Review: Space Junque

Today on Twitter, @evilmynx @PavartiKTyler shared a review of a book currently on sale at Amazon… for FREE. I’m a sucker for free, given all our many expenses, and Pavarti’s review was so good I had to see for myself what the fuss was about. It was totally worth the gushing! I had a hard…

Review: Brighid’s Cross

Author Cate Morgan contacted me to review this novella in advance of its official release, November 1. Since I’m a sucker for a good fantasy–and for supporting a new author’s release promotion efforts, I dove in to the ARC she forwarded me this evening. And was rewarded with a tightly woven, almost lyrical bit of…

And Justice for Some

For those of you who have followed me for a while, you already know that while my husband and I were enjoying ourselves at his niece’s wedding in August, we decided to take a romantic, moonlit walk together… where my husband fell into a 10′ bunker while we were in sight of a well-lit party…

Review: The Whole Truth

Author Jim Murdoch contacted me to review the omnibus edition of his two paperbacks, Living with the Truth and Stranger Than Fiction, which he’s released as an eBook, available only via Smashwords. In specific, he was looking for a critique of the story arc across the two books. From that perspective, this is an easy…

Author Interview: Sam Dei Lune

Since I’ve been keeping an eye open for these things on Twitter, I’ve found another indie author interview opportunity (don’t think “victim” here, I’ll hear you!): @SDeiLune. She’s not only releasing her first novel, but has also been asked to write the novel version of an upcoming major motion picture. (Color me star-struck, here!) 1….

Author Interview: Catherine Mintz

As part of my ongoing series of interviews with indie authors, I’ve been paying more attention on Twitter to authors who are working on upcoming releases. A few weeks back Catherine Mintz (@CatherineMintz) mentioned about getting ready to release a new book, so I offered her the opportunity for a pre-publication interview. I now present…

Review: A Spy At Home

Author Joseph Rinaldo contacted me to review this and sent me a PDF to be able to read it on my iPad. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, given the wide range of seemingly divergent tags on the book’s Amazon page (ranging from bereavement, to embezzlement, to mental retardation, to fishing, to espionage) and…

Review: Derby Scribes 2011 – Short Stories

Hill. In general, I shy…

Review: The White Queen

I’ve read several Philippa Gregory novels, and typically really enjoy the work she’s put into researching and characterizing the historical and fictional personages that populate her novels. I like that that she focuses on women of ambiguous character with complex motivations and explores them within the context of the time in which the stories are…

Review: Lastborn

This was another review request that languished on my to-read pile for a while. Author Rachel Forde contacted me via this blog with a short and sweet introduction and request. According to Amazon, the book was released in early July, and has already earned an accolade: the ePublishing Consortium‘s Writing Award. That last seems a…
