  • Sword and Sorcery: A Book List

    Sword and Sorcery: A Book List

    From time to time I’m moved by some strange urge to collect a list of books. It may be that I still have the heart of a librarian (reaches over and nudges jar further into the shadows on my desk) or perhaps it’s just that I am only one woman bowed down by the sheer…

  • New Book by Peter Grant

    New Book by Peter Grant

    I’m spooling up for a post that will be a book list of Sword and Sorcery books. Feel free to nominate your favorite title (with author, pretty please) in the comments. Book lists posts take a lot of time, since I curate the list from social media recommendations, so that’s definitely a weekend thing. Maybe…

  • I can’t Write Fast Enough!

    I can’t Write Fast Enough!

    This is what will appear at the very end of Possum Creek Massacre. But it will be a while before that book is released, so you should get a head start on your reading.  Like Books Similar to This One? Cedar can’t possibly write fast enough to satisfy most readers. Check these great authors out!…

  • Eat This While You Read That: L A Behm II

    Eat This While You Read That: L A Behm II

    Lloyd, who writes as LA Behm the second, which I can never remember, has a biting sense of humor I hugely enjoy in life, and in his fiction. He’s also a poet, but that’s not the book I wanted to talk about today. In the Dance Hall of the Mountain King is part of his…

  • In Memoriam 2: Christopher Stasheff

    In Memoriam 2: Christopher Stasheff

    This, the second part of our memorial to Christopher Stasheff, is tangential to the man. It’s a measure of his legacy, which was not only the immortal books he’d written, but the children he’d raised. One of those, Edward, became a writer as well, and here my First Reader interviewed him about living in the…

    In Memoriam: Christopher Stasheff

    We lost a legend of science fiction and fantasy just a few days ago. I’d had the honor of meeting him in person, and he was a sweet man who’d written many wonderful books that left their mark on the world. I thought the best thing I could do to honor him here was to…

  • Vulcan’s Kittens

    Vulcan’s Kittens

    It’s shameless self-promotion day here on my blog! Wanna read a book? If you have already read it, maybe share this post with a friend who’d enjoy it? Or go leave a review if you haven’t already? And if you have already read it, I’d like to say Thank You! and celebrate the fact that…

  • Peter Grant has a New Book!

    Peter Grant has a New Book!

    You won’t want to miss this one. It’s not your run-of-the-mill fantasy. When Peter and I were talking about the cover, he described it to me as something that was influenced by his time in Africa and his reading of H Rider Haggard, and I was sold. It’s not just that I’m easy when it…

  • Review: Shorts N Stuff

    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: Tom

    Review: Tom

    Continuing with my impromptu Young Adults reading week, I offer you Tom, by Dave Freer. While not sold exclusively as young adult, and certainly eminently readable by all ages, Tom is going to be appealing to teen boys (and girls who don’t want a romance as the central plot all the time).  I’ve been a…

  • Free Ebook!

    Free Ebook!

    I’m making Twisted Mindflow, a collection of 17 short stories, flash, and oddballs, available for free download. Whether you’re a fan and interested in the evolution of my writing mind, or you’re new to my work and want to get a sense of just how odd my stories are, this is my gift to you.…

  • Review: Gods Defense

    Review: Gods Defense

    Right up front, I’m going to explain why the title isn’t bad grammar. Because for some reason it was throwing me every time I saw it, until I started reading and went ‘oh!’ The Gods Defense is what someone dubbed the excuse a criminal could use when the gods made them commit a crime. Sort…
