Here again, my love of Twitter introduced me to a new (to me) author: @TheShannonMayer. She is fun and friendly there, and shares lots of interesting links. She’s been pretty prolific over the past year or so, though the majority of her work deals in zombies–something I’m not particularly keen on. Then she decided to … Book Review: Dark Waters
This book review request actually came at a time when I was debating whether I should buy the book outright. I’m friends with @lianabrooks on Twitter and have enjoyed her blog posts on science-related topics and her wry tweeting style for some time. Plus, her whole thing with socks just cracks me up. I’m just … Book Review: Even Villains Fall in Love
This hardcover caught my eye in a bargain bin a few years back; I enjoy foreign literature, and this had been translated from original Dutch version written by Arthur Japin. It is billed as historical fiction, pieced together on thin fact surrounding the legendary Giacomo Casanova. According to the cover flap text: She is a … Book Review: In Lucia’s Eyes
I know I missed blogging Friday. Had a right little snit over it too — too many things scheduled and just not enough time to both read and write. A girl has to have her priorities, so I just read a little more. What I read whipped me away on a delightful journey to a … Book Review: Journey in Bhutan
I’m not typically a big fan of murder stories–probably to do with an overactive imagination that will easily project blood, gore, and evil intent on my own world with only slight provocation–but Jane Isaac is part of a small circle of authors who’ve been inordinately supportive of my own efforts, so it seemed only fair … Book Review: An Unfamiliar Murder
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming. Despite all my intentions to the contrary, I did get to read at least a few books in between all the writing and editing of the past two months… Sneaking in other people’s words like the true bookaholic I know myself to be. And I always said… … Book Review: Incorporeal
Once again, I have to say: I feel lucky for having found a great group of mutually supportive writers via Twitter/Triberr. In this specific case, Barbara Rose (who also writes as Barbara Mack, whose book Chasing the Sunset I reviewed a few months back) has released a new young adult fantasy. She was kind enough … Book Review: My Dead Boyfriend
I have to admit to being a little overbooked (no pun intended!) these past few weeks. I’ve missed reading for review as I’ve been focused on reading for editing–both my own and freelance assignments. So I’m back to digging in my shelves for old favorites that deserve yet another bit of publicity. For this installment, … Book Review: Shield of Three Lions
I started reading Jane Lindskold‘s novels when we lived in New Mexico, and I was all enamored with the fact that I lived palpably close to a bestselling author–who was as enamored of wolves as I was. I thoroughly enjoyed her Wolf series, and have both reread it and loaned it out a few times. … Book Review: The Buried Pyramid
Once again my Twitter addiction paid off for me: on February 20, @prmason reminded all her followers: “Entanglements (a full-length urban fantasy/paranormal romance) FREE for only a few more hours at Amazon.” I hadn’t actually read any of her other work, and I always enjoy a good urban fantasy, so I wandered over to Amazon … Book Review: Entanglements
