    Author Interview with Sara Dobie Bauer

    There’s nothing better than when a fabulous author is also a lovely person and friend. I’ve been hooked on Sara Dobie Bauer’s writing since I first read Bite Somebody, and her darker work is just as enticing. Today, I picked her brain about her latest release, Escaping Exile. ABOUT THE BOOK Andrew is a vampire from…

    Disclaimer: I received a free electronic copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

  • July Wrap-Up & August Goals

    Another summer month has flown by. I’m going to be honest — my production on the creative side has been crap. Even the unbuilt LEGO sets calling my name from my guest room haven’t been motivation enough to get work done. I’m not going to stop working on the Steel Empires series. But after 4…

  • Con Report: Confluence 2018

  • Review: A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (Seducing the Sedgwicks #2) by Cat Sebastian

    I guess I’m a bit lucky coming to this book as a reader who doesn’t have a lot of experience with “Regency” romances. To me, this is merely an unexpected romance set in an historical era, so I was a lot more forgiving of aspects of the plot that seemed to bother other readers based…

  • Review: “The Steam Pump Jump” (Chronicles of St. Mary’s short) by Jodi Taylor

    This short story very much needs the context of pretty much all of the novels in the Chronicles of St. Mary’s series so far to understand the detail of what’s going on. But otherwise, it’s a “typical” St. Mary’s lark, full of the usual shenanigans and mayhem (#disastermagnets). And as an added bonus, it’s from…
