[Spotlight Post] Thanksgiving 2012 Edition
I’m cheating on this week’s Spotlight post. Since it’s the day after Thanksgiving and my Wednesday post was a rant, I’m going to spotlight what I’m thankful for this year – and well, all the time. First of all, I’m thankful for a supportive family who has suck by me in my employment challenges of […]
[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] 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 […]
[Spotlight Post] Nicole Pellegrini – Renaissance Woman
This has to be a fast spotlight because today is super busy. About to head eastward for the East Texas Book Festival tomorrow, and I’m not even packed yet. Yikes. So I’m not even going to be able to mention all the things she does, is, and everything… This week’s spotlight post is on Nicole […]
[Spotlight Post] Marilyn Eudaly – Rising Talent and Birthday Girl
So Friday is spotlight day. And after a week of hectic running around, housecleaning, family birthdays–with one still to go which means I have to keep the house clean until Monday–and it’s a gray, gloomy day before a 3-day weekend. I admit to being a bit at a loss of who or what to spotlight. […]
[Spotlight Post] Rosemary Clement-Moore
I’ve written about Rosemary Clement-Moore, or at least about one of her books. She deserves a revisit -as an all-around writer instead of a project specific thing. So, today, we take another look at Rosemary. Though MAYBE I should have waited since, according to Amazon, she has an omnibus of a couple of the Maggie […]
