Book 2 of the Land of Broken Roads is out today. The Druid is now available in ebook, audio, and print. I can't recommend the audiobook enough. Peter Kenny is outstanding. amazon.com/Druid-Fantasy-…
I don't care how well-executed it is, or if the writing is compelling, or if I'm the only person alive who doesn't like it: If it's an unrelenting glorification of evil, vice, and depravity, it's a Bad Show. This applies even if the guy who turned to evil dies in the end.
Happiness is contagious.

If I had never heard of the Fantastic 4 and you tried to explain it to me, I'd assume it was made up on the spot by a kid. "OK so the first one is stretchy, he's like a stretchy guy who can stretch a lot." "Who else?" "A fire guy. He can be on fire." "Oh?" "And he can fly."
LDS theology is cooler than yours because in ours, it's entirely reasonable that Johnny Cash is currently teaching Ozzy the fullness of the gospel over shared love of music
If you were thinking about buying a new @Hyundai, be advised that while they're nice, if you back up into a garbage can and break a side mirror, you just cost yourself around $2000 to get it fixed. Just something to keep in mind when you're thinking about which car to get.
