Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Chosen

 

Chosen, Edward Hendry, 2024

Part 2 of a series, this story is about James "Mack" MacNaughton, a Vietnam veteran who has had his fill of war. Several unexplained things have happened in his life.

Courtesy of a red ruby with supernatural powers, Mack finds himself in the middle of the Revolutionary War. He also has fallen for Toey, a Cherokee princess. Mack does not want to change history, but he wants to stay away from the British as much as possible. Several supernatural beings, including angels and beings from Cherokee folklore, tell Mack that he has a destiny to fulfill. Does it involve Toey? Does it involve returning to the 21st Century?

Here is an excellent piece of writing. It has historical fiction, it's just weird enough, without being too weird, and it has true love. The reader will not go wrong with this one.
