December 19, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Nun assassins, y’all. I’m not sure why the marketing didn’t just splash that all over the front of Grave Mercy, as once I heard that description, I was all over this book. For those who need more, here is the description from the book itself: Escaping from the brutality of an arranged marriage, seventeen-year-old Ismae […]

The Order of Odd-Fish – Book Review

July 26, 2014 by hpholo Leave a Comment

In the pre-Adventure Time days, there was no easy way to describe James Kennedy’s The Order of Odd-Fish. After all, how does one simply describe a book that is equal parts the snap-quick grotesquerie of Roald Dahl, the cracked-out madness of every late-late-night cartoon, and even the bizarre randomness of a select band of comedy anime? There is […]

Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries, Volume 1 – Book Review

February 16, 2014 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Lizzie Newton Victorian Mysteries Cover

Lizzie Newton is equal parts Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes, a budding mystery writer who does more than write mysteries—She solves them, too. No one wants to believe this of her, though, because this is the Victorian era, after all, and women don’t do that sort of thing. This is why Lizzie must hide her […]

Time Reavers – The Tau Guard

January 18, 2014 by holojacob Leave a Comment

CHAPTER 1 of Time Reavers Everything stopped. Or rather, everything stopped but her. Nicole stared at the subway station in wide-eyed terror. The train rumbling into the stop had frozen in front of her. The people hurrying up along the platform stood like statues, some of them suspended in mid-stride. Some of them not touching the […]

Time Reavers – Novel Origin

January 3, 2014 by holojacob 1 Comment

Here’s the setting. I’m in Stuttgart, Germany, and I’m waiting for the train to arrive at the main station. I look around and think to myself: You know, it would be really cool if I could freeze time and still move around. That would be a handy super power to have. And boom. I had […]
