Skythane Audiobook Review – Xtreme Delusions

by

Just got a great review for the Skythane audiobook from Xtreme Delusions: Skythane is not my normal type of book to read but a couple of things made me want to listen to and review it. First off, I’ve owned a copy of this book since 2018 when the author gave me a copy to review when I have time (oops). Second, I’ve enjoyed other audiobooks performed by Kevin Earlywine. I’m kind of kicking myself for waiting so long to enjoy this story. It grabbed me from the beginning and held my attention throughout. I don’t think I can do a … Read more

Point of View: The Dragon Eater: – Evolution of a Cover

by
The Dragon Eater final wrap

One of my favorite things is to share how a cover came about, and this one was really fun to put together.

Now she’s moved somewhere up north… Redding? Seattle? Nome? But we still keep in touch, and when I started discussing the cover design with … Read more
