I love being back in the world of Agent G, the cybernetic, smart assed assassin. G is a great character and makes a wonderful anti-hero type. He’s an assassin and kills without remorse, but the people he kills have it coming. He loves to quote movies. Like, all, the time. And I love the quotes […]

So, That Got Weird is the first book in the new NA series So Far, So Good. Elizabeth grew up in a family that was very controlling and isolated from kids her own age. She is awkward and really never learned how to talk with people one on one. Now in college, away from the […]
Psycho Killers in Love is a new story by C.T. Phipps, who is an author I really love. Phipps’s writing is one that always makes me laugh and this story is no different. This story brings to life a whole new group of characters set in the United States of Monsters books (Straight Outta Fangton, […]
