  • Poetry for the Heart on March 15, 2012

    A Work to be Warmly Remembered Poetry for the Heart, by Christine Rice encompasses the journey of one human along life’s road. The poems are clear, easy to read, insightful, and expressive. Each work with the collection connects and relates to the traveler within all of us. It is a pleasure to read, and leaves one with the feeling of being an intricate part of the whole that is the humanistic existence. I would recommend this work to any reader without hesitation. I have no doubt that it will leave them, like myself, feeling a resurgence of inner strength through the reflection of one’s own life. Wonderful work.
  • Something's Coming on April 01, 2012

    Something's Coming by Lisa Schuch is a grand adventure into paranormal romance with a bit of suspense thrown in. The book's heroin, Roxxi, is strong as both a character and a person. This novel is a fantastic read; carrying with its words images of the happenings that bring the reader deep into the midst of tale as it unfolds. This reader's only complaint is that it left me wanting more. Some consider that a mandate of a good book, play, movie, or show; but for the reader it breeds a great deal of irritation. Passed this small hiccup, Something's Coming is a wild and enthralling ride into the lives of characters that could easily be a friend or neighbor, but live extraordinary lives with exceptional abilities. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author. I would recommend this novel to anyone that enjoys the paranormal, a romance, some combination of both, or Fiction in general. Just be prepared to want more when finished...I know I did.
  • Linehan's Trip on July 10, 2012

    Linehan’s Trip by Bryan Murphy Set in the future, Bryan Murphy’s short story, Linehan’s Trip is an experience in the seedy underbelly of sports, both professional international league and those smaller who wish to be a part of the main stream. Murphy’s short tale is a precursor to his novel Goodbye Padania. The story is both an eyewitness account of racism gone to the extreme, and a main character with enough power in the right places to make or break another’s dreams of international play utilizing his own judgment. At the fringes of it all is a stark reality of governmental control and media manipulation. The plot is original and leaves readers wishing to grasp the illusive knowledge that resides just under the surface, but is not visible to those searching. The main character of the piece, Sean Linehan, comes off as a self-absorbed womanizer who orders women like one would order lunch. He is, in many respects, unlikeable; and being so, places the motivation of even his few well-meaning actions into question. This is a story of use, and abuse in many ways, pulling in stereotypical behavior to exemplify the themes of over indulgence and corruption. My greatest hope is that Murphy puts forth energy that is more descriptive in the upcoming novel this tale is based on. The house he has created has good bones, I would like to see him breathe life into it and create a real home for his characters and his topics.
  • Budding Magic on Aug. 20, 2012

    Budding Magic by L S Fayne is Blooming Beautifully Budding Magic by L S Fayne, the first book in the fantasy fiction series, is a wondrous and beautiful telling of the tale of the O’Byrne Daughters. The children of Aine and Keegan O’Byrne have all inherited the magic that runs through their lineage; this novel explores their lives during and after the passing of their parents. The cover does not do justice to the content. It is a magnificent tale, which is wonderfully written. The title of main character is passed from parent to child and then shared by the daughters themselves, much like the magic running through the characters’ veins. Each character is painstakingly crafted with just enough description to create a vivid and elaborate image in the reader’s mind of this beautiful portion of Ireland and its inhabitants. This novel enfolds the reader in the tale and builds its world around each to place him or her at the heart of the story. Fayne has created a storyline, and the telling there of, that not only gives the reader a front row seat to the happenings, but pulls each into the tale to feel and be transported by its words. The plot is highly developed and beautifully written. Each movement of the characters affects his or her surrounding landscape as if Aine herself had charmed the very land. The tale is straightforward, but far from plain. Many writers would stumble trying to create such an intricate tale, but Fayne does so seemingly effortlessly and the reader is all the better for it. From the Emerald Isles to the reader’s hands, this is magic not to be dismissed.
