[Spotlight Post] Bond. James Bond.
So, this week I’m doing a slightly non-traditional spotlight post. We went to see Skyfall last night… and I have to talk about James Bond. I really do. Though if Alan J. Porter’s book had been done by now… ah, well, maybe next year. [asa]B009FBX5M0[/asa] James Bond has played a significant role in my life. […]
[Spotlight Post] HAVE You Met Rachel Caine?
I realized last night as Jimmy and I plowed through the Hurst, TX Barnes & Noble to the Teen Paranormal section to get Bitter Blood that I hadn’t yet done a spotlight on one my favorite authors and – honestly – people, Rachel Caine. BAD!!! Bad, Rhonda!!! [asa]0451238117[/asa] If you haven’t read Rachel Caine yet, […]
[Spotlight Post] Joe R. Lansdale
My spotlight is a little late today, but it’s still Friday, so I’m going to count it. It’s been a week of distractions, families, and dogs needing attention. But it’s time for a spotlight…and by golly…it’s going to get done. I was given a heads up on a review for Fresh Blood Old Bones. It […]
[Spotlight Post] Mark Finn – Author and Force of Nature
This week’s spotlight is one final nod to Dallas Comic Con’s Fan Days, and no, I’m not bringing up the actors again. It’s time to move on. But…I found out fairly late in the game that one of my co-conspirators (I mean collaborators) was also part of the show, only upstairs in the artist alley […]
[Spotlight Post] Apologies
I’m so sorry. I missed Friday’s spotlight post because I was setting up and starting Dallas Comic Con’s Fan Days. It’s over now, but it was AWESOME. I met new people. Got to be a geeky fangirl. I sold books to people who both know me and DON’T know me. (Mostly DON’T know me.) And […]
[Spotlight Post] Dallas Fan Days
It’s spotlight day on ye olde blog, and I’m at a complete loss. Not overly surprising to some. It’s been a very transitionary couple of weeks. I’m gearing up for Fan Days in Irving, TX. I’m not exactly sure what to actually call it. It seems like they’re moving away from SCI FI EXPO and […]
[Spotlight Post] Karl Schroeder — Is it or Isn’t it Steampunk?
This week’s spotlight is kind of a work in progress – and also a flashback to FenCon. We brought in a well-known Canadian author to run our writer’s workshop. And found out he’s not as well-known…HERE, but he’s a great guy and though I haven’t read all of one of his books, I like what […]
[Spotlight Post] The Music of John Anealio
I haven’t done a whole lot of musicians in my spotlight posts, mostly because I haven’t worked with many recently. So this week, I’m featuring John Anealio. I mentioned him in the FenCon post, but his music deserves more attention. John Anealio isn’t a “filker”. We’re calling his music “Nerd Rock” – kind of like […]
[Spotlight Post] This Post Intentionally Left Blank
I am sorry to say there will be no spotlight this week. FenCon starts today, and though I should’ve been better prepared and had a spotlight ready to go…I didn’t. There are so many awesome people attending FenCon this weekend, that it wouldn’t be fair to spotlight just one. Though I am now a big […]
[Spotlight Post] Elvis the R.E.A.D. Therarpy Dog
This week’s spotlight isn’t on a person or even an event – even though FenCon is (gulp) next week. But if you’re looking for a really good SF convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth, come check it out September 21-23, 2012. But… to this week’s Spotlight is on ELVIS… no not the legendary singer, Elvis the […]
