Pets: My Dogs

Thought I'd lighten all the book/author vibe up with my dogs being there usual unique selves.

CISCO (2 Year Old Chihuahua)

AU"GUS"TUS AS PUPPY

GUS AS TEENAGER(7 Months Old Rat Terrier Mix)

You wouldn't believe the number of sentence's they've interrupted...and like I could hold it against them...

RReview: Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris

Link: Theodore Rex

Ranking: Wait for Paperback (it is out in paperback)

Comment: I didn't feel Roosevelt as much in this as I did in the first Morris novel "Rise", which unlike this is a must read. Some of this comes from the limits of the presidency itself, but still I was left asking, "Where is Teddy Roosevelt?" Maybe it's just middle-book-itis.

RReview: The Secret History of the Mongol Queens by Jack Weatherford

Link: Mongol Queens

Ranking: Wait for Paperback

Comment: The first third on mongol culture was fantastic but then it just devolved into torture and torture and while I'm sure it was accurate, how depressing!

RReview: A World Undone by GJ Meyer

Link: A World Undone

Ranking: Get it Now!

Comments: If you read one novel on World War One, then read "Guns of August" but if you want a complete look at the entire war, this is a good book to dive into. Prepare to be depressed by the foolishness and needless deaths.

Novellas

To me the only point of novellas, novelettes, or short stories is to do something new, try out a concept, have a little bit of fun without getting too serious or wasting too much time if it doesn't quite work. I'm trying to release at least a novella a year to do just that in new and unique worlds of both science fiction and fantasy, plus some that probably straddle both.

Prime Pickings

Prime Pickings is the first story in my Eaters world. It is a dystopian tale of Earth gone wrong, where most of mankind is locked behind walls and the rest float above the scourge, stealing and scavenging what they can before the Eaters find them. What is an Eater? Yeah...I'm not telling.
