BOOK REVIEW: Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit?



Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit is for the most part, a table book set out on the cocktail table to amuse your guests with the raucous title. There are some funny bits but overall has the feel of a blog compilation. It contains zilch in the way of creativity and woul… Continue

BOOK REVIEW: The Very Lazy Lion by Jack Tickle




This book was artfully compiled but greatly lacked in quality content. Two of the pop up pages contained angry looking animals, the lion and the hippo. When you reach the final page, the author tells the young readers that underneath the hair, monkeys are just like us. Anti-Creat… Continue

BOOK REVIEW: Queen's Cross by Lawrence Schoonover



Of all the books I have read in my life, there isn’t a single book that I have come across that would earn a rating worthy of 5 pens, until I read “Queen’s Cross”. It is rare to read of war in such an elegant, poetic prose… Continue

Hi Dusty, I want to introduce you to you my debut novel "A Circle of souls" which is a paranormal, murder, mystery thriller and a tale of justice and hope. I was wondering if you would like to review my book for your blog or sites such as Amazon. Do visit www.acircleofsouls.com to read more about the book. If you would like to read it I can mail an advance readers copy to you. Thanks for your time in advance.

Best regards

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

Yes, perhaps. Ferdinand was king of Sicily. I wonder how many women were running around Europe with swords and armor?

Thanks for your great review. I'm still pushing for some visibility. Queen's Cross is showing at the Book Expo in NY next month, and I've got an ad on WNYC, too.

Hi Dusty!

Any chance you'd be interested in reviewing Barry Eisler's new book "Fault Line" for his May tour? If so, give me a holler at novelnoise@live.com and let me know. Thanks!

Dusty, I'm so sorry. My mother's breast cancer was all gone for a couple of years, but now it has returned. I learned today that she probably has two more years to live, as it is in her bones...

The book is helpful, and we have sold hundreds of them. I can sell you one, if you wish. They are $9.95 plus shipping. Total of $12.50.

My webite's paypay isn't set up for that, so mail me a check if you want. The PO Box address is on the "About Us" page.
