Maynard & Jennica by Rudolph Delson – Review
Maynard and Jennica by Rudolph Delson
Where does dignity stop and life begin? Or, rather, when is the right moment to throw it all away and fall in love? Maynard and Jennica meet on a sweaty summer’s day, in a stalled subway train. He’s a musician, she’s a personnel manager; they both have terribly high principles. In true New York style, everyone weighs in on their affair – from Jennica’s West Coast web designer brother (who makes his free-range, organic 10-grain French toast from scratch, of course) to Maynard’s stunningly practical lawyer friend (on black trainers: ‘I can wear them running, I can wear them to court with a suit. I own one pair of shoes, they cost me 40 dollars’), right down to the shrieking train alarm. Rudolph Delson has created that rare and lovely thing: a charming, clever, thoughtful comedy.

The Fastest Way to Write Your Book by Dave Haslett – Review
about 4 months ago - No comments
This is an amazing book that in just four months enabled me to complete a novel I have been agonizing over for six years, write two eco guidebooks from scratch, and spend a lot more time with my family instead of writing all the time. Not only that but I have already found a publisher for both guidebooks, and two New York agents have asked to see my novel. Amazing!

Liberty by Garrison Keillor – Review
about 1 year ago - No comments
Liberty: A Lake Wobegon Novel by Garrison Keillor Keillor’s comedy is low key, conversational (he first became known, after all, as a radio performer). He doesn’t set out to provoke wild laughter, but provides a steady, temperate stream of drollery. One of the things that makes him popular is that he doesn’t seem so very
Zen and the Art of Vampires by Katie MacAlister – Review
about 1 year ago - No comments
Zen and the Art of Vampires (Dark Ones, Book 6) by Katie MacAlister The latest Dark One screwball vampire romantic suspense comedy is a jocular action-packed tale. As always in this wonderful zany series, the heroine gets trapped in an out of control frenzied frolic once Kristoff meets Pia. Readers will enjoy this latest biting
Stalking the Vampire by Mike Resnick – Review

Stalking the Vampire: A Fable of Tonight by Mike Resnick One of the benefits of reading a sequel is that you (usually) know what to expect. When I recently read the reprint of Mike Resnick’s Stalking the Unicorn, I was a little put off by it, more because of my apprehension towards elf fantasy than

He has a decent “crash pad”, a vacant building whose Madagascan security guard buys him coffee and croissants, and thanks to his bookish
