Early reviews for Tales from the Dogs' Side

"To quote Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get". Tales From The Dogs Side is also like a box of chocolates. You know that each chapter is going to be related to dogs but you don't know if it will make you laugh, think, get angry, shed a couple of tears, or a combination of the above."
--Chuck B, Florida

"Then there's the "chapter" entitled, Charlie. This chapter alone is worth the price of admission. Mohandas Ghandi said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." In Charlie's story, JD captures the love and understanding we share with our canine companions and reveals the best parts. If you read nothing else this year, read this chapter of this book. You will thank me."
--Ben R, Louisiana

"I laughed and I cried, and then I laughed some more. Having read JD's previous books, I knew the writing would be taut, I just never expected such a rockingly joyous ride. There's something for everyone in this book if you have ever known and loved a dog. Highly recommended."
--LB, Illinois

"In my opinion, the best dog tale ever told was Twilight Zone's "The Hunt." JD's book goes into the same shelf."
--Miguel, Florida

Reader Reviews for False Gods

If I thought there was a chance that Tom Clancy had risen from the grave and written another book it would be False Gods.
--Karen V, Wisconsin

* * *

JD weaves a credible and believable story together culminating in an ending that will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended, and plan to start early, because you won't want to put it down.
--Jim C, Virginia

* * *

An outstanding premise underlies this book. As with Mr. Kinman's previous book, Above Reproach, this one could have come from the pages of current news. It's a wild ride that will have the reader wishing they'd cinched their seat belts a little tighter.
--Mike A, Louisiana

* * *

By chapter 3 I was locked in to this book and had trouble putting it down. The characters are real and the story line is contemporary.
--PJ, New Mexico

* * *

If you thought Clancy was good you have not seen this latest book.JD will keep you up late at night enjoying every page in his latest thriller.
--George F, Illinois

* * *

Good read. Entertaining using current themes that place the reader into the story.

* * *

I could not put this book down. Fast moving, exciting, gripping! Mr. Kinman provides fascinating details about Special Operations, Federal law enforcement, aviation, working dogs, and firearms. All woven into a story that will not let you go.
--Bruce R, Texas

* * *

Was a long time fan of Tom Clancy and his Jack Ryan character and was wondering if there would ever be some thing to replace that line after Clancy's death and I am happy to say yes there is! With JD's Dillon Cole and Ramon the books grabbed me right off and can't wait for the next!
--Steve K, Wisconsin

Excellent read and very hard to put down. And a good reflection of the state of the USA at this time.

* * *

When I read this book, I thought, how in the world was this written with such a feeling of current events? It was like it was written just this week in it's timeliness. A great read, and highly recommended to all.
--Ric C, Montana

* * *

Another great read from a great Author, don't miss this one.
It's an Eye opener for sure.
--Sam C, Maine

* * *

Great read.Could not put the book down until i finished it. Research was fantastic in that it makes it seem real. Just like the Louis Lamar books everything exists just the storyline is fiction and that is even possible.
--Gary M, Texas

* * *

I hope Mr. Kinman enjoys writing as much as I enjoy reading his work.

Reader Reviews for Above Reproach

"I just finished Above Reproach and all I can say is thank you. Loved every page of it and I cannot wait for your next book. It ranks right up there with Matt Bracken's books .I bought both Kindle and the dead tree version."
--Jerry T. (Georgia)

* * *

"JD, just wanted to touch base and let you know how much I enjoyed the book. The perfect combination of experience, imagination, and modern technology. I had to ration it out to keep from downing it in one gulp."
--Mike A. (Louisiana)

* * *

"I started Above Reproach last night and find it impossible to put it down. The premise of the story is believable. The main characters are the heroes we wish we could see today, in this time, in this climate. Above all Mr. Kinman doesn't make the silly stupid mistakes that so many "Action" authors do...he knows his weapons, he knows his subject and he gives you a heart-pounding no holds barred view of what we could face if terrorism isn't stopped in its tracks now. Above Reproach is, without a doubt, on my top 5 book list."
--Karen V (Wisconsin)

* * *

"Well after many 5-7 AM nights I have put down one of the few books I will always remember.

