About the author

I write what I know and care about.

My work is infused with relentless furious action and/or paranormal charismata. Contemporary worlds infused with mysticism. Breathless, brain-twisting plots. High stakes suspense that churns the psyche.

But ultimately it is knowing and experiencing the lives of people that provide the impetus of Stories that Grip the Soul.

I've made music with Kainai First Nations, helped save Russian refugees from deportation, hung with Martial Arts Grandmasters, counseled WWII vets on their deathbeds. Not to mention deep Chinese, cultural participation,

Noah Reid Intro Set: An interesting introduction to the Shaolin philosophy, the main players and their histories and their plans for the future. Don't expect realism in everything. The violence against tigers is terrible, but if you understand that character's makeup/beliefs/culture, then you understand the violence. Some of the action is not realistic, so approach reading these books as entertainment, Hollywood-style. A lot of laughs are through out the books, some at the events unfolding, some from humor. There's a preview of each book, which I appreciate knowing.

Evil Rises - This is my first book by this author and I enjoyed it. The well written story introduces the Shaolin philosophy and the five important players in the Noah Reid series. The characters are interesting; their dialog realistic and streamlined; and while not a cliffhanger, the foundation is cast and continues. 4*

Noah In My Own Words - Noah's life story through law school before his adventurous life begins in earnest. Interesting, and has WR Lowe added into the short story. Tongue-in-cheek and there's a preview, which I appreciate knowing. I wouldn't buy this book outside of this boxed set; it's not needed. 3*

Betrayed - Fast paced; action packed; violent. Well written and interesting, but approach material as Hollywood influenced with some of the events working out a little too well. But the story moves on. How an elderly man ended 54 stories up on the outside of a building was never answered. Humorous from several different views points. Since I don't have the other books, there were players in this book I knew nothing about, but that didn't take away from the story since they were identified. No cliffhanger, but there's more to the series. 4*

This fun look at the character of Noah Reid, written as if by the character himself, makes for a funny novella. It's a great little book and an excellent refresher or introduction to the character's life, setting him more in context for the stories in which he appears. The only downside was some spelling errors, but as a free book from the author, that hadn't gone through professional editing etc, this wasn't unexpected and was entirely forgivable.
Overall, an excellent book, and I'd definitely recommend it for all Noah Reid action thriller book fans!
NB I received a complimentary copy of this book, but I always give an HONEST review based wholly on my own opinions

Nearly a spelling or grammar error per page but an interesting read
