First BIG-TIME Author to read/review my book. Very excited.

P. Rawlik, from Amazon:
Genesis is a magnificent debut and something Wade Garret should be proud of. The scope is reminiscent of some of the epic series of the 70s and 80s, and will draw comparisons to Dune and the Wheel of Time. Garret has created a grand example of world building, full of a fascinating landscape, people and technology that should serve him well in the future as he returns to it in future installments. His characters are rich and well-developed, and their motivations are clear and reasonable. The combination of setting and characters creates an enjoyable and exciting tale that draws the reader in and won't let them go.

However, in the interest of balance there are some sections of the book that drag, and it could use a good editor to deal with some grammatical and structural issues, but these are minor and really do not detract from the book. Wade Garret should be pleased with himself and readers of SF should watch for his future releases.

~Thanks so much Mr. Rawlik~

GENESIS (All Reviews)

Ok, Now they're all in one place: Amazon, B&N and Goodreads :) Amazon Customer September 29, 2016 5/5 A great read with deep underlying themes. By Author Jon Sprunk A wonderful blend of philosophy, spirituality, and intrigue that covers a clash of cultures and religion. Jak is a hero of the modern age, unsure and yet ready to face the challenges that await him. Amazon Customer September 22, 2016 5/5 GrimDarker ! I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and everything in between. Pacing was great and Wade seemed to have a unique idea told in a new voice. Loved it. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in fantasy, especially you GrimDark fans. Amazon Customer September 9, 2016 5/5 The next Erikson If you loved Erikson you will love this!

Ink Master is BACK!

Yep. It's back! So let's do the rundown since we're already two episodes in. FIRST! They had to earn their shops this time, which was a fun and cool concept. By watching them do Convention Style Tattooing, you got to see a range of their skills. Most everyone did ok, with a few pointers needed here'n'there: Matti Hixson, Scott Marshall and Sausage (yes, that's his name) rounding out the overall best. Then they got into the final tattoos of the day, which was their choice...David Bell did a crushed skull and since he didn't represent it as being such, I think that's why he got picked out for it not being "readable"; but I think it was a cool. Randy Vollink did a water-color ship, which didn't look bad, but wasn't up to par. Keith Diffenderfer did an ugly, ghoulish woman...SORRY, no one wants an ugly chick on their body, I don't care who you are and the judges told him so. Everyone else kinda fell in the middle thereafter a...

My review-ish of The Last Jedi—I cut it into a rant of sorts, because of how much time has passed.

So, it's been long enough. Too long actually that I doubt anyone gives a %$#@ about my opinion. With that in mind, I'll keep it short, more of a rant, given that you've already read dozens if not hundreds of these things. Overall, the quick and easy rating system: 7-8 out of 10* (mostly for some big moments and nostalgia) 6-7 out of 10* (those moments removed) 5-6 out of 10* (when you really dig into the plot as presented) And I kinda bounce somewhere along all three depending upon who I'm talking to about it. So while I'm not conflicted about whether I liked it, I'm conflicted about how good it actually was. As in, which is more important: How a movie makes you feel or How well the story actually unfolds. Going off memory, let's begin with the characters— Poe Dameron In the last movie we learned that Poe was the best of the best of the best of the best..... In the Last Jedi, we learn he's also a dick and the fact he's a dick l...
