My Blog

Retirement. Publishers, thank you for the many years of reading pleasure you gave me, but all good things must come to an end. Due to failing eyesight I am forced to retire. I can no longer review your books, and any that you send will be donated to the local library, unread. Do not send any more. I can only read for a couple hours every day, and this does not allow me to finish a book in reasonable time. I will be devoting time to my own books from now on, and reading on a personal level. Books that interest me. I prefer paperbacks and hardbacks, not eBooks. My eyesight has been failing the last few years, and I cannot handle hundreds of review books any more. My books are still available for review. Anyone interested in reviewing any of them, they are found in the Link to Tom’s Books On Amazon. Contact me for pdf copies at fadingshadows40@gmail.com

Phantoms In Bronze

To kick off The Summer Of Bronze, Altus Press released the thick volume, "Phantoms In Bronze" a while back, featuring four Phantom Detective novels by Laurence Donovan. Donovan, a ghost writer for Lester Dent had been turning out some descent Doc Savage novels when he moved over to the Thrilling line to write Phantom Detective novels. Four of those novels that appeared in 1941 & '42 were filled with Doc Savage type adventures. The Thousand Island Murders, Death Over Puget Sound, Murder Moon Over Miami, and Streamlined Murder are the tales in this big volume. Will Murray writes a very interesting Introduction for the book, and at 632 pages, it's well worth the price. Available from Altus Press and Amazon.com
