For me, writing is difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating...and I love it.

Here are a few quick facts about me.

I thoroughly enjoy a good game with friends and family(board game, card game, etc).

The Boston Bruins is my favorite sports team.

As an avid movie fan, I worked at a Blockbuster when I was in college.

I am married with three children, a dog, and a cat. My family is great. Without them, life would be boring.

This is like the fast food of the literary world. It was fun and enjoyable, but not a lot of substance. And you know what, I'm ok with that.

This is the first lit-RPG that I've read. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but once I got over the heav

This book reminded me of the Y/A books by Carlos Ruis Zafon. The setting has a folk horror feel to it, and the book is all about heart. There were times when this book was a little slow, but the relationships between the characters were real. The dif ...more

Another solid installment in the series. It's not the most cerebral plot line, but I can appreciate how the team needs to work within the logic and rules of the magic system. I read a lot of epic fantasy, this one isn't quite as deep, but I like it f ...more
