I'm normally not a fan of spy thrillers. They're okay, but they've never held my attention for long. I've never even seen the Jason Bourne movies. So when Paul Blake's back cover starts with "Alec Foster is no Jason Bourne," I took an interest. I'd met Paul Blake on Twitter and read a few of … Continue reading Book Review: “A Young Man’s Game” by Paul Blake
I hadn't had butterflies like this since I first went up in the Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags St. Louis (I screamed, but I screamed like a manly man, darn it!).

It's bad enough when a movie or TV show sucks. It's worse, in a way, when they should be awesome. Spider-Man 3 had Venom. Heroes got a second season. Final Fantasy XIII had amazing graphics. And yet, every one of them pretty much bombed. I think most of us really wanted to like one of these things … Continue reading 5 Anime I REALLY Wanted to Like
As some of you may remember, I offered to edit/critique/review written works that people sent to me. One fellow took advantage of this and asked me to review his book, so I did and I put my review on Amazon. But I got the idea to start advertising the books I review, putting them on … Continue reading Book Review–Truth’s Blood
