Praise for Heath's Books

The website says this is "the third and final magical adventure" in the series but I'm seriously hoping Heath rethinks this (hint hint Heath). I finished this book and I'm still dying to know what would happen next. That is how good I thought this book was. The characters and their adventures became real in my head... and I can't accept that I won't be reading more. - Reader in NC

I know the Princess Carrina series is supposed to be for "young readers" but I have to tell you that I am totally LOVING the books and I'm 38 years old! Heath Buckmaster took this one even farther than he did with Box of Hair. There's more dialogue, excitement, depth in the characters, and the descriptions of the adventures and surroundings make you feel like you're right there! I could SEE the locations, the expressions of the characters, and the bond between the main characters as if I was watching it on a screen! I'm so excited for the 3rd book in the series to come out soon and would really LOVE to see the storyline make it to the big screen! I hope this author continues to share his wit, sense of adventure, and creativity with us for a long, long time! - Reader in Sacramento, CA

Homo Sarcasmus is kind of like Free Range Chickens, only funnier and without the Jr. High School jokes.
Buckmaster just tells it like it is, and he's not afraid to "go there" when he needs to. Surprisingly, he tucks touching stories and little bits of wisdom between the guffaws. And I totally want him to be my "phone a friend" if music trivia is the game.
Because he keeps it real on a human level, anyone - male, female, gay, straight or otherwise - can identify with his humor.
In the immortal words of Oliver, "Please sir, may I have more?" - Reader in Walton, KY

I always felt that the purpose of a book should be to connect and teach and that is exactly what Heath (don't forget the) L. Buckmaster does. Now, what you learn and how you connect is up to you, the reader, or user as it may be. He waxes whacky with us in the many recollections of his years growing up under the decadent umbrella of the 80's reminding us that, yes the PeeWee Herman Show did happen. I had a ton of fun reading and know that when you begin and make that synaptic leap you will too. So enjoy, relax, don't take too seriously, and talk amongst yourselves. After all, as Leonard Nimoy said," The miracle is this-- the more we share, the more we have." - Reader in Texas.

Sophia (Mrs. Hayden Chalmers) chronicles her long life with quiet charm and soft familiarity.
In this truly lovely book, the author weaves such an intimate and compelling story, that it is quite impossible not to fall a little bit in love with Sophia and her family. Her emotions are stunningly brought to life, and I found myself crying along with Sophia, both happy tears and sad ones. I also smiled a lot while reading it.
Without spoiling the book, it's difficult to add more. Some of the topics and events in no particular order: prom dresses, the Korean War, unplanned pregnancy, post-traumatic stress, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, suicide, weddings, funerals, yard sales and porch swings. - Reader in Walton, KY
