My Kindle Ebooks:

Here are some reviews:

The 100 Calorie Diet Plan - 5-stars
This book is worth more to me than books that are twice it's length. There is nothing in The 100 Calorie Diet Plan that will cause you harm or make you come up short or go to excess on any nutrients. I have been off and on The Paleo diet since before Crossfit made it popular, as an endurance athlete, I found it hard to keep my weight neutral in the off season. I started to match my intake with my output and lost weight and maintain it. Once you calculate your Metabolic Rate, calorie expenditure, and portions, you will have an easy roadmap to follow to hit you goals! This book will show you how!

Summit Success: Training for Hiking ... - 5-stars
I feel more inspired to get fit and do those climbs and mountain trails than I ever have before, because after reading this book I believe I can do it. This author is an outstanding teacher. He clearly knows what he's talking about but he can explain the whole things in ways that are easy to understand, yet he does not talk down to the reader. I felt the conviction of the author that he believes in every one of us and our ability to train for hiking, mountaineering, and peak bagging (to borrow from the title!). The book is loaded with good pictures that helped me to see what he meant by certain exercises and equipment, and it also has helpful charts that we can use to track our progress and set goals. He's used the knowledge he's gained over many years of training and climbing and mountaineering to put together a great and do-able plan to help us enjoy the same adventures he's been sharing with us in his books. I love how he'll share tidbits of his adventures and how they apply to what he's explaining at the moment. Many manuals like this are dry reading but I found this one to be interesting all the way to the end. Very good job, Mr. Miske. I look forward to your future books. Thanks for your commitment and hard work in teaching others.

Carstensz: Stone Age to Iron Age - 5-stars
This book is amazing. What Mr. Miske went through on this trip is beyond comprehension for most Americans. Physically and mentally he was put to one of the biggest tests of endurance the body can take. Plus he did a fantastic job telling the story in this book. Whether you're a climber or not, or even into outdoor adventures, you will enjoy this book. It contains the human element as well as the technical side of things, which makes it a well-balanced and excellent read.

My Sweet Infected - 5-stars
He did a fine job of carrying and developing the plot, and his characters' growth is fantastic. Although this is not my usual genre of reading and I haven't had a lot of exposure to this world, I can recognize a good quality work. In addition to the excellent quality of the writing, the editing is flawless, making for a good reading experience. I will probably buy and read the subsequent volumes too, because now I have to know what becomes of Emma, Porter, and Linda! The sneak preview of book 2 is enticing!

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Review: How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: [#writing]

How to Outline a Nonfiction Book: How to Write an Outline That Will Make Writing Your Nonfiction Book a Breeze by Dean R. Giles My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you've never written a book of any sort. If you've never written a non-fiction book. If you're totally clueless. If you need to copy/paste your way to completing a non-fiction book. There might be something here for you. I have a dozen non-fiction books already published. I have had a couple on best-seller lists. That being said just to explain my possibly unique position, not to brag, I got not much out of this. You on the other hand might find the perfect tool to use to achieve your perfect non-fiction book. It's totally worth an hour to check it out and discover for yourself. View all my reviews
