ETWYRT: John Ringo
This is a repost of the recipe, to move it back onto my blog from the original platform since Otherwhere Gazette is now defunct, and to reformat the recipe to make it printable. Also, it’s delicious and bears repeating! It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve…

Bullies and Toadies
Part of my problem with blogging right now is I simply don’t know what to write about. Sure, there are big, pressing issues, like what has been happing in the SF convention world with John Ringo, Larry Correia, and a couple of years ago, Uncle Timmy. I’m honored to know all three men and have…

Double-Edged Sword of the Apocalypse
There are days that I can say and mean it from the bottom of my heart: science is scary. This is true on every day, of course, but it rarely impinges on my day-to-day reality. Kids, dogs, husband, work, writing… and then there are the science journals. The headline of this article caught my attention…

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…

Top 100 Military Science Fiction Books
I realized that although I have made many lists of books, I have never done a list for military science fiction, one of my favorite sub-genres to read. An online friend asked about recommendations, so I did what I usually do, and crowdsourced the list-making. Over 300 comments later… No, not all of them were…

ETWYRT: John Ringo
Mirror-posted from the Otherwhere Gazette: It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve been reading his books for as long as I’ve been a Baen Barfly, and that’s coming up on fifteen years now. Given the nature of the dish itself, I have to say that reading…

Easy Reading
I had something unusual happen to me yesterday (well, it started the day before, but…). I got so sucked into a story I couldn’t put it down (metaphorically, as it was online). I stopped long enough to make dinner for us, mainly because I felt guilty that I was ignoring the First Reader so I…

LibertyCon 27 AAR
First of all, I’m back, and I’m sorry for my lack of planning! I thought I would have a few minutes to put up a post Saturday and yesterday, and it didn’t happen. Next year, I will plan ahead for this. We arrived in Tennessee on Thursday, early, treating that first day as a vacation…

Favorite Free Reads!
My Mom was looking for good SF or Fantasy books, cheap FREE. So I compiled a list, with links, for her. On Basilisk Station, by David Weber Oath of Swords, also by David Weber, one of the best Epic Fantasy series out there. A Hymn Before Battle, by John Ringo, excellent military SF 1632, by…

Not Here
I learned a new word today. The First Reader, who had traveled the world in his youth, and picked up smatterings of languages, explained this one to me. The German word for sick is crunken. From there, it’s obvious where the word cranky came from. I am endeavouring not to be cranky anywhere but in…

Moving Right Along
I’m trying, as always, to keep my life scheduled and ordered… Oh, who am I kidding? It’s chaos, sorted by the pattern of a given day, and always subject to upheaval. Here on the blog, I’m going to give you an idea of what to expect, so if you only drop in for writing/publishing info,…
