Virgin Jackson is a park ranger
Virgins' domain is the last of the natural landscape
Virgin is having visions, or are they real
A body count where there should be none is growing
The park service is sending unrequested help
US Marshal Nate Sixkiller a tall, lean, stoic, Native American
Virgin does not play well with others
Nate does not play
The two of them are just not meant for a fun time
The world building left nothing to be desired
The park, the city, the slums
I am anxious to return
It's a great mash-up of genre
Noir, urban fantasy, western, sci-fi and so much more
The characters are enjoyable
The plot twisted and always interesting

Peacmaker book 1
New Music
A must for Alt Country, Singer Songwriter fans
Not just the top of my play list
Almost always on the box
Every start of my wife's ride, it's playing
Deceivingly simple, Monstrously complex
As my friend replied to an email query
"She has got some tough, powerful lyrics!!!
Feeling a little "destroyed" right now...
in a good way"
Says it all

Adam Christopher / Burning Dark / Sci-Fi Horror Mash-up
Burning Dark by Adam Christopher
The Spider Wars book 1
I rarely read horror novels
I thought about putting this one down
It's not just a horror story
It's science fiction
I was too invested in the protagonist
I'm glad I kept reading
At the get go
Delightful space opera
Magnificent space battle
Intriguing enemy
On the flip side
Psychological thriller
Extraordinary mind games
Utterly disturbing enemy
On the whole
Satisfying science fiction
Many unanswered questions
Obviously, more to come

Katherine Addison / The Goblin Emperor / Brilliant
Katherine Addison
The Goblin Emperor
I was all in from the get go
Young Maia
Half Elf, Half Goblin
Banished son of the Emperor
Maia's sweet and loving goblin mother
Died when just a young boy
Being raised and educated
By a mean vindictive elf
Himself banished from the Emperor's Court
In a heartbeat
The Emperor and his sons
All dead in an airship crash
Murdered
Maia the forgotten son
Now heir to the Elfin Throne
Knowing nothing of Court
Knowing nothing of political intrigue
Maia, at heart, his mother's son
A sweet, gentle, loving son
Thrust upon the Elfin Throne
A Must Read for fantasy fans
A Must Read for fans of a good story
Katherine Addison, on my Must Read List

Karl Schroeder / Lockstep / Too Interesting To Put Down
I considered putting this story aside
I just wasn't in the groove
Suddenly, I was more than in the groove
I was in the canyon
I had no climbing gear
I had to read myself out of the book
The premise was a nice twist of an old idea
Cryosleep for planet dwellers and space travelers alike
Everyone is awake at the same short periods of time
Everyone asleep at the same long periods of time
Everyone in Lockstep ages together
Very, very, very slowly
Toby, the protagonist, flies off to do a simple job
His space craft has problems
Toby wakes up 14,000 years later
Things have changed
Karl Schroeder; Lockstep
Space Opera / Hard Sci-Fi
Fast enjoyable read
A very likable young protagonist
An interesting fix for no faster than light space travel
Music
