Stalking the Dead Storybundle!!!

May 29, 2024

I have been remiss in telling you about this Storybundle I’m in!!! URBAN SHAMAN is one of eleven releases (Two of which are box sets with multiple titles! A third of which has an additional novella! SO MANY BOOKS!!!) in this Storybundle, all supernatural detective stories of one kind or another! The first four books – Olympia Investigations by Sherry D. Ramsey, Death Coach by Sandra Wickham, Blood Kissed by Keri Arthur, and Dying on Second by E.C. Bell – are only $5 (or more if you feel like it!)…

Fiery Sunset

heartwrenched

February 22, 2024

On Wednesday, I looked at FB earlier than usual while waiting for the cat to have her morning drink of shower water, so I woke up to the utterly joyous news that a dear friend has gotten engaged to a woman who adores her and was filled with happy tears for them. And the next post carried the devastating news that novelist Steve Miller, co-author of the long-running Liaden series, died Tuesday afternoon.

Recent Reads: Starbridge

September 7, 2023

Their ship, captained by her…

I admit I’ve been kind of afraid to read it because I was afraid it would trigger an overwhelming urge to work on the sequel to MAGIC & MANNERS, and I haven’t had time to do that. But this summer she sent me the sequel, CLAWS & CONTRIVANCES, for an early read because I was having a very bad week, and she hoped it might cheer me up. So obviously…

Recent Reads: Beyond the Hallowed Sky

August 10, 2023

Recent Reads: BEYOND THE HALLOWED SKY, by Ken MacLeod I have to confess I’m…’embarrassingly far behind’ on Ken’s books isn’t sufficient; this is the first one I’ve ever read. It is already not the last, as I bought the sequel immediately, and only after the fact realized it had JUST come out. (After I read the first two chapters I was like “KEN I NEED BOOK THREE” and he was like “I HAVE NOT WRITTEN IT YET, GIVE ME SOME TIME” and, oops. O.O) Like, I mean, he’s Ken MacLeod,…
