Review: Here Be Dragons
This isn’t entirely a review. Sarah asked me to write the introduction for this collection of her short stories, and I greedily agreed, knowing it meant I would get to read them all as part of creating a good introduction. Since she has priced it very, very reasonably, I do hope you pick a copy…

Review: Mercy Thompson
I’ll be putting up two reviews today, so look out for one this afternoon. This morning, you get a review not of a single book, but a whole series. Someone over at According to Hoyt (who I don’t recall a name for, sadly) suggested that I might like this Urban fantasy series. I picked up…

Reading Material
#freefiction #scifi #fantasy Since I’m not yet working on a new project, there will be no snippeting for a while. Likely through the end of May, as school is taking all my brain right now. I’ll let you know when it gives that organ back… and in the meantime, I will try to find and…

Review: Jim Butcher
I finished Dragon Noir, and ended the trilogy I’d begun writing almost 3 years ago now. Which mean I could finally finish reading a series I’ve really enjoyed. My mental voice is too close to these books to allow myself to read it, and thus flavor my writing, while I was working on the Pixie…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 10
You will find the previous snippets here… Great White Hunter I wheezed for air, and managed to hold up my hands so he could see them empty. “Conrad, dammit…” I had to stop and suck wind. “Hellifino who you are.” He boomed, from close range. I was bent over trying not to throw up, and…

Curmudgeon Review: Camelot in Space
I was reminded of this book recently. I first read it three or four decades ago. So I looked on Amazon and it, with the sequels, were a penny each. This book was first published in 1965. If you have read Christopher Stasheff’s 1979 work The Warlock In Spite Of Himself you have read something…

Dragon Noir: snippet 9
You can find the earlier snippets at the Snippet Herding page (in the main menu. I will repair the link as soon as I can). Morning came far too early, after that late of a night. Ellie didn’t come in with the coffeepot as she often did, and not for the first time I wondered…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 8
You can find the other snippets here… First Marriage “I’d been told I’d die, after the elfshot. But hours turned into days turned into months… Mother was concerned about me, I’m sure. But she seemed more concerned that I would die and there would be no one left to carry on the Mulvaney line. Our…

Dragon Noir: Snippet Seven
Continuing the War council meeting in the kitchen… You will find the other snippets here. And for the second time that night, jaws dropped around the table. He smirked, almost hidden under the voluminous beard. “I’m not always a hothead. Sometimes I leave that for the boy, here.” He gestured at me. “First, we must…
