Abbott in Darkness – Book Review

December 31, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Never in my life did I think I’d enjoy a book about accounting adventures on a distant planet, but if anyone can change my mind, it’s D.J. Butler. In Abbott in Darkness, John Abbott is drowning in academic debt, but has a solid chance to pay it off through his new job with the interstellar […]

Into the Real – Book Review

October 26, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Into the Real Book Cover

I’ve been looking forward to this book since the moment I heard it described as Pokemon Go meets Monster Hunter—and by the standards both properties inspire in my brain, it does not disappoint. 😄 In John Ringo and Lydia Sherrer’s Into the Real, Lynn Raven is a shy couch potato of a teen who would […]

The Janus File Virtual Launch Party

Hello, everyone! It’s been two years since my last Gordian Division book with David Weber released, so I’m very excited to say that the Book 3, The Janus File, is here – and shows an entirely different part of the Gordian multiverse.

By the Grace of the Gods, Vol. 1 – Book Review

September 5, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

By the Grace of the Gods Book Cover

Sometimes you find a book that, against all odds, ends up being a surprise favorite. For me, By the Grace of the Gods, Volume 1 by Roy is one of those books. The novel starts out as a standard isekai/reborn-in-another-world story, with the main character dying and appearing before the gods of a fantasy world, […]

Wraithkin – Book Review

July 30, 2022 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Wraithkin Book Cover

Now that I’ve reached a little slow point in my writing schedule, I’ve been able to use that time to read a little more. One of my most recent reads was Wraithkin, a military sci-fi novel by Jason Cordova and the first book in his ongoing Kin Wars Saga. The book starts out on the […]

Library of the Sapphire Wind – Book Review

July 8, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Library of the Sapphire Wind Book Cover

There’s a meme that occasionally graces my social media feeds, lamenting that so many fictional heroes are unqualified teenagers, wishing for a story that follows an old grandma with the benefit of experience on her side. Jane Lindskold’s Library of the Sapphire Wind has become the book I recommend whenever I see this meme. In […]

The Story of Edie Skye

Captain Alyssa Closeup

OK y’all, it’s time for the epic story of how this whole Titan Mage thing happened, so buckle up and grab some popcorn: It begins in 2020. One of my jobs as writer/author wife/handler/marketer/general awesome person is to research keywords for our books’ Amazon ads. One of the places I look for keyword ideas is […]

H.P. has a new bestseller (on a spicy new pen name)!

July 2, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Captain Alyssa Closeup

Well, that was a pleasant surprise! 😮 One of my recent background projects has been working on books under a new pen name – new because the content in those books is quite a bit 🌶️ spicier 🌶️ than my usual stuff, and I didn’t want YA readers who found me through The Wizard’s Way […]

Aries’ Red Sky – Book Review

June 24, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Ok, I’ve gotta thank James Young for his patience, ‘cause he sent me an audio code for this book years ago and I’ve spent all that time and multiple listens trying to articulate a review for this thing. Aries’ Red Sky is a grand, galaxy-spanning take of interstellar politics, war, and the humans that are […]

Cinnamon Bun – Book Review

April 17, 2022 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Cinnamon Bun Audiobook Cover

I’m slowly making my way through my massive LitRPG backlog, and this month’s book was Cinnamon Bun by RavensDigger! 😀 Admittedly, it took me a while to get into this one. It bills itself as a wholesome LitRPG, and it’s definitely that. In fact, despite being eager to embark on the adventures promised by the […]
