The nitty-gritty: A satisfying conclusion to one of the most inventive urban fantasies out there. Going through international airport security with two prosthetic legs and a steel plate in your head isn’t exactly a piece of cake, but it’s easier than going through with a turban. – Millie Roper The Arcadia Project has been one […]

It’s been slow for the past couple weeks on the blog, due to the normal Pop Show shenanigans that happen around this time of […]

The nitty-gritty: A weird and wonderful story of colonization, survival and communication. We’d learned a lot, including one more thing. The bamboo was very friendly. Fruit appeared right away near the house where we stayed. Then one of the trunks where we’d tied our hammocks grew a shoot. Each of the new leaves had stripes […]

The nitty-gritty:  A thrilling space adventure with danger around every corner—both alien and human. Outpost is a must read for all science fiction fans. I had no expectations going into Outpost, since I have yet to read any fellow blogger reviews of this book, and so I was delighted at how much fun this was! […]

The nitty-gritty: A great mix of contemporary urban fantasy and old-fashioned mythology, with a snarky teen character who won me over. A few years ago I had the pleasure of reading Rachel A. Marks’ debut, Darkness Brutal, and I was very happy to meet her at San Diego Comic Con sometime after that. Rachel was […]
