Chenneville: A Novel of Murder, Loss, and Vengeance
by Paulette Jiles
Another excellent book (10/18/2023)
Paulette Jiles is a national treasure. Very few authors can draw you into the narrative like she can.I hope she's still writing at 100!

A Remarkable Book (7/6/2023)
What an a terrific kooky heart felt Sci-Fi book. Quite the ride from start to finish it was a page turner for me.
The Endless Vessel
The Endless Vessel: A Novel
by Charles Soule
Quite a voyage (6/26/2023)
The author is a well known graphic novelist and screen writer who's created a fun historical fantasy. A different sort of plot that one's unlikely to have come across before. I appreciate his imaginative mind and would recommend this fun read.

Irish through and through (4/26/2023)
My goodness this man can write. I thought at first that this would be a slow burner that took a bit of time but was gob smacked to find myself turning page after page. Really brilliant stuff here.

What on Earth? (4/21/2023)
Start of an excellent "space" opera series with a unique world building take. The characters are well drawn and the writing is first rate. Looking forward to further developments in future books.
