Author: J.R. Handley

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

Title: Tales of Sales, Day 1

On By J.R. HandleyIn update2 Comments

Hey Space Cadets, I hope you’re having an awesome day! I’m doing great, I should have some new releases coming in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, I thought I would start the new year off with a week of posts highlighting various books that are on sale for the low – low price of $0.99 USD. Some of these books were already $0.99, but I liked them and decided to share. Others, however, are books whose sales I coordinated with the author to get these sales for you! I hope you like these books but check them out now if you’re interested because these low prices won’t last forever! Continue reading “Title: Tales of Sales, Day 1” →

Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of Galaxy’s Edge book reviews. I’ve been super busy finishing some real-life things, dealing with health insurance and the like, but I still made time to read (mostly on hold), so here is my next book review! I hope Santa brings me a new Kindle, then I can get back into the swing of reading even more awesome books. Speaking of book reviews, please remember to rate anything you’ve read on Amazon and/or GoodReads when you get a chance! Anyway, I wanted to share what I just finished with you! So, let’s get to it!

Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. I’ve been in a reading slump, but as you can see from my last few posts I have come out of it with a bang. The kids being back in school have given me some more free time. I need to replace my Kindle though, since reading on my iPhone is a pain! Now that I’m reading again, I wanted to share what I just finished! But enough about me, onto this specific review.  Now let’s get to it!  Continue reading “Book Review: Prisoner of Darkness” →

Hey Space Cadets, I just wanted to share another blog recommending some good stories with you! All of these are listed at $0.99 USD, so get them now while they’re still on sale. While I own all of them, I haven’t gotten around to reading them all. But I vet before I buy, thanks to the sample feature on Amazon.

Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. I’ve read this book several times, but I decided to re-read it and write a review of the first book in a series that I love. I probably won’t review the rest of the series in this level of detail, but I wanted to give you some insight into a series that I know and love. I’ve listened to the audiobook as well, on all of the mediums I’ve enjoyed this story is amazing! Now that I’m writing more reviews, I wanted to share a series that is near and dear to my heart with you! But enough about me, onto this review. Now let’s get to it!  Continue reading “Book Review: Empire of Bones” →

Book Review: Turning Point

 

Hey Space Cadets, here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. I’ve was on a reading slump this summer, but as you can see from my last few posts, I have come out of it with a bang. The kids being back in school have given me a lot more time. I need to replace my Kindle though, since reading on my iPhone is a pain, and not everything is available in audiobook! As always, I want to share what I just finished with you! But enough about me, onto this specific review.  Now let’s get to it!  Continue reading “Book Review: Turning Point (Galaxy’s Edge Book 7)” →

Book Review: The Expanding Universe, Volume 4 Part 2

Hey Space Cadets, how’re you doing?  I’m sorry for the delay in posting the second half of this review – our house has been hit with that nasty cold virus going around our area. I’ve still managed to get some writing done. Here is the second half of my last book review. This review was also a discussion on the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast, which has already dropped. I’ve reviewed a few short stories here that didn’t make it onto the podcast. If my co-host also writes a blog with his thoughts on this collection, I will share here as well. It should be fun to see two different reactions to the same stories.

But enough dallying, on to the review!  Continue reading “Book Review: The Expanding Universe, Volume 4 Part 2” →

Book Review: The Expanding Universe, Volume 4

Hey Space Cadets, how’re you doing?  I’m good, busy with the usual shenanigans of life. My oldest, who is 11, is telling me he is a pre-teen. Clearly a lie, I am NOT old enough for that so there must be some computing error. I’m still writing, with some publications coming out in the coming months. I’ve determined that I’m too slow of an author with too crazy a life for the churn model Amazon favors, so I will just publish and hope for the best. I’ve been writing more book reviews lately, as you’ve seen and wanted to share what I recently finished. Here is the next installment in my series of book reviews. This review was also a discussion on the Sci-Fi Shenanigans Podcast, which has already dropped. I’ve reviewed a few short stories here that didn’t make it onto the podcast. If my co-host also writes a blog with his thoughts on this collection, I will share here as well. It should be fun to see two different reactions to the same stories.