I can NOT ever remember reading a book that had me in tears till I turned the page then shifted into overdrive after the bad guy and then smoothly back to the tender tears again. To me you have a very rare talent and now I have to wait very impatiently till the next book comes out."
--George S. (Illinois)

* * *

"I got your book on Monday... I finished it last night... I just couldn't put it down!!! This was one of the best books I've ever read!!!"
--AJ W. (Germany)

* * *

"J D --
The book is awesome, I am enjoying every page and the story is great."
--Sam C. (Maine)

* * *

"I must say, it's a very well written book! I really enjoyed it from cover to cover. I like the fact that the main character isn't written to be some superman type character as I've seen in so many other books, just a person with good abilities, and morals."
--Mike S. (Florida)

* * *

"The book was an excellent read. I found it hard to put down, my desire to keep reading found me fighting my eyelids for just one more page many a night."
--Jeremy M. (US Army)

* * *

"I have to tell you, I really enjoyed your book. I am a huge fan of Bob Mayer and John Gilstrap so this was a perfect fit for my reading style. In this case it was like Walker Texas Ranger teams up with Ted Nugent! Very nice.

I like the fact that you put together such a diverse cast of characters and managed to keep each involved enough so that their roles were never forgotten through the course of the book. The action was well paced and always lurking in the background throughout the entire story which made it a real pleasure to read.

You certainly gave a good representation of the Second Amendment throughout the story which I thought was spot on."
--Major B.

* * *

" I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast moving, gripped me from the start, and was difficult to put down. You did a good job of emphasizing the necessity and value of the 2nd Amendment."
--John St. C (Utah)

* * *

"From cover to cover I could not put it down, read in nonstop in a single day (good thing I did not have to go to work)."
--Wayne D. (Ontario, Canada)

* * *

"To say that "Above Reproach" is a good read does not do this book justice! A page turner from the start to the end! Highly recommend this to any supporter of the Second Amendment!" --Steve K (Wisconsin)

* * *

"Above Reproach" is a roller coaster ride of a story that makes you want to keep reading, with bigger than life characters epitomizing the love and good in all of us. For adventure, Kinman puts the reader in the cockpit of an airplane or a ranch in Texas with equal ease, and makes you feel comfortable and welcome."
--Dave S.

* * *

"You've done a bang-up job rolling some of this nations toughest problems into a story that mirrors the thoughts and concerns of patriotic conservative citizens across this country, in a story that carries real life consequences for all of us."
--Rich M.

* * *

"This book grabs you, and quickly pulls you deep into its pages. An all too realistic look at what can, and very well may happen in this country in the near future.
A strong statement on why every responsible citizen should be armed. Once you read this book, you will never leave the house unarmed again!" --Ric C (Montana)

* * *

"Unable to put this book down. Unbelievable this was the author's first book! It is a believable story that I hope will never happen here in the U.S., but each day I'm afraid brings it closer to reality. I could foresee this becoming a movie. Thanks for a great book!"

* * *

I also want to really shake your hand concerning your book. Because I have a backlog of books on hand I am just now enjoying the hell out of yours.

As far as I am concerned it has earned it's place next to my Heinlein collection.
--RVN11B

* * *

"Great story about potential terrorism, self defense and our current political climate. The author successfully caricatures the press and politicians and the natural progression of their views against self defense. Great action."
--Randall D (South Carolina)

* * *

"Plot and execution are fantastic. Could very well be a true story. The characters, the scenery and circumstances are just too realistic for words to describe.
I could not put it down even long enough to eat dinner."
--Bob K (Ohio)

* * *

"This is the most engrossing book I've read in a long time. It kept me from my video game addiction until I finished it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the hero was unbelievably good."
--Charles B (Florida)

* * *

"I like the premise. I liked the development. I liked the characters. . .yes, it is easy to recognize some but, so what? The author does an nice job of creating characters that are easy to like and easy to dislike as well as delineating the sheep, the sheep dogs, and the wolves. If this is his first effort, he is commended. What's not to like, good guys (& gals) defeat bad guys? There's action, airplanes (accurate knowledge), firearms (accurate knowledge), and unabashed defense of personal rights (from a writer who clearly understands and cares about such)."
--Ben R (Louisiana)
