Hello everyone, it’s been a while and I hope this finds you well. I could almost copy and paste the opening of my last newsletter because it is as relevant an excuse now as it was back then….but that would be highly unprofessional of me! So what has been happening? Writing has been slower thanContinue reading “A D Green’s Fantasy Newsletter June 2022”

3/5 Stars, An Inter-Dimensional Fantasy that didn’t quite work for me This book is described as an epic fantasy LitRPG and so I had high hopes after my recent experience reading ‘He Who Fights With Monsters’ that it would tick those same boxes. Well, it ticked some but not many for me. I could notContinue reading “The Plainswalker by M A Rothman”

4/5 Stars. An accomplished collection of short stories. I enjoyed this book of short stories. It is a vignette of life stories from an African perspective that I found thoroughly engaging and fascinating. I have always told myself I am not much of a fan of short stories but I realise it is more anthologies.Continue reading “The Condom and Other Stories by Peter Chika”

5/5 Stars – If you like to start your books with a naked Aussie then you’re in for a treat. A friend of a friend sent me a piece posted by some geezer called Shirtaloon (aka Travis Deverell) on how he became a successful writer and I was fascinated by it and found it veryContinue reading “He Who Fights With Monsters: A LitRPG by Shirtaloon”

5/5 Stars – A captivating and wondrously told story I almost didn’t read. The benefit of being in the #Indiebookclub is that I get to read stories that are outside of my usual fare.  That was very much the case with Everlong, a paranormal romance. I can still hear myself now, lamenting at my computerContinue reading “Everlong by R. Raeta”

4.5/5 Stars – An Engrossing YA Fantasy Read This book follows on from ‘Gifts of Fire and Ice’ and ‘Essence of Life’. I will not give any synopsis since I do not want to give any spoilers to those that have not yet read the first 2 books. Being a YA fantasy book I haveContinue reading “‘Fire’s Heart’ book three of The FireNight Prophecies by Darren Boeck”

It has been a while since my last newsletter. Christmas in fact and this one is a little different than my previous efforts. I haven’t forgotten you in that time, far from it but work phoned and I had to do some. I have also been beavering away (and still do) on the final chaptersContinue reading “A.D. Green’s Fantasy Newsletter March 2022”

4.5/5 Stars. A realistic, gritty, adult fantasy that packs a punch I read and enjoyed ‘Fire Within’ Book 1 of a Prelude of Light. It was a grimy, realistically gritty fantasy and I enjoyed the writing style and the storytelling very much. I did at times struggle with investing in the characters in book one,Continue reading “Nature’s Wrath (A Prelude of Light Book 2) by Morten W Simonsen”

3/5 stars A Multiverse, alternate reality with a pill. Phew, okay here goes. I picked this up as part of our Indie Book Club monthly read. I like dystopian fiction and the premise of the book intrigued me. This is the story of a man who is struggling with headaches and finds out that theyContinue reading “Branches: A Novel of Other Timelines by Adam Peter Johnson”

5 Stars – Dystopian detective story with future tech, magic and paranormal(ish) This is Peter Hartog’s second novel in the Guardian of Empire City series and takes place several month’s after the climactic end of book one, Bloodlines which I have read, reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, it was my read of 2021. IContinue reading “Pieces of Eight (The Guardian Of Empire City) by Peter Hartog”
