The 2013 Catch Up Reading Challenge Results

2013 EBook Challenge Results



Last December, I signed up for the 2013 EBook Challenge. I had also participated in 2012. This year's goal was DVD - 25 books. I didn't make it for two reasons:

  1. My reading time was less this year.

1. Reconstructing Jackson by Holly Bush Reviewed 1/11

Book Review: Make Freelancing REALLY Pay by Daisy McCarty

Considering a freelancing career? Looking to take your freelancing career to the next level? Make Freelancing REALLY Pay by Daisy McCarty can help.

A practical guide to helping you "find the best clients, communicate with them effectively, negotiate a profitable price for their services, and build a robust referral network" is what Make Freelancing REALLY Pay is all about. In this no-nonsense book, you'll learn about: the different types of clients and who you should be going after, how to set a respectable minimum rate, why you shouldn't work for free, how to increase the perceived value of your services, how to improve your communication skills, and more.

Because this book isn't niche-specific, any freelancer can apply the guidelines and advice McCarty provides to her career. This quick and easy read with its conversational tone will inspire you to reconsider the value of your work and get the wheels turning in your mind for where you want your career to go next. Make Freelancing REALLY Pay also gets into some of the nitty-gritty of freelancing work like hourly rates, payment terms, and what is considered a rewrite.

Where I feel this book will definitely be helpful is in getting freelancers to stop discounting their work or working for free just to be published. Make Freelancing REALLY Pay shows all freelancers how to value the experience they bring to the table and price their work accordingly.

Book Review: Harkness by Michael Bigham

Harkness is a superb edgy western murder mystery by debut novelist Michael Bigham.

Sheriff Matthew Harkness investigates the disappearance of two star-crossed teenage lovers. Secrets abound in the Oregon High Desert town of Barnesville, and Harkness must uncover a trail that leads to murder.

In Harkness, Bigham has created a conflicted hero who lives right on the edge of justice. A World War II veteran, Harkness returns to Barnesville and picks up a relationship with the woman he loves. Problem is, she's now married to the town's big-wig, who also happens to be his boss. His fairly regular routine is unsettled when Joey McIntrye, the high school's star football player, goes missing along with his girlfriend, Virginia Kelly. Having lived in Barnesville a long time, Harkness is privy to many secrets, and he must weigh what to reveal in order to help him solve the crime.

The challenge with a character like Matthew Harkness is making him likable enough. In the opening pages he's in bed with the Judge's wife. He drinks too much. Some of the words he uses would curl your mother's hair. He can be a bit violent at times. But overall, Bigham did a fine job of smoothing out those edges to keep the reader rooting for him.

Before I knew I would be helping to promote this book, I had read the first chapter and was totally intrigued.  As a lover of westerns and mysteries, Harkness was a great match for me. Bigham delivered a solid story that kept me turning the pages. The tension slowly built to an explosive conclusion. Along the way, there was the comic relief provided by Addison, the wiener dog that adopts Harkness. In the end, I couldn't say I liked most of the people in Barnesville, but I would definitely return for another adventure; see who else is hiding dirty secrets there.

If you like western mysteries and conflicted heroes, you should give Harkness a try.

Catching Up on Reading


Yesterday, I went to place my cordless phone on its base and not only toppled the base and handset over the side of the bookshelf in my office, but tripped over the large pile of books on the floor. Two years ago, life began to get crazy. I took on more review requests than I could handle. Even as I saw the TBR pile becoming an insurmountable task, I kept saying yes. I know how hard it is to get word out there about your book. Free e-books and self-publishing have made it even more challenging. And honestly, saying no never has been one of my strong suits.

When reviewing books became more of a duty than a pleasure, I decided it had to stop. That's why I've been closed to anything other than reviewing first chapters of books for over a year now. I simply have to catch up. After next month, my gift to me is to start working through my electronic and printed TBR pile. I'm even participating in the 2013 Catch Up Reading Challenge sponsored by Books, Bones and Buffy.

Book Review: I Left My Prostate in San Francisco. Where's Yours? by Rick and Brenda Redner


Facing a prostate cancer diagnosis was tough enough for Rick Redner, who had only visited the doctor to refill a prescription. After robotic surgery, Rick and his wife Brenda found their lives changed in unexpected ways that put their marriage to the test.

Personal stories are a favorite of mine. I also like it when they have meat and don't just gloss over the details. I Left My Prostate in San Francisco. Where's Yours? by Rick and Brenda Redner definitely fits that bill. Primarily told from Rick's point of view, the Redners share the journey through Rick's diagnosis, treatment options, surgery, and the post-surgery changes that created challenges for both of them.

