Review: Glassford Girl Time Jumper Series

Glassford Girl: Boxed Set (Complete Series) (Time Jumper Series) Humanity will change forever because of one girl…   This is a four book series by author Jay J.

Review: David Weber’s Safehold Series

I found myself in San Marcos at the largest outlet mall in Texas a few years ago, and I wandered into a vacant storefront temporarily being used to sell off publisher overrun stock. Making my way to the science fiction and fantasy table, I came across a copy of Off Armageddon Reef, the first book in David Weber’s epic Safehold series. I bought it and got hooked. Although Mr. Weber […]
