Rod Fisher

I always loved to read but could never find the time for writing while pursuing varying careers in music, art, journalism...even property management. But now, as a retired geezer, I have time to actually read all those great authors that I had to skim through in college. Their legacy has inspired me to peck away creatively at the computer. I live in Whitefish, Montana, in a century-old log house. No dogs. No cats. Just a rarely used sailboat and a faithful Honda. If you enjoyed one of my books, please leave a review. Hell, leave one if you hated it. A little criticism is good for the ego.

  Very enjoyable read. I went away wondering if there really was a Fial McMurrin whose career was the basis for the book. So I googled it. You'll have to do the same if you want to know.

  Molloy knows his ships and the routines aboard. The book follows the hit and run antics of the British navy's torpedo boats and marines. There is plenty of unexpected action while the scenes and conversation define the human side of a tar's life in WWII. I like a story that teaches as it entertains. This is one.
  
• A Singular Captain on June 27, 2015
  
  This is a great read of Magellan's voyage as seen through the eyes of Pigafetta, his personal assistant. Too often men like Magellan who have made a profound impact on the history and discovery of the world are denigrated by revisionist historians who dwell on their mistakes and weaknesses. But when the world was a mystery it took rare exceptional personalities to lead others into the unknown. Magellan and Columbus had faults but they had a singular unwavering purpose and never faltered in accomplishing it. This account of Magellan's voyage doesn't judge him by our modern cultural standards but places him in the proper context of the 16th century. Well done Mr. Regan.

  I'm glad someone still writes about those "Knights of the SkY". It's a fun and quick read.
  
• The Actuary on Nov. 21, 2015
  
  This book is well-written. It has an interesting plot. But I lost interest about two-thirds of the way through. I thought it was going to be a suspense/thriller. It could be if the soap opera romance elements were curtailed. I got tired of reading about the muscular biceps and the handsome profile. The heroine's blazing hormones seem to suffuse, quiver, chill, etc., in nympho frequency. She has a secret she needs to get out, but every time she's ready to confess the phone rings, there's someone at the door, or something else interferes. That gets a little over-used. And, although I read most of the book, I still have no idea what the "actuary" really does that makes his job dangerous. Finally, I didn't care any more. If you are looking for a romantic novel with some action and suspense then you will enjoy this story, but don't expect a Tom Clancy type read.

  I haven't read the book yet but I'm very impressed by the cover art. That should earn it five stars all by itself.

  And now that I've read it, it deserves five stars also. (I reserve six stars for Charles Dickens and his ilk) Well written, good pacing, suspense, action, interesting characters and settings--all good.

  The plot line follows separate incidents, short stories in themselves, with the presence of Sheriff Sage being the binding conjunction. The historical place setting is well researched and informative. It's Christian fiction, which is fine, but the sermonizing could be less obvious and integrated into the story with more subtlety.
