johnsoncm recommended When I’m 64
This is a hard book to read, yet I kept reading. Listening to the hardships of another persons life is never easy but the two things you learn are "there but for the grace of God, go I" and "if they could survive that, I can survive this".
When I’m 64
This story is an homage to my father’s life, a complex and heart wrenching tale of survival, against all odds.
johnsoncm recommended The Living God
There is definite talent in the writing of this book. Particularly, I like how the magic takes something out of the mage and isn't just power without consequence. This is a book that would call me back to read it over and over.
The Living God
When Saran’s magic is stolen, she must confront a life without the ability to manipulate time, struggle to see a rebellion finished, and keep Keleir from falling ever closer to becoming The Living God.

This is a thoughtful and darkly comedic imagining of hell and its overlord. The premise is intriguing -- what can you accomplish if you have nothing to lose? Take a moment and check out this fun story.

      Good solid writing, that reads well, and nicely sets up the problems that come with any new invention - it's use for good, or it's use for destruction. The creator of this new explosive substance means well, but you know the secret is going to get out, and the peace of the land is going to be broken, and you will be left asking why living in peace is never enough.

          THIS IS IT EVERYONE!

          The last 7 DAYS OF MY CAMPAIGN!

          No more extensions left, it’s all or nothing!

          I would love to make Quill within the next seven days and I NEED your help! If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, please do so before time runs out! If you have already pre-ordered (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU), spread the word to everyone you know and maybe consider picking up another copy (if you can). 

          I have to tell you guys, throughout the revision process this book has blossomed far beyond my expectations into something I can really be proud to have my name on. Beyond the action, adventure and intrigue there are some themes about family, loss, friendship and defying expectations placed upon you because of your race, gender or background. I’ve seen my villain evolve beyond a two-dimensional, hand-wringing bad guy and my heroes struggle to find common ground with each other while they try and save humanity’s new home among the stars. 

          I’ve also learned a hell of a lot about being not just a competent writer, but also an adventurous storyteller and the support from my Inkshares comrades has been a constant inspiration. 

          PLEASE help me cross the finish line before the week is up! I promise you a book worth investing your time and money in and the eternal gratitude of this little, hopeful author. If anything, this entire experience has only further validated that this is what I was meant to do...tell stories. Regardless of the outcome, I will keep pressing forward and keep chasing the next story and the next and learn from every success and near-success (I prefer that term over "failure" don’t you?)

          THANK YOU everyone, truly from the bottom of my heart!

            This is at least as good as any fantasy I've ever read. It's so good, I didn't even think a about style, structure, use of words etc. It's simply a great read, an exciting story that does not waste a single word. This guy can write, and deserves a place on any bookshelf in any store, anywhere in the world.
