I am a book blogger and the owner of Bookworm Blues - a popular speculative fiction book review website. I have been a compulsive reader all my life. Early on found my reading niche in the fantastic genre of Speculative Fiction. I blame my active imagination for the hobbies that threaten to consume my life. A freelance writer and photographer, world traveler and recent college graduate, I'm also a new mother, cancer fighter & survivor. In my ideal world, I'd do nothing but drink lots of tea and read from a never ending pile of speculative fiction books. Respected as a reviewer, I receive book ARCs from all of the major and most minor publishers in science fiction and fantasy. But given my love of stories, I've always wanted to be a part of the creative process, and editing is my first step in that direction.

Books I’m Eyeing is a weekly feature where I show you the books that have caught my eye, and the blogs that made me want to read them. The goal of this is to show you the websites that routinely have great content and top notch reviews and interviews. It is also my way to…

Cover Art Reveal | Dreamwalker – C.S. Friedman

There isn’t much that gets me more excited than a new C.S. Friedman book (Okay, a new K.J. Parker book would probably get me this excited, too.). Friedman was one of the first authors I read when I really started exploring the genre. Her books are deeper and darker than the typical, which is absolutely…

Anthology Update

I’ve been plugging away at the anthology project. Most of the work has been research, talking to informed parties, drafting up letters, contracts, plans of action, timelines, and various other fun things. I haven’t talked much about it, because honestly, what has been going on so far isn’t that exciting. That being said, I do…

REVIEWER’S CHOICE AWARD…?

There are a few things that are currently annoying me about the genre. The one at the top of my list is how so many of us reviewers are so incredibly into the genre in every way, shape, and form, yet we never get to be included in it. We don’t get to go to…

Vicious – V.E. Schwab

About the Book A masterful, twisted tale of ambition, jealousy, betrayal, and superpowers, set in a near-future world. Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events…

What would YOU ask Wesley Chu?

I have been thinking about how to make interviews more interesting and I had an idea over the weekend. What if I solicited my readers, or fans of the authors I’m interviewing, for questions? There are a few reasons for this. First, authors tend to get asked the same questions over and over again. What…

The Making of a Cover – And a Question

I know next to nothing about cover art, how it is chosen, how people make it… nothing. I’m fascinated by the process, but I’m absolutely the most ignorant person ever. I’m trying to learn more. I’m a nerd like that. Anyway, one thing about cover art that I’ve noticed is that covers are featuring more…

Random Speed Review

Today I’m doing something a little different. I’m going to post short reviews of numerous books. Why? Because I’m amazingly behind, and this will be the only way to even partially catch up. It’s crazy to think that even though my life was crazy between January – June (cancer treatment, two surgeries, etc.), I’m STILL…
