And here is another Black Hare press anthology, you all should know the drill by now! I have five micro fiction stories in this one and a few I'm honestly pretty proud of. I'll have the list below like always. As with the other anthologies, I'm alongside 100+ other authors and their terrifying little yarns. … Continue reading Book Release: Monsters

A Small Reflection & Writing Stats
So, I'm going to do something different with this writing update and talk about how I started writing. I honestly haven't given it much thought, so this is as good as any to wax a bit on that escalation of events. This was also partly inspired by a friend who recently gave an update on … Continue reading A Small Reflection & Writing Stats
Book Release: ANGELS
I said stay tuned and here is another of the Black Hare Press anthologies(that I'm in)! It releases today from Amazon and contains another five of my drabbles! I'll post the title list below as I did last time at the bottom. My own drabbles for this edition cover angels of death, strife in heaven, … Continue reading Book Release: ANGELS
Book release: WORLDS
Today is release day for the anthology which I am in! It has been a long time, since I have been in an anthology and I'm thrilled that I was accepted into it. So, if you noticed my updated "Publications page" you'll find this anthology listed there, since I have a handful of micro fiction … Continue reading Book release: WORLDS
2018: A Review
So, this is much overdue and I won't even be able to cover everything that I want to cover here, like reading/writing stats and everything else. (I'll cover this in January.) What I do want to take a moment to reflect on is everything that happened in 2018 and what I am looking forward to in … Continue reading 2018: A Review
Review: The Stone Sky
So, in case you aren't up to speed with this triology you can refer back to the reviews I did on The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate. This is also my first review concerning any of the Hugo novel finalists. I just found out yesterday that The Stone Sky won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and boy … Continue reading Review: The Stone Sky
Review: The Obelisk Gate
I reviewed The Fifth Season a while ago, and I told myself I would return to this series eventually and boy was I in for a treat when I finally did! Obviously, I had to read this before I could get to The Stone Sky, for the Hugos, but I also just wanted to see if … Continue reading Review: The Obelisk Gate
Review: The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)
This review has been waiting for a long time, but it has been so long since I have read such a satisfying trilogy of stories. Binti rushes home when her village is attacked by Koush soldiers and it will be up to her to broker a peace between them and the Meduse. Her efforts may … Continue reading Review: The Night Masquerade (Binti #3)
Hugo Nominations 2017: Best Novellas
These Novella finalists were even harder to judge, but I enjoyed them all! Sorry it took so long to get through them. Great reads to be had here and they are really showing me the breadth of current fantasy and science fiction. The field of genre is wide and varied! I've linked these back to … Continue reading Hugo Nominations 2017: Best Novellas
Review: Ready Player One
Man, do I have some mixed feelings about this book. There's a lot to unpack here, but at the same time(with no disrespect to Earnest Cline) I don't believe the work is meant to be all that deep. Ready Player One is a love letter to geek culture and all the franchises birthed in the 80s … Continue reading Review: Ready Player One
