Eat This While You Read That: Kris Keldaran
I’m going to start this ETWYRT on an unusual note. I cooked a recipe I’m familiar with for this week’s dish, and that is thanks to my Dad. Dad, like me, was a military brat. His family landed in Hawaii for his highschool years, and it left a big impression on him, one he passed…

Eat This While You Read That: Kal Spriggs
For this blog series I have done lasagna, Alfredo sauce (twice) but not, previously, spaghetti. Today is that day. Kal Spriggs writes fun space opera, I reviewed his first one here, and recently has begun to produce epic fantasy as well. I was delighted to meet him in person this last LibertyCon, even if it…

Eat This While you Read That: L Jagi Lamplighter
I had the pleasure of meeting Jagi and at least one of her charming children (I’m not sure. My kids, hers, and others were involved in this swirling vortex of geeky kidness. It was fun) at LibertyCon this summer. I’d previously encountered her Rachel books, YA fantasy with a boarding school theme and a very…

Eat This While You Read That: Ryk Spoor
When I asked Ryk for a dish, he sent me not just one, but two recipes. You make one to make the other. It took me quite some time to get ’round to making it, and part of the reason was the ingredient pictured above. Habanero peppers… But before I get into the recipes, let’s…

Eat This While You Read That: Clair Kiernan
When I originally got the dish and title from Clair, I planned to have this post appear close to Halloween. Well, I overshot a little. But zombies are in season year-round, right? And then when I tell you that even the resident curmudgeon read this book and pronounced it a bit of good, light fun,…

Eat This While You Read That: Lars Walker
I’ve enjoyed Lars Walker’s work for years, reading his impeccably researched books about Vikings and the Norsemen first from Baen, and now his Indie works. Although his work is rarely light, it is compelling, thoughtful fiction that still manages to blend action with philosophy and create stories I want to read. I was a little…

Eat This While You Read That: Jason Cordova
I won’t even pretend to understand the whole Kaiju thing. Giant monsters from the deep with no basis in biology? Hey, it’s science fantasy, I can roll with that. The stories are entertaining and anyway, they are more about the big BOOMs and stompy feets, and the brave souls fighting off the terrors that have…

Eat This While You Read That: Rob Howell
I think this may be the best book I’ve read all year that was published this year. If I did that sort of thing, I’d nominate it for an award. And not only is it an excellent read, but it’s a debut novel. You don’t see this much awesome in one place very often. I…

Morning Miscellany
My post is up at MGC this morning: I wanted to write this post for a couple of reasons. One, to counter the claim I saw recently that crowdfunding is necessary to create a debut novel, because you need money to write. Note that the claim here is not: I need money for editing, formatting,…

Eat this While you Read That: James Young
As my readers likely realize, I know most of the authors in this series to one extent or another. That is, after all, how I get the chutzpah to ask them for a moment of their busy time to talk to a nutty lady about food and cooking. James Young is no exception. I met…
