THE NEWSPAPER GIRL – Colton Balvanz

Many years ago Amazon created something called “Kindle Worlds” which was essentially a legitimate means of publishing fan fiction. The idea was that certain works of fiction were licensed by Amazon so that authors could write fiction in the world(s), and using characters created by the original author. Sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead but… Continue reading

The novel follows Zachareth, first as a young boy living in his father’s castle, Castle Talon. Moving into his teens, Zachareth is like a lot of boys his age – he doesn’t get along with his father, he hates his studies, and, in Zachareth’s case, he doesn’t trust his father’s advisor – the elf Leanna.… Continue reading

BEATLES AND BEACONS – Fran Raya

I recognize that I am a sucker for any book either about the Beatles or about someone’s connection or relationship to (or love of) the Beatles. This doesn’t always serve me well. Beatles and Beacons is a coming of age story for Becca Beacon – a British girl going into her teens just as the… Continue reading

STAR TREK: PICARD’S ACADEMY–COMMIT NO MISTAKES – graphic novel

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

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

NO RETURN – Zachary Jernigan

This book is so … shall we say ‘unique’ … that I find it too difficult to synopsize, so we’ll just let the author/publisher do it. Here is the (edited) description from Goodreads: Under the looming judgment of Adrash and his ultimate weapon—a string of spinning spheres beside the moon known as The Needle—warring factions… Continue reading
