The nitty-gritty: Outrageous, terrifying, hysterically funny and completely original, this book will make you laugh and scream in the same breath. Jack Sparks wasn’t on my radar until I had read a couple of rave reviews, and when I received a surprise copy of the book from Orbit, I knew it was fate. The Last […]

I may or may not get a review up this week, and so I thought I’d do something different, since I haven’t had a discussion post in quite some time. As we all know, social media is full of land mines, and any misstep could result in negative consequences. I’ve had this blog going for over […]
The nitty-gritty: A luminous story filled with magic, friendship, love and diversity, beautifully written. The idea of being called Miss or Ms. or, worse, Mrs. The thought of being grouped in when someone called out girls or ladies. The endless, echoing use of she and her, miss and ma’am. Yes, they were words. They were […]

I swear I just posted my September What’s On My Plate, at least that’s what it feels like! Hey, happy October everyone! I love this month, and I’m looking forward to some creepy horror reads and (hopefully) cooler weather. I didn’t quite get to everything I wanted to last month, and October is even crazier […]
The nitty-gritty: A strange and thought-provoking story about loneliness and what it means to be human. For me, memory is not only at times flawed and corrupted but also overlapped and confused, one personality hiding parts of another, blending too, so that the selves within my head sometimes seem many-headed and monstrous or deformed and […]

It’s my pleasure to welcome debut author S.C. Flynn to the blog today! His novel Children of the Different has just hit the streets, and he’s kindly answered some of my questions. I’m always curious about self-published writers and what drives them, and after reading Stuart’s interview my respect for him has grown. So with […]
The nitty-gritty: A unique tale with glimmers of magic and wonder, but with some writing inconsistencies that distracted from the story. The city was a huge place of death with very little life. He could not sense the ghosts of the dead, but they had to be out there. And what about the ghosts of […]
