Greetings Friends. I would like to share a new book with you written by an Oklahoma librarian. I read it a few months ago and loved it and I'm hoping the second one is out soon. There is a review and interview with Ms. Ito at the Forbidden Mazes of the Jennerak blog: jennerak.blogspot.com/Thanks. It really is a fun tale!

Not familiar with that S.R.G.- pretty heavy?
Heaviest I've read of late was Fletcher Pratt's Well of the Unicorn. It was published before Lord of the Rings and had one of the first detailed fantasy worlds in modern novels. Very interesting and authentic feeling but quite a bog at times. Pratt created a very strange dialect for the book or perhaps borrowed one from history--either way, it makes dialogue very challenging to follow, and after researching the novel online, I was relieved to discover I was not the only reader who felt that way.
For pure fun, it's hard to beat Xanth or the Myth Adventures series by Aspirin. I really need to update my reading!

Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire series that was adapted to game of Thrones. Maybe not heavy but serious and everybody is dying all of the time...lol. Still, it is a fascinating read. I enjoy Xanth and I absolutely love the Myth Adventures series. I need to check out some of the later ones...

If anyone with a reasonably well established weblog or site is interested in reviewing the Prison Blade, I am authorized to offer a number of free e-books to reviewers.
Please message me if interested.
Though these books are by my fiancé to be, I am not asking for anything but honest review and some word of mouth about the series, if it has the spark it will go from there.
I can say without bias that they are well written and contain a good story. If you get an e-book, I only ask that you read it in a reasonable amount of time and actually follow up with a review. Help the cause!
Vile, you've got one coming!
Thanks!
