It’s my birthday weekend, so here’s a gift for you! I recently added a new Part 3 onto the end of “The Eighth” (Intro to the Alt-World Chronicles). This little scene, tacked onto the end of the previously existing short story, gives a brand new perspective on events from Roman’sContinue Reading
Book 4 of “The Alt-World Chronicles” is finally here! This is a kind of spinoff/sequel and follows Piper, Dax, and Max as they continue the war against the destroyer gods. See more about the book and where it’s available HERE Also, for a limited time, the ebooks for Books 1-3Continue Reading
With “The Fairy Master Capturi” coming out early this summer, I’m reviving my ARC Team for The Alt-World Chronicles. If you’re interested in reading any (or all) of the books in this series — with the understanding that you will then write honest reviews to help me promote the booksContinue Reading
For those of you who follow me on social media (Facebook and Instagram), you might’ve seen the new covers I created for the prequel and the first 3 books in the series. I did this largely because I lost the artwork for the previous covers and needed to make aContinue Reading
I can’t believe it has been 20 years since I finished the main books for The Kota Series! In reality, this series started when I was 9 years old, back when my mom suggested I write a story about the “game” we played every day as kids. (I’m not goingContinue Reading
I first read “Creepy Sheen” from this author and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, and this collection was a great follow-up, full of fresh, creative, somewhat insane ideas. I think I laughed almost as much as I cringed. A turducken come to life? That’s only theContinue Reading
I loved everything about this book and read it in about two sittings. The main character is written so well that you feel like you know him personally, and he’s by no means a perfect character but rather a relatable human with complex emotions, thoughts, flaws, and a history thatContinue Reading
Have I read pretty much everything this author has put out? Yes, yes, I have. And once again, I was not disappointed with this short story collection. These are fun – albeit spooky and disturbing – horror stories that are unique and always, always leave me wanting more. Demmer isContinue Reading
“The Crown of Stones” is one of my favorite fantasy trilogies of all time. I have MISSED this world, so I was glad to find out that the author wasn’t done with it yet either. Always a fan of a good origin story, I had high hopes for “Troy” andContinue Reading
“Her Heart Beats for Ancient Beasts” is a collection of stories that each drew me in right away. It takes talent to make a short story both grip you from the start and also leave you hooked at the end, wondering about the story long after you’ve moved to theContinue Reading
I seem to be reading and reviewing mostly horror lately, but this collection stood out and did not disappoint. I always enjoy horror that focuses on the inner demons of its characters rather than simply external monsters and gore. Each of these thirteen stories comes at these inner demons slightlyContinue Reading
I loved this quick and suspenseful story. It was great to see a unique deviation from typical zombie storytelling in that this story is from the monster’s perspective – not something you often see with these “mindless” walking corpses. Everything in the beginning was vague, but you very quickly getContinue Reading
An orphaned girl, powerless and destitute. An Endless War, that threatens to consume everyone in its path. Magic amulets, that hold the promise of victory. After Damira witnesses the brutal slaughter of nearly her entire clan by a roving warband, she resolves never to feel helpless again. With nowhere toContinue Reading
In a word: Gripping. Here’s yet another story from this author that made me want to read an entire novel about the main character. In just a few short pages, Demmer tells the story of a man with a far more interesting past than anyone suspects, a man both cursedContinue Reading
I cannot say enough about this book. I can’t pick a favorite story from this collection. I can’t wait for more from this author. He and these stories are just that good. “Peel Back and See” is a perfect title to encapsulate these 16 stories. In each one, the charactersContinue Reading
