    Books, books, books

    I’m going to be out of pocket this weekend. I’ll leave you with some reading material recommendations, so you’ll have something to keep you busy (heh).  Also, these are people I know, writing good stuff, and you might have missed the new releases they have!  First order of business! Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture releases…

    Eat This While You Read That: Alma Boykin

      I’ve been reading more, recently, and one of the series I have been catching up on is the Familiar Tales by Alma Boykin. It’s a lovely set of stories, that gradually lengthens from short interconnected tales of mages and their animal partners into novels centered more around one or two specific characters. I’ve been…

    Not my books. But the covers are my work, and the books are pretty good if I do say so. You should check them out! Shikari by Alma Boykin Adventure! Exploration! Martinus the m-dog!

    Crossing the Line

    Review: Chicken Feet and the Firebird

    Anyone who has read my posts and books will probably have picked up that I have an affection for Russian Fairy Tales. This is due in no small part to the very first book I ever owned. It was given to me at birth, and it’s a collection of beautifully illustrated fairy tales. The Frog…

    Review: Chicken Feet and Comfort Reading

    No, no, I haven’t been cooking with chicken feet. Yes, I know it’s a thing. No, I really don’t plan to try it, although at least I know to take the chicken toenails off before serving. I’m talking about When Chicken Feet Cross the Highway by Alma Boykin. I’m always a sucker for Baba Yaga,…

  • Review: Elizabeth of Starland

    So in one of life’s gentle ironies, Alma Boykin reviewed one of my books this week, when I was planning to review hers. We hadn’t talked about it beforehand, nor did I realize that today is the launch day for her new book in the Colplatschki series. You can’t write coincidences like this in fiction,…
