I finished reading an advance copy of James Baretto's debut legal thrill Mystic Wind. Damn good book that I'm going to review for Mystery Scene magazine.
Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor CD Review
Beth Hart February 23rd, 2017 Boston, MA Concert Review
"I can't complain. I got to be Jim Morrison for the first half of my life, and Ward Cleaver for the second half." - Warren Zevon.
Today I start Cities of the Plain, by Cormac McCarthy, the final instalment in The Border Trilogy
"The Batman is Gotham City. I will watch him. Study him. And when I know him and why he does not kill, I will know this city. And then Gotham will be MINE!"-BANE
"We're monsters, buddy. Plain and simple. I don't dress it up with fancy names like mutant or post-human; men were born crueler than Apes and we were born crueler than men. It's just the natural order of things"-ULTIMATE SABRETOOTH
Just finished The Jugger, the sixth Parker book by Donald Westlake/Richard Stark. One thing that has really struck me about this series is how lean these books are. There is no waste. No unnecessary descriptions. No diversions from the plot. These stories are tight and focused and precise. They hit hard and they hit fast. Continuing on to The Seventh.

I'm halfway through Dark Disciple by Christie Golden. Quinlan Vos is pretty cool and should get his own Disney+ show. It's surprisingly passionate for a Star Wars story.
