Review in Booklist:

“. . . there is a charm to how Midge represents the feeling of information overload. A particularly entertaining section of the book is devoted to the low-stakes headlines that make for engrossing local news, many of them odd human-animal encounters.”

All Roads Lead to Rome

Review in Booklist:

“As Thorness read about his father’s experience under heavy fire in the mountains and villages of Italy, an idea began to take root. He embarked on a journey to Italy, replicating his father’s path, hoping for some form of closure in their relationship, and the result is this moving and gratifying story about a son’s desire to understand his late father.”

The Dawn Patrol Diaries

Review in Fly Fisherman:

“The memoir serves as an homage to Korea, showcasing both its natural wonders and the modern-day challenges facing its nearly abandoned rural landscapes. Fly-fishing enthusiasts, lovers of obscure foreign history, and nature geeks alike will find much to enjoy in this well-written and witty narrative.”

Creative Genius

Review in Nebraska History:

“Creative Genius provides informative captions and brief, one-page essays about individual artists, but its main purpose is to provide a high-quality visual representation of the capitol’s artwork. In this it succeeds admirably.”

Journey to Freedom

Review in Nebraska History:

“As a twenty-year resident of Nebraska City, I much appreciate this book. As someone who has spent more than twenty-five years researching stories about notable people and events in Nebraska history, I appreciate it even more. It is eminently readable, but also thoroughly researched.”

Star Bound

Review in Publishers Weekly:

“Carney, a former U.S. Navy nuclear technician, joins forces with novelist McCandless (Wonders All Around) to deliver an outstanding overview of American space exploration, starting with physicist Robert Goddard’s 1926 launch of the first liquid-propelled rocket.”