With humor and candor, Rick tackles difficult to discuss topics such as living with a catheter, urinary incontinence, depression, erectile dysfunction, and penile rehab. In addition, there are informative chapters about how to share the news with others and how to cope with their reactions, what to expect during the process, why he opted for surgery, insurance questions, dealing with lack of sleep, returning to work, and more.

From Brenda's point of view, she discusses her fear over losing her husband to cancer, the power of prayer, grief and loss over the life they once had, coping with the change in her husband's personality, and the impact Rick's surgery had on their sex life.

This is truly a powerful book because it shares so many aspects of coping with prostate cancer, surgery, and post-surgery issues that might be embarrassing to discuss. It is a straight-shooting story, but it also encourages and inspires. Each chapter ends with a series of helpful questions, meant to be discussed with your spouse, your doctors, or others. In less than 300 pages, the Redners provide a strong foundation for couples facing a prostate cancer diagnosis.

Recommended.

Book Review: Executive Command by Gary Grossman

 A fast-paced political thriller from Emmy Award-winning network television producer, journalist, and novelist Gray Grossman.

Executive Command continues the story of Secret Service Agent Scott Roarke, who is helping President Morgan Taylor and his administration cope with the latest threat to national security. Terrorists are hell-bent on destroying America and its infrastructure city by city and state by state through the nation's water supply. In addition, the assassin that has continued to allude Roarke seems like he might play a role in what's unfolding.

Can Roarke take out the threat before more Americans are placed in harm's way?

Executive Command is a superb addition to Grossman's Executive Series. Highly-detailed, rich in description, the break-neck speed of this novel keeps you turning the pages. Familiar characters are joined by new names in the third book, adding to the already character-laden plot. Thankfully, Grossman gives you a rundown on who is who in the opening pages before the story kicks into high gear, which happens very quickly.

Grossman is a master storyteller, blending different agencies, multiple locations, and an all-too-real plot, to deliver a fascinating and frightening story. As is typical to the genre, the book is loaded with political and military details. If you enjoy political thrillers, you won't find a better choice than Executive Command.

Book Review: Pandora's Temple by Jon Land

An exciting thriller that blends ancient history and the present into one amazing story is what you'll find in Pandora's Temple by Jon Land.

Former Special Forces commando and rogue agent Blaine McCracken answers the call in the aftermath of a deepwater oil rig disaster that claims the life of a former member of his commando unit, Paul Basmajian. Teaming up with his sidekick Johnny Wareagle and the technological and scientific expertise of Captain Seven, it appears they have discovered one of the most mysterious and deadly forces in the Universe is to blame--dark matter, both a limitless source of potential energy and a weapon with unimaginable destructive capabilities.

The men race to keep a powerful energy magnate and the leader of a Japanese dooms-day cult from finding the dark matter and using it for different, but equally dangerous reasons. That race takes them across the world and across time and history to the birth of the ancient legend of Pandora's Temple, built to safeguard the most powerful weapon man would ever know.

Fascinating! Thrilling! Superb! All these words and more describe Land's latest Blaine McCracken novel. From the moment I opened this book on my Kindle, I didn't want to put it down. A masterful storyteller, Land draws on an ancient legend to create a fast-paced, exciting"What if..." novel that twists and turns until its explosive conclusion.

McCracken and his cronies provide tons of intense action coupled with a healthy dose of humor. Captain Seven, a dope smoking science and technology geek, is by far my favorite character. While McCracken and Johnny Wareagle are a bit more on the serious side, Captain Seven is brilliant and funny. He spends much of the book--even while he's working--searching for some great weed. Why this worked for me, I don't know, but it did. Part of his appeal is his child-like anticipation when he thinks they discovered Pandora's Temple. What I feel Land did extremely well with the character of Captain Seven is allow him to share his wealth of knowledge without making it seem like an information dump. The dialogue flowed naturally, providing the reader with the information he needs, but not boring him with so much detail his eyes glazed over.

I have to admit I was surprised by how McCracken is brought back into the fold. It's actually not for this case at all, but for a hostage crisis. Then as things unfold off the Gulf of Mexico, McCracken and his compadres want to find out what happened to the crew of Deepwater Venture, which included a former member of McCracken's commando unit. This personal connection leads them to the likes of something they never expected. And it's intriguing for the reader as well.

I'll definitely be on the lookout for more books by Jon Land. If you enjoy intense novels filled with action, you can't go wrong with Pandora's Temple.
