Following the last post where I celebrated a (rather dubious) review of Murder In Absentia, this weekend was graced by two great reviews. The first from TJ Green: I’d heard lots of good things about this book, and I’m pleased to say I was not disappointed! This book is a detective story set in ancient Rome, […]

Book Review: Eno and the Pirates
If you’re reading this blog, you probably figured out that I have a thing for Historical-Fantasy Mysteries. No big surprises, really. So when I came across CB Pratt’s Eno and the Pirates, I was immediately excited! Another historical-fantasy hero from the ancient world. Since I had a cold and was not in the mood for writing, […]

Review of Dan Buri’s Pieces Like Pottery

It had the unfortunate effect of making my to-read list even longer, but the benefits of reading some incredible works far outweigh this. One such author is Dan Buri. We connected through social media, chatted, and had found a common language even though our […]
