(Full disclosure: I do know the author, but I purchased the book on my own and was not asked to review it--in fact, he told me he was afraid for me to read it! This is my honest review.) I wanted this to come out last week, since the author just released his rebranded version of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SONGS OF INSURRECTION by JC Kang

So I'm writing this at about ten until midnight on March 3rd, because I'm forced to stay up as I stare at my computer, terrified. I have my laptop set up next to my desktop, because I've just had one of the most terrifying things happen to me. One of the most terrifying things that … Continue reading Heart Attack Waiting to Happen
So my good friend Lyn Thorne-Alder (you've seen this name before, I promise) runs a nifty little running blog-thing called Thimbleful Thursday. She posts an idiom (at least usually, I'm not sure if she's using other things yet or not) and then a projected word count. These are flash fiction levels of words, so I … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful–Shadow of a Doubt
So I took a bit of a gamble the other day. Usually I have a schedule of books that I'll read in order, to make sure that I get reviews enough for the weeks ahead. Since I'm generally a quick reader, I don't often have trouble with this. But there comes a moment when you … Continue reading When Reviews Go Bad
There is a strange tendency of mine to go onto the Kindle store and see what all is being offered for free on the store. I'm almost never impressed with anything that I find, but I keep hoping that something will change. That I'll find a diamond in the rough somewhere, and find a good … Continue reading Get What You Pay For
I've been toying with this idea for a little while, essentially since someone from my past had a whole faux conversation with me about how this might happen and why. I don't remember most (if really any) of our original conversation, and unlike most other correspondence with my friends, this actually happened aloud, so it's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Origin Story
(Don't mind me and my geeky Broadway beginning. I can't help myself.) Maybe it's how long I watched anime and the like, maybe it's my own connection to theatre and voice acting...maybe it's just me. But I run into a problem with I'm writing, particularly when I start creating new characters. I start hearing voices. … Continue reading I Hear You, Johanna…
As a writer, Valentine's Day can be great fun. I have so many interesting characters who can do all manner of fun and interesting things for the holiday--or, in the case of Karantiri, I can make up an equivalent holiday that they can then celebrate. (Or more than one--one for the humans and one for … Continue reading Valentine’s Day (Because Why Not)
So I'm a little early for Valentine's day, but the post you'll read on Monday got me inspired, so here's a little FF treat for you. It's the same characters as from the romance chapter from last Friday, just at a different point in their lives. I'm a sucker for an HEA, so I doubt … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Even Broken Hearts
