About this author

Dom Testa is an award-winning author, speaker, and broadcaster. For the past decade he has captained The Dom and Jane Show on Denver’s Mix100, and with an audience of nearly a quarter-million people per day, he’s become an extended family member to generations of listeners. The Dom and Jane Show twice has been named Best Morning Show by the Colorado Broadcasters Association.

At an early age Dom recognized a love of writing. In his teens and twenties he wrote both fiction and non-fiction that ranged from articles and essays to short stories and (sadly, unfinished) novels. In 1999, inspired by volunteer work with local schools, he began writing what would become the beloved Galahad series. The first novel in the series, The Comet’s Curse, burs...more

Time and Again by Jack Finney
Time and Again
by Jack Finney
read in January, 2011
This was recommended by a friend, and I'm glad I took her up on it. Written about 40 years ago, it's a time travel story that includes your basic shadowy government agency, a love story woven throughout, and intricate detail.

Believe it or not, that l...more

The Adventures of the Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison
Three short novels in one volume. The first one was interesting. The second...not as much. The third...a stretch.

I get that these were written a long, long time ago, and as such are considered classics in the genre, but I probably should have quit af...more

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
I really enjoyed Hunger Games. The fact that this was the same story (which not too many people mention) is a bit frustrating. So, you liked the battle the first time around? Well, let's try that again.

Personally, I would've enjoyed a tale OUTSIDE th...more

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Difficult to review a book that's been reviewed a billion times. I actually didn't want to like this book (hard to explain here), but I was caught up in the action. Now, as for the sequel...

What's It All about by Michael Caine
What's It All about
by Michael Caine
read in January, 2011
Isn't it funny when you read an autobiography by a Hollywood star you've appreciated for years...and you find yourself hearing it all in their actual voice?

Reading this collection of tales by Michael Caine was like watching a DVD with the commentary...more

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
The Graveyard Book
by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author)
read in January, 2010
I loved the premise (boy raised in graveyard by ghosts), but just couldn't stay interested very long. I'm a big fan of Gaiman, but this one fell a bit short for me.

Boys and Girls Learn Differently! a Guide for Teachers and Pa... by Michael Gurian
For many it's considered heresy to even dream that boys and girls might - gasp! - be wired differently. Kudos to Michael Gurian for shrugging off the rants of the PC crowd to tell it like it is. I've worked with students for almost 20 years, and I ch...more

Packing for Mars by Mary Roach
Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void
by Mary Roach (Goodreads Author)
read in January, 2010
It's refreshing to see a book about the rigors of space travel that's written by a civilian. We're used to these volumes being penned by NASA experts (which is fine), but Mary Roach has a unique way of telling us what it's like to throw up in your sp...more
