Review: Prophecy

June 13, 2012 By Seeley James

Review by Seeley James Prophecy – Author J.F. Penn ~55,000 words, $2.99 E When I read J.F. Penn’s first book, Pentecost, the enthusiasm and energy took me by surprise and turned me into a believer.

Review: The Columbus Affair

June 9, 2012 By Seeley James

Review by Seeley James The Columbus Affair – Author Steve Berry ~140,000 words, $27.00 HC / $12.99 E My wife loves Steve Berry and the historical tidbits that litter his thrillers.

Review: Pentecost

April 28, 2012 By Seeley James

Reviewed by Seeley James Pentecost by Joanna Penn, ~65,000 words, $2.99 I stumbled across Joanna Penn while looking for writing podcasts to take on a long drive. Her podcasts were the most relevant and insightful I’ve found anywhere. And her straightforward references to her own novels (prudent not pushy) intrigued me. If the podcasts were […]

Review: The Innocent

February 28, 2012 By Seeley James

The Innocent – Author Taylor Stevens ~100,000 words, $24.00 The great thing about finding a debut author long after she published her first book is the short wait for her second book. I ordered the Hunger Games two months before Catching Fire came out. Then I had to wait an eternity, like a child waiting […]
