This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

Book 8 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The brutal bloody game continues with a jacked up theme of Hunger Games and Mario Cart. This book deals with floors 10 and 11. if you’ve enjoyed the book series thus far you’ll enjoy more of the same. I am only tangentially aligned with the target audience…

Book 5 of the Tales of an Aspiring Alchemist series. Our duo is back with their team of misfits. This book serves as a builder for the series, creating a villain for the story as well as giving us more backstory on the team. Also, we are now setting off past the student phase to…

This book is terrific, albeit the examples are terribly dated and would be hard to follow for readers under 40. That said I loved the first to market tied to creation of a different category and you can see many examples of how these play out. Others seemed to tie to these two basic ideas…

Book 4 of the Henry’s Harbor series. The unseen time bomb of the next era hangs in the air. We get a glimpse of the previous era. Socrates and addiction were the prevailing themes. As is consistent with the series is also the theme of how far a person will go against their ethics for…

Book 3 of the Henry’s Harbor series. Not to worry, Henry is wheeling and dealing and of course dealing with all the powers that are bigger than him. The island is really shaping up and he is starting to establish himself. Well, just in time to deal with other people’s choices and his desire to…

Book 2 of the Henry’s Harbor series. More building and balancing much more powerful enemies. Just when things couldn’t get worse more trouble shows up.

Book 1 of Henry’s Harbor. This is a great starter for the series. A lot of naval warfare in this one. I like the change of pace while still firmly in the LitRPG genre. The leveling and pace are well done as well as the abilities and integration of the Gods. Lots of directions this…

Book 6 of the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror. This was the conclusion to the series and by far could have been two books. Lots of training and fighting and Damian (and Henry) and Sylph being completely awesome. I like that he took the time to give us a conclusion for everyone. The…

Book 5 of the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror. Another builder book that just sets up the relationships/allies for the final book. Good progress in abilities for both Damien (Henry) and Sylph. This takes the famous duo in two different directions letting us meet new friends and new teachers. We get a much…

Book 4 of the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror. This is a builder book typical mid series to get us ready for the conclusion. Some new answers of what we already suspected, an epic fight, an a hint at an even stronger foe. Exciting and vicious all at once but now that we…
