Wonderful book review here. This book was so much fun to write. (Currently halfway through a spinoff book,too!)

Book Review: ‘Keeper’ by Michael Lasco

Every once in a while, after reading intense fiction, I crave a break to enjoy something light and fun. Little did I know when I picked up this book that it would deliver exactly what I needed. Kee…

For me, it's a toss up between The Thrice Divided and Murder in Lamott.

Books I've read this year. Slow year. But mostly a good one.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with any Kar-Cash-ian but yeah, I agree. I had a school principal once tell me (once I pressed him on this) that as long as kids kept a decent grasp on English and Math up until High School, then homework was a waste of time and of THEIR time.

What an awesome backlist of books!

Kathryn Meyer Griffith @kmeyergriffith.bsky.social · Aug 26

I was publishing horror novels long (1984-) before my Spookie Town Murder Mysteries, time-travel SF, SF, and my Dinosaur Lake series. Here is a collage (and I have more published books now) of most of my books, take a look. www.amazon.com/-/e/B001KHIXNS

📚💙"Book definitely not like any other book about witches, vampires and ghost that I have ever read. There's a lot of twist and turns that keep you on your toes trying to keep up. So, if you haven't read it, what are you waiting for?"books2read.com/u/bP8ldb tinyurl.com/h2rd2bb

Love it. My main character Ro McKinley most likely had a pop tart smeared with marmalade and loads of strong milky coffee.

It had a lot going for it, and it didn't have much to draw upon in terms of templates (the way the modern MCU movies do by rehashing the same plots).
Definitely would have been improved by less B-story, no Eric Bana, and better SFX, but for what it was, I have a fondness for it.
