American Heroes in Special Operations
American Heroes in Special Operations by Oliver North My rating: 5 of 5 stars American Heroes in Special Operations gives an in-depth look into the hearts, minds, and operations of our elite heroes. It’s easy as a observer to idolize these heroes who sacrifice everything, but this book gave me a deeper perspective and appreciation of those sacrifices. With North and Holton embedded with these elite warriors, readers are able to see the intricacies and frustrations these men face on a daily basis. What we see on the news is often slanted and a mere sliver of the truth, and that’s why I love this American Heroes series because, in essence, it humanizes these warriors–it peels away the armor, the …

DIGITALIS on NetGalley & Iced Mocha Flavor
DIGITALIS, Discarded Heroes #2, which releases this January is now available on NetGalley, a site designed for publishers to find reviewers they might not otherwise find. If you have a blog and can review/promote DIGITALIS, please take a moment to check out this site. I love NetGalley! In fact, I’ve gotten several books from publishers through that in order to review. What I love is that your only obligation is to post a review. You don’t have to commit to every book coming out of a publisher’s spring/summer/fall line-up, which means if you don’t like reading women’s fiction (just an example), they you don’t review women’s fiction. It’s all up to you. But if you don’t like digital copies, then …
DEAD RECKONING – INSPY Short List Finalist!
It’s been a crazy week. As y’all know, DEAD RECKONING was free on Kindle from the 22nd-29th, and with it came several 2-star reviews that broke the TWENTY-EIGHT 4- and 5-star review streak. These reviews were very harsh, angry that it was a Christian book and free, called the story a mess, said they don’t have “interstates” in India (um, explain that to India’s national transportation system with more than 900K miles of paved highways that stretch ACROSS India’s states (INTER-STATE highways), with 8 lanes in some areas). Anyway…it was tough to see those when I was sitting here in my cave trying to peck out the last 1/4 of WOLFSBANE, Discarded Heroes #3. But I kept giving the whole …
Robert Liparulo endorses DIGITALIS
Okay, I’m particularly excited to share this endorsement for DIGITALIS, Discarded Heroes #2, with you because it’s from…ROBERT LIPARULO. If you haven’t guessed by the frequent mentions of his writing by me on my blog, Facebook, and other social media sites, Robert Liparulo is one of my writing heroes. I’ve yet to read a book by him that I didn’t love and sail through. His stories are exactly what I love to read–and he “gets away” with a plot device that I have long wanted to include in my stories (and in fact, *did* include in Dead Reckoning but was asked during the content edit to remove): implanting a tool, weapon, or device that’s not “real” (yet!) but so close …
