Fast paced and entertaining, this will be a hard book to put down." - Proguy (Amazon Review) * * * * * "As the story unfurled, I was quickly drawn into the fascinating fantasy world that the author has created...

"Running to Ground is an entertaining read and moves along at a brisk pace... A great read for youth and adults alike who enjoy a good story with some surprises, twists, humour and suspense. I highly recommend this as an entertaining and enjoyable read. Settle into your favourite chair and have an out of this world adventure." - ProGuy (Amazon.ca Review) * * * * * "A wonderful sequel to the first Keeper Chronicles book... Full of unexpected turns in the plot, the author keeps you guessing as he tells the story through the eyes of different characters. I would highly recommend for readers who enjoy Narnia or The Hobbit. Completely appropriate for middle school to high school age kids but still engaging enough for adults." - RDaug (Amazon Review) |

"The third installment for The Keeper Chronicles does not disappoint. Continuing the saga of the land of Tranthaea, Reaping the Whirlwind, is just as exciting as the first two books. More new characters, threats, battles and surprises await." - RDaug (Amazon Review) * * * * * |

"More great adventures from the land of Tranthaea. These exciting tales give glimpses into the history of this fantastical world. Discover more about characters from the trilogy as well as meeting new players. Intriguing stories that keep me wanting more Tranthaean Adventures. If you've read the trilogy, these are a must read." - RDaug (Amazon Review) * * * * * |

"Loved this collection of short stories! There is something in here for everyone... a range of light and dark themes, a wide variety of genres. You will laugh, you will be surprised, and you will think... all important things for a book to accomplish. Highly recommended!" - Mrs. G (Amazon Review) * * * * * "A great collection of short reads... Ghosts, cowboys, poetry...It's all there." - ProGuy (Amazon.ca Review) * * * * "Intriguing and diverse... I have re-read many of them and they still captivate and provoke the imagination... A definite recommended read." - RDaug (Amazon Review) * * * * * "A fun read. Full of surprises. Not your typical happy ending fiction. Loved it!" - Pam Toth (Amazon.ca Review) * * * * * "Great book! My favorites stories were Worth, Murphy's Outlaw, Wallpaper, and Peer Review, but, I don't think there was a single one I actually disliked. Overall, a thought provoking, funny, beautiful, and sometimes dark book. Well worth reading, and I'm glad I did." - Elizabeth Sullivan (Goodreads Review) * * * * * |

"Highly entertaining thriller/mystery with quirky, interesting characters and numerous plot twists... This book will make you want to go to the drive-in. I will be reading more from this talented author." - Bouqui Stautmeister (Amazon Review) * * * * * "My favorite mystery writer was Agatha Christie and I must say that [J.R. Vikse] came a close second. Naturally I'm always more intrigued if I can't figure out who dunnit. The Munsen Street Drive-In Theatre (& Tie Factory) certainly delivered. This book delighted in several areas." - Boots (Amazon.ca Review) * * * * "Another fun mystery from J. R. Vikse. Similar in tone to The Lazy Postman, The Munsen Street Drive-in Theatre (and Tie Factory) takes the reader on a light-hearted journey of wrong assumptions, strange characters, and curious happenings. An easy read that isn't fluff. Great characters and a interesting story line, that kept me guessing." - RDaug (Amazon Review) * * * * * |
