Dave Freer’s Stardogs
I know, it isn’t review day. But it is launch day, and I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for this day since I got to read the pre-release copy of Stardogs. This one is good. Very, very good. I know I can always rely on Dave Freer for a solidly plotted,…

Review: Long Way Home
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…

Amazonian Insight
As the whole controversy about Amazon/Hachette rolls on, with the rumor spreading like wildfire last night that Amazon was doing funny things with not delivering ebooks (They aren’t. There is a known glitch that affects very few systems and it is already under repair. But people are more interested in conspiracy theories than facts) I…

Review: General Practice
I have had these books of my shelf for almost two years. You know how kids eat, where they save the best for last? These books have been my mental dessert through moving, and school, and… all sorts of mental and physical upheaval. It’s been one year since I came to Ohio, and it has…

Micro-Reviews
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,…

Classic SF
You tell me… I put out a subtle call for this the other day, then decided I’d have to be a little more loud about it: I want to compile a list of classic SF. Nothing newer than, say, published 20 years ago. If you have a link to where the book can be read…

Finals Week
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…

Review: Vengeance From Ashes
Ever have a book you were reading, even though you had no business making time to read, and you resented life for intruding and making you have to stop every few pages? Yeah, Vengeance From Ashes is like that. I have missed this kind of mil-SF since I stopped reading the Honor Harrington series, which…

Review: Something Different
Look, I’m prepping for my midterm Chemistry Lab exam. This week I have been tired and very very busy, so although I started a book (The Grimm Legacy by Addie J. King and it’s got an excellent opening paragraph, sucked me right in) I am not going to review it until I’ve had a chance…

Snippet: The Eternity Symbiote
Trickster Noir snippets will return next week, but to celebrate the publication of The Eternity Symbiote, here is the last snippet (as promised!) from that book, and links for purchase. You can find earlier snippets here, here, and here, in descending order of chronology. Happy Reading! In all other e-formats, click here. ************** To hide…

Artwork and thoughts
I didn’t read anything this week, again. I had intended to, and I did do a review on Monday, since I read last week… what is my life coming to? I used to read several books a day. Then there was a book here and there, or a stolen hour in the bathtub with a…

Space Opera Snip the third
Third snip of the space opera novella. I think one more, next week sometime, and then I will publish. Which means I have to get moving on the cover! This morning, however, math. I keep thinking I’m going to get a handle on it and it will stop taking like umpteen hours of homework for…
