When archaeologist Mark Graham unearths the remains of a pterodactyl at

a dig site in the mountains of Zimbabwe, his discovery isn’t all that remarkable –

that is, until he sees the remains of gigantic human bones buried beside it.

Suddenly, speculation begins to mount about the true nature of the fossils, with

most opinions pointing to a mythical ancient race of half-god, half-men known as

the… Continue

Review of Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer



“We had agreed – the woman I loved and I – that as soon as you were born we would perform an act of mercy and decency and wrap you in a towel to drown you in a nearby sink of water.” Wow. Talk about impact. Thus Broken Angel by Sigmund Brouwer begins.

This post apocalyptic novel immediately draws the reader in and never lets up. In a future reminiscent of John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids, the government of ‘Appalachia’ has taken its… Continue

Nephilim - Review of 'The Ninth Generation'

I just finished reading a book called The Ninth Generation by John Owens. (I'm on spring break from school and have time for such things ...) I was introduced to the book itself by the author when he saw my novel And The Beat Goes On on line and noted that it also dealt with the Nephilim. I guess it goes to show you that somebody, somewhere out there is reading something I've written! In any case, I did enjoy this book for a number of reasons,… Continue

Review of THE BISHOP’S MAN by Linden Macintyre



I recently finished reading The Bishop's Man by Canadian author and well known broadcast journalist Linden MacIntyre. What can I say but that the book was profoundly beautiful in its descriptiveness and unique 'Cape Breton' voice, but also proundly disturbing and melancholy because of the subject matter. It takes place in the 90's when the news of the ongoing scandals within the Catholic church first begin to surface. It is written from… Continue

Review – Sensitivity 101



First of all, ket me apologize in advance - I hate giving poor reviews, but ... sometimes you just have to speak the truth. This book was definitely not what I was expecting. A more apt title might be “How to Become a Gigolo in Sixteen Easy Steps”. In this book, the author takes us through the life lessons he supposedly learned at the hands of various females. This ‘memoir’ reads more like a fantasy – his. Come on. Do you really expect readers to believe you… Continue

Review of No Other



No Other by Shawna K. Williams is a beautifully written romance set in post WWII America. Anti-German sentiment is prevalent, and one family in particular has had to endure much hardship because if it. Now that the war is over, twenty year old Jake must brave a regular classroom in order to finish his schooling. This would have been bad enough, but he wasn’t expecting to fall in love with his teacher! It’s a dilemma that will test his will power and his… Continue

Review – Powers and Principalities



WARNING: This novel could change your perception of the spirit realm!

Powers and Principalities is a powerful story about the unseen spiritual forces that exist everywhere around us and how these forces are bent on human destruction – both personal and global. Author Dan Calabrese weaves a tale that is simultaneously fantastical and imaginative while at the same time realistic in its gritty portrayal of the characters. It centers around three… Continue

Review of "A Skeleton In God's Closet"

This book is well worth reading on many levels. It is based on the 'discovery' of Jesus bones along with other artifacts that 'prove' its authenticity. It is very thorough in its academic approach to the archeological aspects of the story - perhaps too much so, in some cases. I found myself skimming through some of the more dry scientific stuff to get back to the story. The story itself, however, is well written. I especially appreciated the skill in… Continue
