[Spotlight Post] The Agatha H. Girl Genius Novels
It’s Friday Spotlight Day… It’s been yet another crazy week. BUT… tomorrow is Sci Fi Expo. We’ve been busy the last couple of weeks getting ready for back-to-back shows – as well as having friends on town, family stuff, car stuff, and other stuff.. .you know, the same-old-same-old. [asa]1469246945[/asa] I’ve just finished reading Phil and […]
[Spotlight Post] Jim Butcher – and The Dresden Files
This week’s spotlight post is in honor of a book release this week. Jim Butcher has released the newest Harry Dresden novel, and I don’t get to read it until Jimmy’s finished with it, so don’t worry – no spoilers here. And I’ve got my virtual fingers in my ears for everyone else who’s already […]
[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, […]
[Writer Blog] Series Books vs. Sequence Books
Last week I read Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore. For a reader of any age who enjoys smart and funny paranormal romance (think more ghosts and demons rather than vampires) I highly recommend Rosemary. When it comes to vampires – you can’t go wrong with Rachel Caine. Both authors are “Young Adult” but (as any […]
[Book Review] ROBOPOCALYPSE by Daniel H. Wilson via SFSIGNAL
About three weeks before I started working for John DeNardo at SFSIgnal, I won a copy of Daniel H. Wilson‘s Robopocalypse. It took me a few weeks to get to reading it due to deadlines, conventions, and another book in my queue. In that time, Robopocalypse seemed to be everywhere. I wasn’t sure I was […]
[Writer Blog] – Guilty Pleasures
Guilty Pleasures. We all have them. Mine are musicals: SCRUBS: MY MUSICAL, DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG-BLOG, Man of La Mancha, Forever Plaid, etc. I also love shows that are music intensive without being musicals, like Phineas and Ferb and MegaMind. Most of those I can probably get a “what’s so guilty about THOSE? Those shows ROCK!” […]
[Writer Blog][Book Review] Time Travel
One of the news pieces running around the internet amid stories and recaps of the Royal Wedding – but before the reports of Osama bin Laden’s end – was the announcement of China banning time travel from television and movie themes (and I presume that would extend to books as well). In their opinion, storylines […]
The St. Charles House – Stephen Banister – DarkStar Books
I know I’ve been bad about keeping up with the “What I’ve Been Reading” segments on the blog. I’m going to try to be better about that. Lately, I’ve been reading quite a bit of Young Adult stuff and enjoying it. But…I’m going to restart this segment with one of the NON Young Adult books […]
Guilty Pleasures and Working the Plan
I have a new “guilty pleasure”. Well, I’m starting a new guilty pleasure. Carolyn Hennesy’s Pandora series. I picked up the first one at Half-Price Books because of an inside joke I had with Gordon van Gelder, about Pandora. Now I want to read the rest of the series. [asa]1599902915[/asa] It’s an interesting take on […]
What I’m Reading – Media Tie In & Supermodels
I haven’t done a “what I’m reading” post in a very long time. I apologize for that, but I have been reading as well as writing. [asa]0312949251[/asa] My friend, Debbie, introduced me to this book. I read it in between Star Trek Media Tie-Ins. One I got used to the First Person Present Tense usage, […]
