The End Is Finally Here

End Game - eBook.jpg

End Game, the final book in the Man of Wax series, is finally out.

Due to some production issues, the paperback isn't ready quite yet. It'll probably be another week or two until it's out.

Man of Wax, the first book in the series, came out in 2011. So, yeah, it's been a while. I probably would have written a much different final book, say, five years ago, so I'd like to think the extra couple of years was worth the wait.

Books I Enjoyed In 2019

I never do a top 10 list, but every year I note the books that I really enjoyed and which I think others might really enjoy too.

Some were published in 2019, but many weren’t, and that’s okay, because again this isn’t a top 10 list of books published this year but instead a list of books I really liked.

I’ve put asterisks next to the titles where I listened to the audiobooks, and because of that I’ve included the narrators in parenthesis, as oftentimes the narrator really makes or breaks an audiobook.
