Agent Palmer

I am familiar with Sandy Toksvig thanks to the popular British panel show QI (and its availability on this side of the pond thanks to YouTube). Sandy has been host of the long running show for many years, having taken over the position from actor and comedian Stephen Fry. 

I knew Sandy to be an actor and comedian herself but had not been aware she was an accomplished author as well, of both fiction and nonfiction. I found this out after my husband and I watched a cooking show interview she did in which she promoted her (then) upcoming novel, Friends of Dorothy.

Are you looking for a thrilling book? One that has action, style, philosophy, and perhaps gods?

Keanu Reeves, yes, that Keanu, and China Miéville have written The Book of Elsewhere: A Novel. It may be just what you need to escape the day-to-day.

Let’s try to keep things straight. Cabal is a published book by Clive Barker containing the short novel Cabal and four short stories: The Life of Death, How Spoilers Bleed, Twilight at the Towers, and The Last Illusion.

Stephen King’s foray into the realm of fantasy is about the Kingdom of Delain: a father, his two sons, and an evil magician.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. James Michener’s novel Chesapeake will paint the Eastern Shore in factual beauty with fictional tales from more than five families covering almost four centuries along the shores of the Choptank River feeding into the Chesapeake Bay.
