| A fun, highly philosophical view of consciousness and what it means to be truly human. The pseudoscience is a bit thick and unsupported. The tech, its reach, and the stumbling blocks it would present to the heroine tend to be overlooked or only ackno ...more | |

| A fun and twisted ride looking at "what ifs" and "if onlys." Well-paced and nicely written, this time-travel novel kept me entertained. My only issue with it was at the end, when one of the details that had been negated was still embedded in the fina ...more | |

Penny: The Discoveries of Julia Xero Prequel Short:
""Revenge is a dish best served cold."
-- Michael Dorn as Lt. Worf" |

"This was a fantastic little prequel! SHORT, SWEET, AND PACKED WITH HEART.
It tells the origin story of Jacques, the chauffeur and narrator from the Black Jade series. We meet him as a young boy in an orphanage in 1916, and let me tell you, his journey" Read more of this review » |
