NOBLE VOL. 1 – graphic novel
It is difficult to stand out in a market that has seen an explosion of titles. The graphic novel market has really grown in the past few years and I’ve seen a lot of titles, authors, and publishers trying to male their way here. I’ve also discovered that I tend to enjoy some of the… Continue reading

THE CHILBURY LADIES’ CHOIR – Jennifer Ryan
The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir is a stunning, beautiful historical fiction novel. With the men of England off to war – a war that is too often seen near their own homes – the women of Chilbury defy a local Vicar’s decree that the church choir should be silenced until the men return and instead use… Continue reading

DAWN IN DAMNATION – Clark Casey
Well this was just a heck of a lot of fun. “Damnation,” is a lot like what the Christian church-goers might refer to as “Purgatory” – that place in-between the land of the living and either heaven or hell. But with a twist. Those arriving in Damnation have a past that’s checkered with some foul… Continue reading

DARKCHYLDE: THE ARIEL CHYLDE SAGA – R. Queen
I enjoy a good horror/dark fiction read and I will be honest – I was drawn to this book because of this beautiful cover that promises so much beauty and imagination in darkness. The book is set in a world first developed by the same author as a comic book series (a ‘hit’ comic book… Continue reading

ALICE AND THE ASSASSIN – R. J. Koreto
President Theodore Roosevelt reportedly once said, “I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both” in regards to his daughter and history has painted her as a bit rebellious and rambunctious. Author R.J. Koreto also paints her as curious in the mystery, Alice and the Assassin.… Continue reading

MANITOU CANYON – William Kent Krueger
Manitou Canyon is the 15th book in the Cork O’Connor mystery series. You don’t get to fifteen books in a series if there isn’t something engaging and powerful about the characters and/or the stories. I’ve only previously read the first two books in the series – just enough to give me a taste of the… Continue reading

FOUR OF THE THREE MUSKETEERS – Robert S. Bader
Wow. Just … wow. Robert S. Bader has done an incredible amount of research into the early days – the vaudeville and live stage performance days – of the Marx Brothers and shares it with the rest of us in the tremendous book, Four of the Three Musketeers. Bader brings us in to the home… Continue reading

ZVR: DIPLOMACY – Jeff Conner, editor
This book, ZVR (which stands for Zombies VS. Robots): Diplomacy is a collection of zombie/robot stories based on a comic book/graphic novel series under the ZVR title. I’ll be honest … when I requested this, seeing the publisher/distributor of IDW, I thought that this would be a graphic novel rather than a collection of short… Continue reading

FIELDS WHERE THEY LAY – Timothy Hallinan
This is book number six in a “Junior Bender Mystery” series. I have not read any of the other books in the series and because of that I think I was a bit lost right from the start. Junior Bender is a bit of a detective – but not for the good guys. He’s a… Continue reading

THE IRON GHOST – Jen Williams
Jen Williams’ The Iron Ghost is the much-anticipated (by many) follow-up to The Copper Cat. It is a sequel only in that it includes most of the same characters, in the same world, though it doesn’t necessarily follow-up on an ‘unfinished’ story. This is a good thing. This could be read as a stand-alone novel,… Continue reading

DR POTTER’S MEDICINE SHOW – Eric Scott Fischl
Alchemy seems to be in fashion. This is the third book in about as many weeks that I have read with alchemy taking a prominent place in the story. Alexander Potter was a Civil War doctor who has gone above and beyond the normal atrocities that doctors were noted for during the Civil War (that… Continue reading
