    Papery Feeling

      It’s alive! But it can’t hear you… To understand that joke, you’ll need to read the bit Jimmie wrote about Frankenstein’s Monster in One Hungry Werewolf. It’s coming soon!

  • Book Review: Murder at Mondial Castle

    Book Review: Murder at Mondial Castle

      So! Reviews are coming back. I make no promises. I hadn’t been reading much at all for a long time, and I can’t and won’t read in genres I am currently writing in. Which leaves out large swathes of SFF. Besides which, my comfort reads are, and always have been, mysteries. Specifically Brit Myst,…

    For Your Reading Pleasure

      And to be a little different this week, listening, too!  These are some books I have enjoyed, or that people I really like wrote, or just because I thought my readers would enjoy. It’s the day after Christmas, it’s a weekend, what better to do than put your feet up, sip cocoa, and read…

  • Eat This While You Read That: Toni Weisskopf

    Eat This While You Read That: Toni Weisskopf

      Toni sent me this, along with a book recommendation, and of course I was going to use it. Her buckeyes are fantastic, and plentiful (if, like me, you’re planning a smaller Christmas in 2020, you can reduce the size to a quarter of the recipe and still get great results. This is a wonderful…

  • The Cute Moose: In Print

    Pixie Noir on Sale

      Get your copy now, it’s less than a dollar!  Where it all began…  Intro:   The woman who answered the door was wearing the most amazing shirt. Knitted silk, I think, it clung to her like a second skin, and even though it was dark blue, managed to be transparent. I could see the shadowed…

  • Bibliophilia: The Essential Calvin and Hobbes

    Bibliophilia: The Essential Calvin and Hobbes

      Nope, it’s not even close to an antique book. As a matter of fact, this may be the third copy I’ve owned of this particular book and it’s original copyright is… (checks in extant copy) 1988. However, in the criteria of a book adding more to the world than could possibly have been measured…

  • Mickey Spillane

    Mickey Spillane

      I had picked up a copy of The Big Kill a little time ago. I wanted to read the first Mike Hammer story. I’ve been avoiding the Hammer series, in favor of Spillane’s other books, because the First Reader said he wasn’t fond of Hammer.  I settled into a hot bath, hoping to finish…
