My Shepherd 3 Favorite Reads of 2023!

My favorite read in 2023� DAMASCUS STATION by David McCloskey After I finished reading this, I thought I was qualified to recruit and run sources for the CIA. That’s how authentic McCloskey’s writing is. Damascus Station is so detailed that, at times, it seems like you’re reading a how-to guide for conducting clandestine operations. Field�

5 Star Review for THE GUILTY ONE

A detective story that turns detective stories on their head. Another absolutely fantastic read created by the incomparable Bill Schweigart. Penned with his signature wit, humor, and an unprecedented talent for engrossing dialogue, Bill gives a fresh take on police procedural/detective novels. Equal parts intrigue, action, mystery, horror, and even a bit of history, this�

5 Star Review for THE OUTSIDE MAN

I once had a movie described to me as, “an injection of adrenaline straight into your eyeballs� and I can’t think of a more appropriate description for Don Bentley’s sophomore Matt Drake novel. This story is an unrelenting, unapologetic, take no prisoners thriller, with action from the very first pages in Austin, TX to the�

5 Star Review for HELLO, TRANSCRIBER

An exquisitely written thriller filled with exacting prose and riveting descriptions. Hannah Morrissey paints a vivid picture of the encapsulating dreariness of Black Harbor, and the subsequent effect it has on her characters. With lines that will send your eyebrows skyrocketing (seriously, one line had me wondering if this was actually a ghost story) HELLO,�

Which Way to Oz Again?

Imagine if you will that your journey toward debut is through the Land of Oz. If returning the captured broomstick to the Wizard in gleaming Emerald City is representative of pub day, then the yellow brick road would therefore be indicative of the path leading to such. Except the yellow brick road is not as�
