In this 61st episode, I review Nocturnal by Scott Sigler. Listen to hear why I thought this book was possibly the best book I read in 2015. It was that good. It's a really long book but it's so good it reads like a quick novel. So much great stuff to share about why I loved this one.

Episode 58 | Heir to the Empire

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Thu, 9 Mar 2017 07:27:00 -0800

In this 58th episode, I review the Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Timothy Zahn. Listen to hear why I thought it was an amazing book that did a fantastic job of handling some of the most beloved characters in fandom. Timothy Zahn knocked it out of the park in this one. I also talk about how amazing the audiobook narrated by Marc Thompson are because of his ridiculous talent for doing all the voices and all of the extra production that went into it with sound effects and music.

Episode 56 | The Way of Kings

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 11:11:00 -0800

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.

Episode 55 | Hollow World

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 06:43:00 -0800

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.

Episode 54 | The Fault in Our Stars

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 2 Dec 2016 07:36:00 -0800

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.

Stories of Dan Bonus Episode - Slug Teeth

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 14:23:00 -0800

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!

She made the book really fun and had incredible character voices. It was a wonderful experience listening to the book. Also, this episode is a bit different as I spend most of my review plugging the story into the 3 Act Story Structure to show how well the story was laid out. Have a listen to hear why it was great.

Episode 43 | Destroyer

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Thu, 5 May 2016 17:16:00 -0700

In this 43rd episode I review "Destroyer" by Chris Fox. I loved this book! Unlike some other Military Science Fiction novels I've read this one was never boring! Tons of awesome characters, alien races, and action scenes. Even some cool Indiana Jones style exploring and discovering scenes! Give this one a listen, you're not going to want to miss out on hearing why this book is so cool and you should go buy it now!

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 15 Apr 2016 06:39:00 -0700

In this 42nd episode I review "Dust" by Hugh Howey. Did you like my new animated intro? Listen to hear why this was such an amazing book and a satisfying ending to Hugh's Silo Saga. We read Wool and were amazed and had to know more about the Silo world. Then we read Shift and learned more. Now we get to see it all wrap up in an amazing last adventure.

In this 40th episode I review "I Don't Want to Kill You" by Dan Wells—the third book in an amazing supernatural thriller trilogy. Listen to hear why I thought it was an amazing end to a fantastic trilogy of books. All of the books were great and this last one was a real page turner.

Episode 39 | The Passage

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 09:32:00 -0800

In this 39th episode I review The Passage by Justin Cronin. Listen to hear why I'm torn when it comes to this book. Some of the best fiction I've ever read in my entire life is contained in this novel, but at the same time there's a huge jolting shift in the story that left me bored and frustrated in the middle.

Episode 38 | The Coffee Legacy

danabso@hotmail.com (Dan Absalonson) — Fri, 5 Feb 2016 11:08:00 -0800

In this 38th episode I review The Coffee Legacy by Katharina Bordet. I loved this book. It has awesome fantasy elements in a modern setting. That modern setting is also in traditional Viennese cafe culture, so for a coffee lover I was totally in from page one. Listen to hear why I gave this great book with rich characters 5/5 stars.
