I have a headache tonight. The kind of headache that’s making me want to drill a hole in my head so I can let off some of the pressure. Or stick a fork in my eye to give me something else to think about. So you aren’t getting a review. I can’t think straight. You…

Mazarkis Williams is finishing up her first series, and I am a huge fan of her as a person and as an author. I asked if she would be kind enough to grace my dusty corner of the internet with a guest post, and she kindly said yes. I’m thrilled to have her, and I…

This week the genre has been reeling from the loss of Jay Lake. This has really inspired some authors in the genre to reach out and help any way they can. Ari Marmell is doing something very cool, and Michael J. Sullivan is doing a Ride to Conquer Cancer. It profoundly moves me to see these…

I jumped on the bandwagon for this book late. I have no idea how I missed the fact that Kevin J. Anderson is writing another series set in his Saga of the Seven Suns world, but I did. I punished myself for it mightily. The Saga of the Seven Suns, for those of you who pretend to care,…

DISCLAIMER This isn’t a review. I sat down and started to write a review for The Cormorant, and quickly it turned into an ode to Miriam Black and Chuck Wendig. Then I went on Goodreads and saw that, while I thought this was a trilogy, there is a fourth book planned? I probably missed the…

About the Book Hailed as “epic fantasy on a George R. R. Martin scale, but on speed” (Fixed on Fantasy), the Broken Empire trilogy introduced a bold new world of dark fantasy with the story of Jorg Ancrath’s devastating rise to power. Now, Mark Lawrence returns to the Broken Empire with the tale of a…

Life is measured by a series of moments. Today, Jay Lake died. Yesterday I was diagnosed with cancer for the third time. I never met Jay Lake in person, and we had a grand total of three or four private conversations. However, he wrote this post for my Special Needs in Strange Worlds series when…

This week has been exciting. I was interviewed on Hide and Create about writing characters with disabilities. I started an international giveaway, and I came home from a wonderful vacation. I’ve also been working on a few books that are astoundingly good so far. The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley, The Girl with All the…

I just got home from vacation and I’m fairly exhausted. I have to work in the morning, and I’m not in the mood to write a review. Therefore, GIVEAWAY. Last week the good people at Tor sent me two hardback copies of The Severed Streets by Paul Cornell. I really only need to read one….
