Something to Love

Noted writer of words and stories John L. Monk has published a new novel called THIEF’S ODYSSEY. I read an advance copy, and I think it’s his best yet. It’s about a master thief whose life is thrown into turmoil when his past catches up with him.

It’s fun. It’s exciting. It’s well researched. If I were the blurbing type, I might say something like: “THIEF’S ODYSSEY will steal your heart!” or “John L. Monk picked the lock to my book-loving mind and heart with this one!” or Unputdownable!!!”

But I’m not, so I’ll just give you the link and recommend you check it out at your earliest convenience. Which, let’s be honest, is now. Like whatever else you’re doing is unputdownable.

Fun fact: ‘Thief’ and ‘odyssey’ are two words I cannot spell write on the first try. So it took me way longer than it should have to write this post. But you’re worth it, reader. You’re worth it.

If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you know I’m a big fan of John L. Monk’s book KICK.

The sequel, FOOL’S RIDE, is out now. I was lucky enough to read an advance copy of the book, and I can tell you this one’s even better than KICK. It’s a bit darker, a touch more thought provoking, and just as much fun.

Here’s the offical blurb:

Dan Jenkins is back, body hopping a scumbag at a time in his quest for the perfect ride. He doesn’t need much. Premium cable TV, good books, a well-stocked pantry, and he’s set. But the Great Whomever has other plans.

After six months waiting in limbo, Dan catches a ride as a horror novelist whose gruesome stories aren’t just fiction. Later, he hunts a man who’s escaped justice for far too long. Then, in his greatest challenge yet, he strays too deeply into the lives of the people he loves: his most foolish ride of all.
