Timy, Jen
I live in the northern part of BC, where it’s winter for more of the year than I’d like. The plus side of not liking to be out in the cold, means I get to cuddle up under a blanket next to a fireplace and read. My husband and I have a few horses, free run some chickens, and of course there are bunnies… a lot of bunnies. The horses are his and the bunnies are mine, but he’s a good man and tries to love them too-even when they eat all his newly transplanted saplings. When I’m not reading, or doing farm and animal chores - I love listening to music, painting, tv and movies, and walking.

The Thunder Heist by Jed Herne

The Gates of Golorath by R. M. Garino
If you like strong characters and team stories with some political maneuverings, you’ll probably love The Gates of Golorath. Also, the running the gauntlet was the icing on the cake and just a huge amount of fun.

Kept From Cages by Phil Williams
Kept From Cages was pure popcorn. I could have easily read this in a couple of sittings just because the thriller-style pacing had me flipping the pages pretty quickly.

Shadow Debt by William Ray
Shadow Debt the newest book in The Tales of the Verin Empire series has all the hallmarks of a great western inspired fantasy and hits a lot of my buttons by including those things that make the wild west stories so fun; outlaws, saloon brawls, and shoot-outs involving a magical gun - that doesn’t ever let you forget what you owe it. Why, heck, there’s even a good old-fashioned train robbery.
