The Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatic's Podcast

Live Book Launch: My Brother's Keeper w/ Ben Schenkman For this live book launch party, we interviewed urban fantasy Ben Schenkman about his new book My Brother's Keeper! I loved this book and it was a five out of five starts for me. You can find my review of the book here: https://youtu.be/i0w0VR6bj8g Here is the blurb for My Brother's Keeper: Magic is real, demons walk the earth, and Max’s brother is dead. Max Asher, Jewish mystic and private-eye, never thought he’d be coming back to his home town to bury his twin brother, Solomon. He definitely never thought the funeral would turn into a case, but when Sol’s widow Gabby asks him to investigate the cause of death, “Uncle Max” is on the job. When Max kicks the demon’s nest, he uncovers a conspiracy that forces him to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about his brother. Unfamiliar local politics blur the line between the supernatural and the mundane, and soon, fighting for justice becomes dangerously literal. If Max can uncover the murderer, he might just save his brother’s soul—but if he can’t, he’ll fall victim to the same deadly fate. Putting the past to rest is going to take more than a shovel full of dirt. Make sure to check out Ben, Michael, and Andrew's links using their websites below.
