Title: Good Intentions Author: Elliott Kay Length: 504 Pages Published: 2011 Amazon Link Rating: ★★★★☆ I adore this book. Way more than I thought I would.

Let’s be clear. I’m a near 40-year-old straight male. I’m not one to go out and read a bodice ripper, nor would I want to. Not really my type of book. No shame if that’s your type of thing, but it’s not for me. That being said, I like romance. My normal fare would be called “fantasy romance” or (and I hate this...

This week I’m actually in the middle of a book when writing. I’m about 52% of the way through Good Intentions by Elliot Kay.

It’s the end of December right now, and I just finished the book. I will say that I did finally get into the book towards the...

I am a late comer when it comes to Brandon Sanderson. The only book of his that I’ve read from start to finish is Tress of the Emerald Sea. That was a great book, and it sparked my interest enough to try to really get into Sanderson’s work. But if you know anything about Brandon Sanderson, you’ll know that there are...

Isn’t a crime to post your first blog post and not use Hello World as the title. If not, it probably should be. After many attempts, I have decided to use WordPress as my blog hosting platform.
