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.

Books I’m Eyeing

  Books I’m Eyeing is a (hopefully) weekly series wherein I show you the books that have intrigued me, and the blogs and reviews we can all blame that on. My goal is to make my library hate me because of all the holds I have placed. This feature will show you just how I’m accomplishing…

Books Recieved

I see a lot of websites giving general nods to the books they get in the mail. I think that’s a good idea. I get a lot of books in the mail, and it takes me time to get to them all, so the least these publishers and authors deserve is a public nod while…
