Peace Talks

Peace Talks #reflection

Peace Talks I’m not sure where to begin with this. I mean, I could have a build up and talk a bit about where everything began for me. I’m not even sure if I have done that already while looking at other books in the series or in the same …

Dog Men

Dresden’s Dog Men #reflection

Dresden’s Dog Men It seems like everything is coming up Harry right now. And if you were to hear that spoken it would sound very strange. It is an allusion to Harry Dresden and the thoughts that I have been working my way through Brief Cases (I mentioned a story …

Weird Wizardry

Weird Wizardry #reflection

Weird Wizardry I don’t think I have ever actually broached this subject before. Yeah, that makes it sound like I might touch on something profound or something but really it isn’t that out there. It’s been a while since a Dresden book has come out. I’m referring to Harry Dresden, …

Kingsway West

what makes a good neighbor

What makes a Good Neighbor

What Makes a Good Neighbor Ever have one of those days where it isn’t anything like what you think but the other keeps popping into your head anyway? Wait, that sounds weird. Let me start over… Ever have one of those days when a commercial is stuck in your head …

Too Soon

Too Soon? It all started for me back in the 80s, with the book The Sword of Shannara. It had been published in 1977 so we are approaching the 40th anniversary of this story. But like I said, for me it was the 80s. This is one of the first …
