OH MY GOD WHAT DO I THINK I’M DOING

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: PRE-ORDER LINKS ARE NOW LIVE!!!! This post has been a very...very...long time in coming. I'm writing it a bit in advance, and even now I find it hard to believe that I'm actually getting to a point where I can write this. It's not TECHNICALLY official right now, as of the time … Continue reading OH MY GOD WHAT DO I THINK I’M DOING

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Have a Blast/Rose Colored Glasses

These two were short (200 and 300) prompts, so I figured I'd mush them together! Again, these are taken from the Thimbleful Thursday page, run by my dear friend and beloved author Lyn Thorne-Alder, who I heartily recommend you check out. (Both her stuff, and of course the TTH page. Because it's fun! And good. … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Have a Blast/Rose Colored Glasses

BOOK REVIEW: LOCK IN by John Scalzi

Since I attended (or rather, will attend, as of the writing of this review) one of Scalzi's book tour events on Friday the 24th (aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh) I figured it was probably a good idea to read at least something of his. Yeah, I'm a terrible SFF fan and up until now, I hadn't read anything of John … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: LOCK IN by John Scalzi

Let’s Talk Favorites

One of my most dreaded questions whenever someone finds out that I'm a reader is "so what's your favorite book?" or its brother question, "so who's your favorite author?" I have absolutely no idea how to answer this question, because for most of my life, I've never had an answer. I have someone I could … Continue reading Let’s Talk Favorites

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Daylight Robbery

Literally had never heard the turn of phrase that way, but a quick Wiki search tells me it's another form of "highway robbery"! Neato. So today I'm delving back into one of my few published worlds, because I miss these characters and they deserve more page time. Soren Avalon, digital supervillain, and his significant other, … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Daylight Robbery

BOOK REVIEW: ASHBY HOLLER by Jamie Zakian

I was provided a copy of this book by the author at no cost, in exchange for my honest review. It's been a while since I read anything that primarily features LGBT characters. I'm not sure if that speaks to my choice in books or just how isolated my current collection is, but when Zakian … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ASHBY HOLLER by Jamie Zakian

Read My Book, Please

Any time I get a chance to speak to a published author, whether they be traditionally published or not, I always have a tendency to ask the same question. I ask because I still haven't really gotten a good answer, and it's an important one to me. Particularly since it's likely that I'm going to … Continue reading Read My Book, Please

FICTION FRIDAY: St. Patrick’s Day

Apologies if this is choppy and not as up to par as usual. Part of that is the emotion of the scene, I think, making Alistair's narrative less flowing for me than it usually is. He wasn't good about keeping focus. The other part is that while I was writing, the website I was using … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: St. Patrick’s Day

BOOK REVIEW: HIMSELF by Jess Kidd

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I seem to be on a kick for reading books which take place in Ireland lately. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, but it's amusing that after reading CITY OF BOHANE, my mind seemed much more well-put-together for … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: HIMSELF by Jess Kidd
