​In the latest episode of our podcast, I had the privilege of diving deep into a life story that speaks volumes about resilience, faith, and the human spirit's enduring strength. I welcomed Martin Bodek, the author of "Zaidy’s War," to share the intimate journey of his grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, whose life story Martin has meticulously woven into a compelling memoir.

The Legendary Guardians: Reunions is a fantasy by author J.F. Monroe. I enjoyed the storyline and would have given it more stars if it weren't for the multitude of gratuitous explicit scenes. If you don't mind spice or are willing to skip the scenes, you'll find the story has a lot of depth.

We learn early on that the human race is being held together by a treaty that keeps demons, angels, and the seven deadly sins in check. The enforcers of the treaty are the four horsemen. However, the horsemen have to choose human hosts during an event called the crucible.

Both Shade and Theo, teenagers in love, are chosen to participate in the crucible - and Theo is chosen as a horseman, tearing the young lovers brutally apart. Several years go by, but Shade can't move on with her life. Then, strange things begin to happen - things that suggest the treaty is no longer in effect.

What will this mean for Shade? For Theo? For the world? This book is fast-paced and leaves you wanting the next installment.

Content note: There are some rather detailed sex scenes. I chose to skip them and doing so did not change the book's narrative.

​In the latest edition of "Online for Authors," Carole O'Neill had the pleasure of diving into a fascinating conversation with Renee Blodgett, who co-authored the novel "Madeline's Journey" with Anthony Compagnone. This insightful discussion offered a glimpse into the spiritual and historical narratives that shape their work.
