Below is a poster I created for my new book, CAGED ANIMALS. Note: when I drew this image I was planning to call the book ALIEN CAGES, but have sinced changed my mind on the title. I’ll give more information on my book in the coming weeks. I’m in the final stages of revisions nowContinue reading “My Next Book – SNEAK PEAK”

My Favorite Middle-Grade Fiction Books of 2019
Because I am the author of two middle-grade fiction books, I have a special interest in seeing quality books from that genre get the attention they deserve. As a book reviewer, I try to spread my book reading time out between my three favorite genres; science fiction, fantasy, and middle-grade fiction. In the past, IContinue reading “My Favorite Middle-Grade Fiction Books of 2019”
My Favorite Fantasy Books of 2019
Of the fantasy novels that I was able to read in 2019, three of them stood out as my favorites. These are the ones I’d recommend for anyone looking for a great book to read in the genre of fantasy. Although I enjoyed all 3 immensely, I’ve ranked them here in order of how muchContinue reading “My Favorite Fantasy Books of 2019”

Now That’s Funny #4 – Mr. Bean Christmas
Mr. Bean might be the last brilliant comedian who also happens to be G-rated. If you haven’t heard of him I encourage you to look him up on YouTube. Everything he does is hilarious. The sketch that I’m sharing below is perfect for the holidays. It includes a rather large turkey plus some awkward ChristmasContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #4 – Mr. Bean Christmas”
Now That’s Funny #3 – Carol Burnett Show
The Carol Burnett Show ran on CBS from 1967 to 1978. For most of the 70’s it aired on Saturday nights at 10pm and it was one of the highlights of my week as a boy. Carol and gang, including Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway, set a new standard for sketch comedy. IContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #3 – Carol Burnett Show”
Metal and Bone – Book Review
Metal and Bone by C.I. Chevron is inspired by the classic story of Cinderella, broadly reinterpreted through a steampunk science fiction lens. The main character is called Ella by the poor oppressed people that she calls her friends while the wealthy aristocrats know her as a mysterious thief named Cinder. She is beautiful and kind,Continue reading “Metal and Bone – Book Review”
Now That’s Funny #2 – Monty Python’s Olympics
This is part 2 in my series of blog posts that highlight some of the great comedy from the past that was not dependent on vulgarities or sexually related humor to be funny. Monty Python is another huge influence on me as far as the kind of humor that I enjoy. When it comes toContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #2 – Monty Python’s Olympics”
Now That’s Funny #1 – SCTV’s Half Wits
Our world today seems to have forgotten how to be funny. Most modern humor on television, streaming services, or movies depends on humor that shocks the viewer into laughing. It’s as if the writers and producers think that only R rated material can be funny. Recently, I heard one director of comedy movies say heContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #1 – SCTV’s Half Wits”
The Line Between – Book Review
The Line Between by Tosca Lee is a one-of-a-kind thriller that takes an end-of-the-world story, unlike any I’ve ever read, and couples it with the incredible story of a young girl who is cast out of a cult. The girl is named Wynter and hers is a fast-paced psychodrama that kept me turning the pagesContinue reading “The Line Between – Book Review”
