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

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

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

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

The best review I can give of this book is to tell you the progression of what I thought as I read along: “Oh, no. Another book with a young woman sorting out her faith versus an Islamic terrorist kid. Guess I know what this is going to be like.”Continue Reading

An epic-length book, this story is filled with fantastical lands, intriguing characters, and a complex history of kingdoms and gods. I really enjoyed the vivid imagery and excellent characterization of both the heroes and villains. The plot itself builds and draws you in as you begin to understand how everythingContinue Reading

Stuck in isolation and looking for books? I’m following the lead of many other authors and have made “THE ALT-WORLD CHRONICLES” free for the rest of the week! Stay safe, folks.Continue Reading
