Review: The Shaman’s Coat
I rarely review one of my research books, in no small part because I don’t always read the whole book. This one was an exception to that, and an exceptional read to boot. I picked up The Shaman’s Coat, written by Anna Reid, with some trepidation. I am planning on setting the next book in…

Happy Saturday!
It’s a happy day. Yes, I woke up with bad dreams, but that was just blog fodder for the Mad Genius Club. If you’ve ever wondered about gothic novels, you may want to wander over there for a read of my thoughts on them. What makes it a happy day is seeing this! Scaling…

Book Review: Honor of the Legion
Good morning, gentle readers. Today I am guesting over at Sarah Hoyt’s blog, talking about the meanings of words and one in particular. While I am there, one of my fans and friends, Doug Irvin, is here. He agreed to read and review a couple of books for me and this is the first of…

Feeling a little rusty
I think I need a duster in here. No, maybe a snow-blower… it’s been too long since I did anything with the blog. I do have reasons. Not just excuses! But I’m not looking back, I’m looking forward. School is out… forever. Ok, for at least a year. I promised the First Reader that much.…

Book Review: Witchfire Burning
So it’s been a while since I put up a book review. Mostly, that’s because I haven’t really been reading much. You can see my ramblings about that over at the Mad Genius Club this morning. But when my friend and fellow author put out her latest book, Witchfire Burning, I knew I had to…

The EHEH Korean Restaurant
A while back, cut off from our favorite Korean place by a staff holiday, we tried out an Emergency Holographic Korean Restaurant, and deemed it good, but not as good as our favorite. Yesterday, on our date night, we discovered what the First Reader deemed the Emergency Holographic, Emergency Holographic Korean Restaurant. Cumbersome, but it works.…

Reading recommendations
I haven’t been reading much, well, not at all. Except for school. It’s been mad busy. I read this book a while back, as an ARC, and I have been waiting for it to come out. I got to put up the first review! Anyway, I highly recommend it, and the first book in the…

Review: Suicide Squad
I know, I know, I NEVER do movie reviews. Maybe once or twice before. I’m not really a flick chick. Being raised with no TV and only seeing a handful of movies on the big screen before adulthood will do that, I think. Anyway, I do like a good movie, but my idea of a…

Review: Grunge and Others
I’ll be back around again later with another review, but so far this morning has been spent with my newly-minted 16 year-old daughter in the kitchen making her birthday cake. From scratch. Why, yes, she is awesome, and I’m very proud of her. Over the weekend I was sick, so I read books. I made…

Review: Shorts N Stuff
I’m seriously behind in my reviews. For that matter, I’m behind in my reading. Well, reading of fiction. This summer in between writing Tanager’s Fledglings, art, life, and other stuff, I’ve been reading such scintillating material as Molecular Biology of the Cell: Fifth Edition. I’ve also got my biochemistry and invertebrate zoology books. So yes,…

Review: Tupelo Honey Cafe
During my recent trip to Knoxville, we got together with friends, and they wanted to meet us for Dinner. Since I talk about food a lot on this blog (seriously, I have no idea when I became a foodie. I like food, but I’m happy with the simple stuff, too!) they wanted to go to…

The Donut Report
I got a craving for doughnuts this morning. Ohio, unlike NH, does not have the obsession with these pastries that has led to a D&D on every street corner in New England. So I set off on a quest to the next town over, running errands while I was out to justify my jaunt. I…
