Read MoreEveryone knows about the Game of Thrones series. Whether you like the shows or read the books or both you know that George R.R. Martin can spin an epic yarn. His ability to create a world full of unique characters, political manipulation, and intense combat is legendary. He is able to engage an audience through intertwining stories that involve multiple plots and subplots that all relate to each other and end up coming together in a way that is both exciting and cohesive. This is the case in the Game of Thrones books and I recommend people go out and read them. I also recommend people read two other books that I had never heard of until I found them in a local bookstore.

Read MoreThrone of Glass is about an infamous assassin named Celaena who was caught and enslaved in a mining camp for her crimes. At just 18 she is considered Adarlan’s greatest and most deadly assassin. She is taken to the king’s palace in Rifthold to enter into a competition to become the king’s champion if she can defeat the other 23 murderous competitors. If she wins then she will be required to do the king’s bidding for four years and then she is promised that her freedom will be restored.
Read MoreJubal Sackett is a badass and this book was awesome. It is exactly what I want out of a Western genre book. It is about survival in the harsh forests of America. Jubal starts out as a lone wolf and ends up as a leader of a tribe. The value of working together is exemplified as Jubal and his tribe defend against a myriad of aggressors. He is from the white man’s world but is so attuned to nature and the ways of Native Americans that he is able to give and get respect from almost everyone. His strong will and desire for peace create the ultimate good guy. One who doesn’t seek a fight but will defend himself and those he loves to the death. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Westerns or Native American stories.
Read MoreHere are some things I have learned that can help you stay safer and more secure online. This list is not all-inclusive and there are new forms of attacks coming out all the time. One new thing to think about is Voice Impersonation. You may not be able to trust the voice on the other side of the phone even if it sounds like your son or daughter or cousin. Scammers are getting more and more sophisticated all the time so beware.
