I read a lot of books as I review books for an indie bookstore in SLC, Utah. I'm also a writer. The Mary Mac trilogy is out now.
The Nikki Doyle trilogy (Rollover, Thunderball and Ms. Scarlett) can also be found at your local indie. Excalibur - the Nikki/Mary crossover was just published.
N.B My blurbs give you just a taste of the plot. Reviews are a pretty subjective matter but the books you'll find here are books I have read and loved.

Thoughts on Devil's Plaything
Started - and finished this book yesterday. It comes out in June and the plot is scarily plausible. Because it is a tech thriller Richtel's character - journalist Nat Idle - is the one who shows us how much we multi-task. For instance while typing this post I'm checking e-mail and surfing the web for research with Pandora radio playing in the background. I could just as easily be skyping or IM'ing or skimming Facebook. I've never considered what it could be doing to my brain. If you can reel off your parents phone number or your social security number or the password to your bank account without looking it up first you're in better shape than me. I couldn't, it gave me a huge reality check.
