Stoke the Flames Higher
It’s not often I will say ‘buy this book!’ on the day it’s released, but Stoke the Flames Higher, like all of Peter Grant’s other books, is worthy of a little excitement. The fifth in the Maxwell series, but don’t let that stop you if you haven’t read the others before. Peter is very good…

Popular Science Fiction
As I was sitting in my first class yesterday listening to my professor introduce himself, I had two thoughts. One, this is going to be a fun class. Two? well, that was spawned by watching his powerpoint slides as he talked. He discussed the class, pointed out that one fun thing he likes to do…

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,…

Fanboy and Cosplay
Since I promised my younglings cosplay pictures, I took as many as I could. It’s always great fun to see the costumes people dress up in, and the fandoms they pay tribute to! tion

A Call to Kipple
Alma Boykin, who writes delightful Russian fairytales brought to the New World, put out a call to kipple this morning. I was drawn to my bookshelves almost immediately. There was a small matter of coffee to be made, and drunk, first, and the dog to be cared for. But once I’d completed the short morning…

Review: Company Daughter
I picked up Company Daughter, in spite of the cover, because I like to cook. Since you don’t see a lot of emphasis on cooking in science fiction, I was curious how this book would incorporate that element into the tale. It languished in my TBR pile for a long time, and I finally picked…

Review: One Blood
It’s sad, but the truth is that the second, third, and so forth books in a series just don’t get as many reviews as the first one. Which makes sense, really. After all, if you get a reader hooked on the first book, they are going to happily hunt for the second, and so on.…

Review: Honor from Ashes
I haven’t been able to read – no time! – for about two weeks. I made the time for this book. First, I’d been looking forward to Honor from Ashes, the third book in the Honor and Duty series. Second, I really needed some relaxation time and I knew that this book would be well-enough written…

Art Stories, with a special guest appearance
I was delighted to learn that my daily art yesterday reminded Julie Pascal of a story she had written. You can read it at her blog, and I recommend you do, it’s very good. Like many short pieces, it will leave you thinking ‘what comes next?’ but it’s satisfying in its entirety. The Ship was all…

Eat This While You Read That: Tedd Roberts
In with the traditional novel-length writers, I’ve sprinkled a few folks who are more difficult to stuff into a pigeonhole. This man is certainly not a person you can define with a single role. Or sentence. Renowned scientist, science fiction fan, and author of short stories and numerous science articles related to science fiction topics,…
