Many books I go to read, feature main characters typically in their mid to late twenties. Maybe an oddball 30 year old sprinkled throughout. But I don’t think I’ve ever read a story where the main character is a 40 year old. Now, this may be due to the high volume of Paranormal Romances I …
Did you ever read a book, an adventure book or fantasy in particular, and wonder how life was after the adventure ended? Beyond the epilogue if you get one. What was life like once the heroes returned home, if they returned home at all? That’s what we get in Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. …
Now I will be the first to admit that I have not read the Blood and Ash series. However, I have a very dear friend who absolutely loves it. So when she handed me A Shadow in the Ember and asked me to read it, I couldn’t say no. Not only is she a dear …
