Yeah, it’s a tongue-in-cheek title. — It seems like every year at this time I have a love-hate relationship with the internet. The Hugo Awards are open for nomination, and the internet divides into factions: Those who love the Hugos, and those who hate them. Both factions talk ad naseum about the award and why…

Honestly, I have put off writing this “review” quite a few times. I don’t know how to go about doing it. Myke Cole is one of those rare authors who has sort of flourished at the same time as my reviewing started to take wing. It’s been a pretty cool journey for him, and it’s…

A few things are going on today:  1. My (very late) installment of Special Needs in Strange Worlds is posted. I am (desperately) trying (and failing) to start a discussion… so go participate or something. 2. You can find me over on the SF Signal Podcast. My mic was cutting out, but you can hear…

I’ve never been a person who was into easy reading. Popcorn books have never been my thing. I enjoy my literature deeper, darker, and with a nice bite. That’s just how I roll. However, with recent life events, I’ve found myself turning to those short, sweet, fun books more often than I ever really have…

Whew… what a week. Getting used to waking up at the crack of dawn (actually, the moon is still shining bright when I go to work) is taking some getting used to. I had to wake up at 3:30am today, which is why the blog was silent. I’m still pathetically behind on Special Needs in…

About the Book We’re Supernatural Protection & Investigations, known as SPI. Things that go bump in the night, the monsters you thought didn’t exist? We battle them and keep you safe.
