Did you know that Tai Chi was invented by an alien species that secretly attach themselves to human hosts because they would otherwise die in Earth's atmosphere? And that those same aliens have been waging a secret war against each other for control of humanity's destiny? Oh, and they started the Spanish Inquisition. What, you... Continue Reading →
Never Go Back – by Marla Bradeen (a book review)
Not to be confused with the recently reviewed novel of the same name by a different author, Never Go Back, by Marla Bradeen is a murder mystery set in the quiet little town of Las Vegas, Nevada. (It's quiet if you don't go into the casinos or don't stay out after 7pm. Right?) Alison Carter... Continue Reading →
Never Go Back (a book review)
With the Tom Cruise movie coming out based on this book, I thought it would be worth reviewing for your reading pleasure. Or possible displeasure (just letting you know that up front). Readers may already know how I feel about the Jack Reacher series of novels by Lee Child. Most of the time, the main... Continue Reading →
Humor at the Speed of Life (a book review)
I honestly planned on reading this book when it first came out, but it turns out I had a root canal that day (probably), and that sidetracked me. Nonetheless, here I am. Growing up, I was weaned on the humor writing on Dave Barry. When he retired, I wasn't sure I could find another writer so... Continue Reading →
Twisted Magics (a book review)
First off, I've seen several books with a similar name – make sure you get the right one! Okay, so I’ve sorta been tuned in to the fantasy genre lately, party with books, but also because I watched The Shannara Chronicles on Netflix recently. So I went searching for something interesting and ran into Twisted... Continue Reading →
Valor (a book review)
When we last left our intrepid heroes, they were scattered across the land, either betrayed, hunted by several armies, or both. Many unexpected losses occurred along the way. Few were yet aware of the ultimate plans of their enemies, or even who exactly their enemies were. I would now like to point out that everything... Continue Reading →
One Mile Under (a book review)
I've never read anything by Andrew Gross. I was skeptical prior to reading this book because the author had long been one of the multitude of co-writers associated with James Patterson. I was sure I was going to get a 350-page book with 350 individual chapters that came across as if the whole thing had... Continue Reading →
Batgirl (a book review)
It's that time again, when I admit to reading comic books and I post a review. Probably a glowing review, because I still like comic books. Confession: Batman is the greatest comic book hero. Ever. There is no argument against this. Just stop it; you can't argue! What does this have to do with Batgirl?... Continue Reading →
Malice (a book review)
Okay, so I rail against long fantasy epics all the time, knowing full-well that I'll have to walk that back one day. Today is that day. I can already see my enemies at the gates, laughing and shouting "I told you so!" First, a definition: Long Fantasy Epic: Noun - Any story that takes 4... Continue Reading →
The Lost Key (a book review)
Readers of MojoFiction know how we feel about the current genre of series-based international action-thrillers: But how does one define this genre? More importantly, how does MojoFiction define it (because, as you know, we are slightly off our rocker)? Stock good guys who could be played by anyone in Hollywood when the movie comes out?...
