Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
I'll be honest, I totally judged this book by its cover because its cover is freaking awesome. A woman and her monster bird? Sign me up! cover art by Jaime Jones Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee (published April 2023 by Tordotcom Publishing) is more than just an awesome cover. It's a fantastic book, as evidenced...

Ten(ish) books I got a kick out of in 2021
[Note: Having trouble uploading the pics for this post. I'll try to add them later] Today is my thirteenth day in Australia. It's the thirteenth of seventy-five days of summer, the thirteenth of seventy-five days to spend with my person, the thirteenth day of waking up and realizing I did it. I left the cozy...

I've recently become something of a Goodreads addict. For those of you who don't know Goodreads is like Facebook for people who read a lot. You can rate, review, and recommend books to your friends. You can find new books that you might not otherwise have heard of. You can keep track of all the... Continue Reading →
Because I'm feeling lazy and it's been two weeks since I wrote about Day One, I'm going to go ahead and lump the rest of my experiences of World Fantasy Convention into one single post. Also, read Days Zero and One for context. Day Two I started the day by finishing a short story that... Continue Reading →

I'm well into my revisions so when I say writing, it's mostly careful reading... Continue Reading →

As my regular readers know, I recently finished reading a Cornelia Funke book. I generally need a day or two to recover from reading one of her books, so now that a couple days have past it's time to choose a new book to read. That shouldn't be to difficult right? I've got about a... Continue Reading →
Some of my favorite books growing up were written by the fabulous Cornelia Funke. They were funny, beautifully detailed, filled with rich and wonderful characters and they felt so real that often times I felt as though I had to read with my eyes closed. Which I realize makes no sense. You can't read with your... Continue Reading →
I've just learned that the wonderful L.A. Meyer, author of the Jacky Faber books, has passed away due to complications from refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma. For those who haven't read his books, go out and buy them now. They are the most wonderful adventure stories, starring the charming Jacky Faber - a strong, independent, and troublesome young...
