other than Fredric Brown, an author I consider among my favorites due to Continue reading

DANCING ON THE EDGE – Russ Tamblyn

Russ Tamblyn. My guess is that anyone who knows the name likely knows him because of either his phenomenal performance in the original West Side Story movie or, for slightly younger audiences, his work as the off-kilter doctor on the TV series Twin Peaks. I fall primarily into the first group, having grown up admiring his work as Continue reading
