Welcome to my blog

As a writer, my first area of interest is obviously my books, but for my blog I will try to address different writing issues or provide my own tips when it comes to writing or self-publishing.

My blog also includes shout-outs to and recommendations for other blogs or websites, book reviews or recommendation, and a few posts sparked by nothing but an area of interest at the moment or occasionally a complaint or five.

Book Review: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

The Eye of the World (and the rest of the Wheel of Time series) by Robert Jordan is truly one of my all-time favorite books. It is a great example of High Fantasy with its mystical creatures and magic, and Jordan is truly a master of creating not only a fantasy world that seems real, but characters so real that I was crying for their pain and cheering for their happiness throughout the series.


The Eye of the World starts off with three youths, Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, and Mat Cauthon--who have all seen a menacing black rider whose cloak does not move with the wind--their friend Egwene al'Vere, and the mysterious Moiraine and Lan.

After a chapter or two of exposition, the characters are placed into danger, and that dangerous ride continues throughout the rest of the book--and the rest of the series. For anyone looking for a serious fantasy series to sink their teeth into, look no further than the Wheel of Time series. I can almost guarantee that, if fantasy is your thing, you'll love these books.
