Paper Girls Vol. 1 Brian K. Vaughan (writer); Cliff Chiang (artist); Matt Wilson (colors); Jared K. Fletcher (letters) I’ve had the first two volumes of this series sitting on my shelf for ages, and I promise it is a sheer coincidence that I finally decided to read them now that the first episodes of theContinue reading “Book Review: Paper Girls Volumes 1-2”

Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet #3) by Madeleine L’Engle
Continuing this year’s journey to rectify a series I definitely should have read while I was growing up, I recently reviewed A Swiftly Tilting Planet for Speculative Chic. You can find my full review here. An excerpt: L’Engle has taken her previous ventures regarding science and brought them to an entirely new level here. Something aboutContinue reading “Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet #3) by Madeleine L’Engle”
Steel Time Blog Tour Round-Up
The difficult part of launching a new book while also traveling out of town to an enormous convention is that it’s difficult to promote the blog tour posts that I organized at the same time. So, here’s a handy round-up and GIANT thank you to everyone who supported Steel Empires Book 4: Steel Time byContinue reading “Steel Time Blog Tour Round-Up”
Steel Time Book Launch & Excerpt!
Happy book birthday to me! Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of the fourth book in my Steel Empires series. Steel Time is extra-special for me because time travel is one of my favorite speculative fiction motifs. Working the concept into my own expansive universe was challenging and a LOT of fun. (Unfortunately, I couldn’tContinue reading “Steel Time Book Launch & Excerpt!”

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 fromContinue reading “Review: “The Steam Pump Jump” (Chronicles of St. Mary’s short) by Jodi Taylor”
Review: “The Battersea Barricades” (Chronicles of St. Mary’s short story) by Jodi Taylor
Finally, some “history” of the world of St. Mary’s! Taylor’s authorial voice makes pages and pages of expository narrative delightful rather than boring. Even more fascinating, this time she’s not talking about something “real” — this time the historical events are all from her imagination. I loved every intricate detail of it. The more specificContinue reading “Review: “The Battersea Barricades” (Chronicles of St. Mary’s short story) by Jodi Taylor”
Review: An Argumentation of Historians (Chronicles of St. Mary’s #9) by Jodi Taylor
Call me blasphemous, because I am a huge fan of this series…but I’m getting a bit bored with fighting Clive Ronan. I still enjoyed the hell out of this book, despite the slow start. One thing I did appreciate about it is seeing the evolution of St. Mary’s relationship with the Time Police. They’ll neverContinue reading “Review: An Argumentation of Historians (Chronicles of St. Mary’s #9) by Jodi Taylor”
