Genre Chick Interview: Howard A. Jones

I’m not quite sure at what point I fell in love with Howard A. Jones’s novel The Desert of Souls–I could open the book to find out, but then I’d get stuck reading it all the way to the end again, and my schedule will not allow it! Suffice it to say, it was somewhere in the first two…

Genre Chick Interview: Gareth L. Powell

While today’s Month of Writers victim and I have never met in person (at least…I don’t *think* we’ve ever met in person, and if we have, then Gareth is free to blatantly trip me the next time he sees me), he and I still seem to swap a lot of chat on Twitter in the wee hours of the…

Genre Chick Interview: C. L. Holland

May’s Month of Writers continues! Today I would like to introduce you to up-and-coming SF author C.L. Holland. She doesn’t have an author photo. Or she’s wanted by Interpol. I haven’t quite figured out which yet. Oh, and she’s British…so her answers really *are* spelled correctly. **************************************** Mac or PC?

May’s Month of Writers continues — today’s victim of my little interview-questionnaire is SF author Tony Frazier. Be sure to stop by Tony’s site after this, on which he’s releasing, chapter-by-chapter, a superhero novel.

In the Company of Writers — Part One

I woke up my car this morning. It’s unique to those of is seasoned conventionistas, that grumbly sound your vehicle makes when you turn the key and politely ask it to dust off the cobwebs and rub the three-day sleep out of its gears. It’s a beautiful sound, full of shiny memories and the anticipation of seeing my own…

Princess Alethea’s Magical Elixir

New reviews are up at Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show! Title: Fuzzy Nation Author: John Scalzi EAN: 9780765328540 Admit it: it’s a strange title.
