Author Note

Given the tension that sometimes exists between readers and authors, I want to emphasise that this is a safe space for readers to leave ratings and reviews that reflect their experiences with my books.

Aside from quoting some reviews for marketing purposes, I try to interact with them as little as possible.

I am also a reader. My reviews mostly showcase indie books that I enjoy. Everyone has a diffe Read more of this blog post »

Dark Reflections by Kelsey Ketch
"For content warning, click here.

Dark Reflections was an emotional roller coaster to write. The concept started as a “what if” question on a road trip toward Pinehurst, North Carolina. “What if someone could be possessed by a vampire?” A difficult que" Read more of this review »

Serpentus is a singularly unique knight’s tale. It could have followed familiar story paths: a small band of underdogs facing up against a highly organised enemy force, or captives plotting a prison break. It ends up being neither of those things – y ...more

Full Review to come on Willow Wraith Press (some time this month).
Starlight Jewel was quite a feat and its sequel doesn't disappoint. This series captures the feral spirit of Grimm's Fairytales. Although this book is aimed at adults, the frightening

C.B. Lansdell and 4 other people liked Adam Joseph's review of Fowl Blade:
Fowl Blade by JC Faust
"When I first heard there was a book about warrior chickens, I was excited to read it.

I really enjoyed Hannah and Gregory (a Hansel and Gretel retelling) by this author, so I thought I would give this one a go - and it didn’t disappoint!

Noxious by Ayrton Silva
"Awesome

Noxious was exactly what I needed in my life. Coward is one of my favorite novellas and since it was pitched as a standalone I was super excited to hear there was a sequel. I held off for way too long because I hadn’t read Coward in about two " Read more of this review »
Platinum Tinted Darkness by Timothy Wolff
"Platinum Tinted Darkness by Tim Wolff is a GLORIOUS fantasy full of adventure, unique characters, and heart. While there’s a great deal of world building and rich lore, the story never gets bogged down by it. The story drops readers right in the midd" Read more of this review »

“From the start, our environment shapes who we are. We don't always see it, but we are similarly influenced by what the people around us believe.”
C.B. Lansdell, Far Removed

“When you start thinking everyone is trying to steal from you, you deprive yourself of so much.”
C.B. Lansdell, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve: A Novelette

“Some people make their own opportunities. Others need someone to help them know what they want.”
C.B. Lansdell, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve: A Novelette

“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.”
C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
tags: war

“It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would rather have stayed there in peace.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
