    I’m mad at you, Sabrina Chase. I picked up The Long Way Home last night around 9:00 pm, because I had realized the book I’d read earlier in the week to review hasn’t been released quite yet, so I can’t release that review yet (I’ll give you a hint, it’s GOOD, possibly the best thing…

    I wrote today over at Mad Genius Club about how my writing this novel, alone, feels oddly like working without a net. I know writing is generally considered a solitary occupation, but I think it is less so for most of us than we might at first admit. I know that by the time my…

    So, my schedule is: two finals today, Monday. One on Wednesday, and one online that I can take on Tuesday. Yay for online final! Not too bad, really. Could be worse. But unless you are really interested in Precalculus, Spanish, or Chemistry, I haven’t got much else on the brain. So I’ll leave you with…

    It’s official, Trickster Noir is available for purchase. Print, ebooks for kindle, nook, and more, all up and ready to buy. If you enjoyed Pixie Noir, you will enjoy this tale of what comes after that story closed. I feel a little awkward talking about my own book, so hopefully a few fans will make…

    My Mom was looking for good SF or Fantasy books, cheap FREE. So I compiled a list, with links, for her. On Basilisk Station, by David Weber Oath of Swords, also by David Weber, one of the best Epic Fantasy series out there. A Hymn Before Battle, by John Ringo, excellent military SF 1632, by…

    I picked up After the Blast, a novelette by TL Knighton, for a couple of reasons. I almost didn’t for one big reason. There are stories and themes we all get tired of after reading them over and over and over again… don’t get me started on vampires. Post-apocalypse fiction is one that has been…

    I’m sitting here musing on the last two books I’ve read. Well, one has been started but not finished. I take that back – two have been started… Ok, yes, I read oddly. I was sick and couldn’t sleep for the better part of Monday, Tuesday, into Wednesday. So I read. The problem is, when…

    I was trying to come up with a good topic to amuse and entertain you all, and as I am wading through final edits on Trickster Noir, after a long week of school, my brain had run a bit dry. So I put it off, and fixed dinner, and as we sat and chatted over…

If you previously read and enjoyed Pixie Noir, and would be willing to review Trickster Noir on or slightly after the…

    I was asked if I would like to review this charming little story while it was on a free give-away, and I’m not sorry that I read it. Classic fantasy, the story follows a boy as he is growing into maturity. While it employs various cliches of the orphan with a mysterious past, and the…

    It is finally spring break! Which means I will bury myself in editing Trickster at long last, and have it to my editor by the end of the week. Fingers crossed that all goes well. I celebrated my break beginning by writing a short story Friday afternoon, which was a fun surprise. My brain is…

    I was given a copy of Escape: Rough Hewn Book II by Nadia Kilrick for review. I really have to stop volunteering for these sorts of things. Well, ok, last week’s book wasn’t too bad, and a few weeks ago the Muses of Roma was amazingly unexpectedly good. And there have been books I read,…
