[Spotlight Post][Pen/Pencil Review] Regularly Scheduled Blogging
Yes, I realize I missed TWO blogs last week. I was on staff of LoneStarCon 3 – aka WorldCon. I ran my feet to the nubs. Friday I could’ve sworn it was Saturday – and Monday we were tearing down and traveling. I know I should’ve had prepared blogs, but alas, I did not. I […]
[Spotlight Post] Cynthia Dickinson – We’ll Miss You
It’s Friday. I should be writing a spotlight. I don’t know that I have it in me today. After I wrote the memorial for Jo Pesheck last week, I learned about the loss of Cynthia Dickinson. Cynthia Dickinson was a regional artist who was an inspiration. I mentioned her on Facebook. She was not only […]
[Spotlight Post] Jo Peshek – Rest In Peace
It’s with a sad and heavy heart that I write today’s spotlight. A good friend to me and to the science fiction literary community passed away yesterday.

[Spotlight Post] John Ringo
It’s spotlight Friday, and I’m doing this – “I have 20 minutes left of lunch, what do I do?†I’m currently reading Unto the Breach by John Ringo. Yes, this is an older book. Published in 2006. I’ve had it in my possession since 2008 when John Ringo gave it to me at SoonerCon. Yeah, […]
[Spotlight Post] Kidd Kraddick – Gone But Not Forgotten
So, it’s Friday. I wondered what I was going to write about this week – the John Ringo novel I’m reading, a charity that does good work? And then this morning my brain said, “No, you’re going to be one of the thousands talking about Kidd Kraddick this week.†I’m a radio brat. Most people […]

[Spotlight Post] The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by de Lint and Vess
It’s Friday – and I’m supposed to be coming up with a Spotlight. “Supposed†to being an operative word. Between allergy meds and some “people suck†news. I think I’ll just tell you about the book I’m currently reading. I do know that, in fact, MOST people do not suck, but the ones that do? […]
[Spotlight Post] A Follow Spot Post of Several People
It’s a Spotlight Friday… and this has been a strange week, so I think I’m going to do a “shotgun†spotlight post and do shout outs to a several people – most of whom have been in a spotlight before but have my attention at the moment. Congratulations to Rachel Caine for the successful completion […]
