The Martian: A Review
I’d been seeing trailers for the film for a while and happened to notice it was based on an Indie book. When my bookclub peeps suggested we read it I was all for giving it a chance. If you’re offended by strong language then I want to start by saying this book isn’t for you. […]

Celebrating 5 Years Published
I guess today is a bit like a birthday. It’s With Proud Humility’s fifth birthday for sure, but it’s also the birthday of my author hat. Five years has flown by in a haze of words, characters, action, adventure, struggle and happy endings, and I’m definitely not complaining. It’s been a wild ride. For those […]

Mad Tinker’s Daughter: A Review
I happened to find this book free some time and thought it looked awesome, so I nabbed it. For starters, that cover, just brilliat. Secondly a steampunk story, so genre for the win.

Ghostwalker: A Review
I picked up this ebook by Ben Cassidy because it was free and looked amazingly interesting. My bookclub had also read one of his shorts before and totally loved it, and I wrote a short fantasy piece for an anthology raising money for him when he was diagnosed with cancer last year. This book was […]

NaNoWriMo 2015: Update 2
Just a little over half way through NaNoWriMo now and as of first thing this morning I’m at 48,609 words. If I was doing a normal NaNo count I’d be finishing today. Since I’m aiming for 69,000 that leaves me with 20,381 words to go. Not too bad although I’ve been slower the last week […]

Stardust: A Review
When I watched the film of this book I must admit I had no idea there was a book, but a few months later someone informed me there was. I finally got around to reading it. I was actually very pleasantly surprised how like the film this book is. There were a few subtle differences. […]

Interlude-Brandon: A Review
This is the third book in the Game series by Terry Schott. I reviewed the first one here and the second here. I wasn’t sure that I’d enjoy a sort of mid series prequel, but I was so glad I was wrong. I think this is the best book of the series so far. Without […]
