Lord of the CrookedPaths by Patrick H Adkins 
[Fiction/Fantasy]    472 pages

This imaginative tale sets the pace with the mischievous and sometimes rebellious romps the goddesses become involved with, enticing you to turn the next page to see where they are going andwhat they will do next. Buy it!

--Anne Hill

Set in the time of mythology, this book carries us into the mists with other remembered lore as we follow the goddesses in their desire to help and protect the newly discovered race.  Fascinating!  You won't be disappointed.

I loved the way the godesses were given human like qualities, yet were shown to be unlike man in so many ways, their desires and expectations being different from our needy, life sustaining goals. I say purchase this one!

The Book of Talyara byDavid Anderson
The Chronicle of Windwalker
[Fiction /Fantasy]    120 pages

There is much more to this story than magic and quests.  I suspect that David Anderson is trying to convey much more than a strongly plotted story of magic and other worldliness.  His Hero offers someone who many can readily align themselves with.  Very good buy!

The Book of Talyara is a very good story, but I did find some points where the plot needed a little help.  All in all,I did enjoy it and would like to see this author do more. Its worth the money.
--Ralph Slader

I had to read it twice.  First time to quickly get the whole story, the second to take the time to understand the whole theme.  Anderson has many hidden messages here that apply to our society. This is an up and coming author that we will see more of.Buy, buy, buy!

Chthon byPiers Anthony
[Science Fiction/Fantasy]  248 pages

What can one say about such a celebrated author? Even if this was one of his first works, it truly reflects the man's talent and genius as a writer.  I have always enjoyed his books and this one was no exception.   I'm glad to see him bringing some of his older books back into print.  Buy it now!

Great Story!  I loved the mythology with the woman in the forest bit, luring young boys to her and teaching them to think about their life, not just accept things as they happen.  Even as a man, our hero still wants to see her. It will enrich your reading experience!
--Robert Fitch

Couldn't put it down.  Piers is at his best when the plot gets difficult and tedious and I found his first work to be even more of a complex work than some of his later stuff.  Excellent! Do buy!

Refugee byPiers Anthony
Bio of a Space Tyrant: Volume1 
[Science Fiction/Fantasy]  317 pages

Considering how this character became such a tyrant later on, this is quite a catching and rather contrite side of Hope Hubris.  It clearly shows how circumstances can mold a person's life, depending on their decisions. You'll love!

Refugee was everything I would expect from Piers Anthony.  The author developed his skill very quickly and even his earlier works left their mark on his audience.  I give him both thumbsup, excellent!  I highly recommend!
--Joan Tyler

I read Refugee and found it hard to believe it was written for another generation because it fits in now so well in the now established genre.  Of course, his works as well as a few others are what made the genre in the first place, so other writers could find a niche. Excellent!  This one gets my recommendation!

Beyond Tommorrow byClara De Soto
[Fiction/Fantasy]       620 pages

This one surprised me!   I wasn't sure what to expect but I wasn't able to lay it down until I had finished. It fields a lot of ideas in a constructive way throughout the story and I think it offers some good answers for problems we face today.  Of course, you need to read some things more slowly to absorb those details,but I gave this four stars for good writing and plot development! Recommended!

I could visualize those ships hanging in our sky, guns pointed at our heads!  I certainly hope our government can handle things better in an actual event.  Clara is a fine writer and I applaud her skill and plotting.  Four stars for near perfection!  Ifyou want to have a pleasant time reading, buy it!

I usually pass on most of newbie writing, but there was something catchy about the description so I bought it and read it. I was never more surprised to pleasantly discover such talent and ability in a new author!  I read it twice and placed it on my bookshelf withmy favs and hope to see more like it from De Soto.  Read this one!

The Tale Bearer's Curse byJoanie Dingess
[Fiction - ScienceFiction/Fantasy/Horror]          110 pages

NEW!
Normally I wouldn't go for a collection but this one stunned me a little!  It was written as a story with the selections being part of the events taking place.  Well done!  I like the format and methodology this writer employs and look forward to her nextbook! Buy! Buy!

I like! I like!  Joanie Dingess wrote about common ideas but placed them into a magical setting with skill and humor.  Of course some of those ideas were fitting for the setting as you will see if you buy this one.  I encourage you to do that-you won't be disappointed!  She writes skillfully and employs unusual ideas that new writers should set up and take notice of.  If you like the unusual and enjoy humor, you'll love the selections in this well woven story! Buy it!

Wow!  I think I've found a new favorite!  If her next book is as well written as this little quickie, I'm sold!  I loved the humor and funny things that happened in the shorts and the way this book ends is filled with mysterious hints about the changes taking place, but I found it intriguing.  I'll buy the next book without question!

AMENRA OF THE SANDS byAnthony Dozier
THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER
[Fiction - Mystery/Suspense/Thriller/Espionage],208 pages

Anthony Dozier has had some fame as a writer already, but I have to admit, this book grabbed me.  It was much more than I had expected and you won't be disappointed if you buy it! Goget it!

--Rick Bustosaves

Rated

Unexpected pleasure!  Sounds too historical, but it really sends you back into the mists of Egyptian myth and legend, if you like that kind of setting.  I do and the power of the hero makes a dynamic story.  I recommend it to all Egyptian lore lovers,buy it!

--Sheila Mindler

Rated

Amenra is truly a sending hero who gets to the point, me and you!  I found this one very lively and inventive.  Dozier has lots of talent and he will be one of those long run authors if he keeps this up.  You won't know what you missed if you pass this up, but its your loss!
