Great review for River City

River City Review - Lou Sylver

Just got a sumptuous review of “River City” from Lou Sylvre… Why did it take me so long to get through this book? And why did I think about it frequently when I wasn’t reading it? And why did I know I ultimately needed to read to the end? These are the questions I had to ask myself, because it literally took me months to read, and while it’s by no means a short book, it’s not that long. Seriously. So here’s the answer to question 1: I’ve become a lazy reader. This book offers a lot, but it doesn’t … Read more

REVIEW: The Shoreless Sea

O.E. Tearmann review The Shoreless Sea

Just got a fricking amazing review for “The Shoreless Sea” from O.E. Tearmann: “In the spirit of great works like the Mars series, Bradbury’s explorations and the Long Earth, this is one of those stories that makes the alien tangible, and forces us to ask why we saw it as so alien to begin with. And once we’ve asked that, we’re invited to ask ourselves: if we can find humanity in the Other, can’t we find it in our fellow humans?… This series buoyed me up, raised my spirits and left me looking towards tomorrow with resolve. I can give … Read more

REVIEW: The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide Review - PRG

Just got at great review of “The Rising Tide” from Xanthe at the Paranormal Romance Guild: The Rising Tide is packed with emotion, strong bonds and relationships that develop through the parts of the book, and the plot is, again, an amazing feat of imagination. A living world by itself that has so many working parts to consider but then throw in characters and a story that has to keep you engaged and interested throughout, it’s fantastic from the author.

REVIEW: The Shoreless Sea

The Shoreless Sea

Anne Barwell reviewed “The Shoreless Sea”: “As with all the books I’ve read by this author, the world building is fabulous, and well thought out… The plot kept me turning pages, and I particularly liked the strong connection to the history of Forever… This story reminds me of why I enjoy science fiction, and I found it a very satisfying ending to a great series. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy detailed world building, and fabulous layered characters. 5 out of 5 stars.” Have you read it yet?

POINT OF VIEW: Getting a Little Perspective

Oh how pride goeth before the fall. Sometimes when you think you have this whole writer gig figured out, life steps in to give you a hard slap across the cheek. A few weeks ago, I ran across a review that was so negative it might have stopped my nascent writing career in its tracks if I had seen it when it was first published, back in 2015. I patted myself on the back for being so much more evolved these days, both in writing skill and in my reaction to my sometimes bad reviews. I’d even half-convinced myself that … Read more

REVIEW: Skythane – O.E. Tearmann

Skythane

O.E. Tearmann just gave Skythane an AMAZING review. As a reader, you feel a lot like Jameson does stepping off the shuttle: you’re entering a whole new world, but it doesn’t take long to sweep you up in its events. You won’t get answers to every question you ask, but you will get an awful lot of beautiful scenery, some amazing moments and a boots-on-the-ground understanding of this universe that slowly unfolds around you. The layered and delicately nuanced cultures and the interactions between them are a delight to behold. Each culture and the people it shapes have their own … Read more

REVIEW: Stasis, by Kim Fielding

Stasis

Title: Stasis Series: Ennek Series Author: Kim Fielding Genre: Fantasy LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Publisher: DSP Publications Pages: 204 Reviewer: J. Scott Coatsworth Get It On Amazon About The Book Ennek Trilogy: Book One Praesidium is the most prosperous city-state in the world, due not only to its location at the mouth of a great bay but also to its strict laws, stringently enforced. Ordinary criminals become bond-slaves, but the worst punishment—to be suspended in a dreamless frozen state known as Stasis—is doled out by the wizard and reserved for only the most serious of traitors.  Ennek is the youngest son … Read more
