Happy Wednesday, fellow reading addicts!
Happy New Year! I hope 2023 is treating you well so far. We aren’t very far into the new year yet, so it’s hard to say how things will go, but if I can get the unexpected house repairs out of the way this month and be free of them the rest of the year, I’ll call it good.
This year I’m trying something new with the 12 books in 12 months challenge where I asked my friends on Facebook to recommend books to me. Next week I’ll share the books they picked and hopefully each month I’ll give an update on what I’ve read. I’m not reading nearly as much as I would like because I spend so much time reading and writing for work stuff, but I really need to start reading for fun now.
I have a lot of goals besides reading for this year. Some of it involves more clearing out the house, working on a vendor show in the summer, and, of course, more travel. Do you have any goals or resolutions for 2023?
Enjoy and happy reading!

Can Professor Derrick Watson track down the pieces of the Codex before more people fall victim to its power? Should he even try?

—

Except, his most talented former students are being set up, and innocent people are dying as a result.
Should he try to track down the pieces of the Codex?
Watson finds that he has no choice. He is overly protective of his students and he’s the best person for the job. Which sucks for him. He’d rather continue with his pedantic research and play chess with his necromancer best friend.
But even in a world where magic exists, we seldom get what we want.
Watson is forced to navigate a maze of elementals, undead, and rival mages. Can he protect his friends and his community? Or will the other powers at play outwit the professor?
Included in this boxed set:
- Soul Bottles
- At the Speed of Yeti

The Sword-Mage Chronicles
($2.99)
When you wake up with no memory of who you are, you know it’s probably going to be a bad day.
That’s exactly what Bentley thought — but she had no idea how bad.
When she saw the wires connecting her to a strange, glowing sword, and an old guy bleeding out next to her, she started to get an inkling.
And then she met the Three.
Three gods cast out of the Unseen World, condemned to make their way in this universe as best they can. Naturally, after 300 years wandering through space, they’ve devolved into rogues in robes; hustlers with a (strange) moral code.
While desperately trying to keep from being thrown out the airlock, Bentley discovers that the Three have a secret. A secret that involves the sword, the Unseen World, and a big bad that’s hell bent on hunting her down.
With the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance, Bentley has to survive long enough to figure out how to get the Three on board and stop the fabric of spacetime from being torn apart.
But that starts with figuring out the significance of this damn sword!
