It’s rare I can time a ETWYRT post with a book launch, but The Debare Snake Launcher came out this week, and thanks to a timely author reminder, I have the recipe for you to enjoy while you read your fresh new book! The book opens with food, but not the stuff you’d willingly eat.… Read More Eat This While You Read That: Joelle Presby
Anyone who has read my blog or who knows me, knows of my deep and abiding affection for Baen’s Bar, which led me to Baen Books. This week, a ham-handed and libelous attack was made on the forum. I’m including Toni Weisskopf’s response below. To Whom It May Concern: What is it we do… Read More Baen Books
To my dismay, I discovered when a reader brought it to my attention that this was one of the posts that fell into the ‘blog hole’ when I switched browsers. It’s definitely a book worth reading, so again, I commend it to your attention… I have been working on this book since… longer than I… Read More Repost: Chaplain’s War
I have to admit, being able to write this post gives me a fan-girl moment. I asked in Baen’s Bar and she actually took the time to answer me and suggest a dish. Lois McMaster Bujold has long been one of my favorite authors, and possibly the most influential one in my life, so I’m… Read More Eat This While You Read That: Lois McMaster Bujold
This week’s ETWYRT is a little different. It was, for one thing, a meal that had me doing much more contemplation than usual before I embarked on it. When I asked MadMike for a dish, I knew he was busy and wouldn’t send a recipe, except… he did. And an unspoken challenge. He knows me… Read More Eat This While You Read That: Michael Z Williamson
So you have read everything Larry Correia ever wrote, and you are jonesing for a good book while he’s working on the next one. Well, if you ask in the Monster Hunter International group, this is the list you will get of authors, books, series, and sundry suggestions. I have cleaned it up very little,… Read More The Great Big Handy-Dandy MHI Group Book List
Into the Hinterlands by David Drake and John Lambshead Fair warning, I think David Drake is the best author working today. That being said he is human, some of his work is better than others. John Lambshead is a British author that has done work for Baen. I have had some slight on line encounters with… Read More Curmudgeon Review: Into the Hinterlands
I will be at Life, The Universe, and Everything! in two weeks. It’s held in Provo, Utah, and I am not going as a panelist, just an attendee. But if you will be there, let me know and we’ll try to catch up! I plan on being in a lot of panels taking notes, and… Read More LTUE
Someone put together a list of the 35 Writers who Run the Internet that had a bunch of us scratching our heads in puzzlement. We’d collectively heard of two or three of them, and most of us are very well read online, keeping up with the changes in the industry. So I challenged several disparate… Read More 18 Influential Voices in Literature on the Internet
I will be doing a brief book review today, but first, I wanted to take a few moments of your time to think about America the Beautiful. I’m proud to be an American, I have been since I was a little girl still not entirely certain what that sentiment really meant. While I have never… Read More Passing in Review
I had a conversation with the First Reader as I was cutting his hair. Getting him all spiffy and beautiful for the convention… anyway, we were talking about language drift, and how fast it can be at times. He’d read an old blog post of mine, about making jams, after my Sunday post on Jammin’… Read More Grocery Bags
So I figured out what was making it so hard for me to write yesterday: I’m sick. I wound up spending more time sleeping and reading than I had planned. On the upside, I was reading. Technically, I’m on vacation. That is to say, I’m between the spring semester and the summer class I’m taking,… Read More Micro-Reviews
