Dan Dan The Art Man

In this 56th episode, I review the book "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. It's his first book in his epic fantasy series called The Stormlight Archive. Listen to hear why I struggled through the first 3/4 of the book, only to fall in love with it at the end and be super excited for book 2 in the series. It was a big of an uphill battle for me, unlike most readers on this book, but it was well worth it. I loved this book by the time I got to the last act of the story, and I loved book 2 in it's entirety, so I'm very excited for this series to continue.

In this 55th episode, I review the book "Hollow World" by Michael J. Sullivan. Listen to hear why I think it's an instant science fiction classic. This is a book that really made me think and made me laugh. The future the protagonist visits in this time travel novel was pretty amazing and not what I was expecting.

In this 54th episode, I review the book "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green. Listen to hear why it was an instant classic for me and falls into the class of books I know I'll read again over the years. Unlike most episodes, where I stick to strictly reviewing the book, I do a bit of rabbit trailing about why certain books seem to be my favorites—including The Fault in my Stars. My favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Fantasy adventures, but somehow my favorite books end up being coming of age literary dramas. I explore this topic a bit so you get more than just a book review in this episode.

In this bonus episode of Stories of Dan Dan The Art Man you finally get a new short story I wrote! This time, however, someone else is the narrator. I share with you The Melting Podcast episode 38 - Stoke the Fire and Mystery Meal. This awesome podcast has story prompts you can write a story from and submit to them. If they accept it they record it and put it on their show. They accepted my short story "Slug Teeth" and it's the first story you'll hear in this podcast episode. After that, there's another awesome story called "Monster Hunting" by Hugh J. O'Donnell. I give the episode a little introduction and then I give a little update afterward on what I'm up to with my writing. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

In this 52nd episode, I review the book "Invito Rex" by Brand Gamblin. Listen to hear why it was such a fun read. Bear Polo? A chess-like game called Circus on a circular board? This book had a lot of cool stuff, made me laugh a lot, and had great dialog.
