Book Review: Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston

“The Lost City of the Monkey God” (Grand Central Publishing; Illustrated edition, 2017, paperback, 336 pages) by Douglas Preston chronicles the true events surrounding several expeditions into the Mosquitia mountains of Honduras in search of a fabled lost city. His compelling prose creates the intense experience of exploring a dangerous, impenetrable jungle potentially riddled with drug lords that had never undergone scientific study.

Meeting Michael Connelly, Haunted Happenings Books, and May Diablo Gazette Articles

I have been honored to have been selected for The Eugene O’Neill’s Travis Bogard Day Use Fellowship multiple times, so when the Foundation was hosting a benefit that featured Michael Connelly, I was all in. It was a fun event and I had a chance to meet this best-selling author and have my photo taken with him. I enjoyed learning about Connelly’s upbringing and his drive to become a novelist. His inspiration? Raymond Chandler. To learn more, read my article about my experience on page 91 of Books N’ Pieces Magazine. Click here: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/aa1f11219b.html
