Science Fiction 3/5

To save the failing Moon colonies from starvation, Janlin joins a jumpship mission to an alien planet. This novel is a great romp through space with terrors on every side.

Finished the edits for the biography and went over photographs for inclusion, selecting the ones I think we’ll use and writing captions/photo credits for all of them. Now I just need to run it past the subject to finalize. On to Book 4 of my Addicted series this week!

Classic 4/5

When tourists bring John to a supposedly Utopian world, he cannot understand their lack of basic morality. This classic is a must-read, if only to understand modern cultural references. It describes a world that in many ways reflects our own, taken to appalling extremes. As a novel, however, its opening promise is dispersed by a wandering plot.

Just finished going over the publisher’s proofs for the nonfiction book on courage (Undaunted) which should be out for pre-order in a few days, and had a really good meeting with the co-author (homicide detective Dave Sweet) about a launch and promotions. Also, I am very close to wrapping up the biography I’m working on. Then the summer is clear to work on Book 4 of my Addicted to Heaven series.

Young Adult Fantasy 3/5

Twelve-year-old Adam is irresistibly drawn to the ocean where he is transported to the mythical city of Atlantis, called by his destiny—to save Atlantis from destruction. This is a fun YA adventure into a mysterious and mythical world full of danger and untrustworthy opponents.
