Book Log #33: Revealed, by Kate Noble
When the fine ladies at Smart Bitches Trashy Books recently gave high marks to Kate Noble’s The Summer of You, I went out to research this lady–and leapt with great abandon upon Revealed, her second book, which you should definitely read if you wish to read The Summer of You, since the two are linked…

CoyoteCon reminder, and status update
Do y’all know how weird it is to be able to actually say “I’m on a PANEL”? ‘Cause, y’know, it is! I’m sure it’d be weirder if it were a big-time physical face to face type convention, but you know what? A virtual convention is still pretty damned awesome. And tomorrow–okay, today, since it’s after…

Six days till Sherwood Forest!
Much to my amusement, found Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood movie while channelsurfing tonight, which of course leads me to further squealing over the Russell Crowe one I shall be going to ogle in six scant days! I am, of course, going next weekend. Folks local to Seattle or points immediately nearby are hereby invited to…

Book Log #32: Compromised, by Kate Noble
Kate Noble came highly, highly recommended on Smart Bitches Trashy Books, and so I went and grabbed the sample of Compromised off Barnes and Noble’s ebook site. I can say right out that Ms. Noble’s overall writing style in that sample hooked me into buying all three of her available books; it’s a bit cliched,…

Book Log #31: Crescent, by Phil Rossi
Phil Rossi’s Crescent was a bit of an odd read for me. I started off with actually listening to the podcast version, but partway through decided to go ahead and switch over to reading the Kindle edition. So this is a bit of a hybrid review. Salvage pilot Gerard Evans accepts a job working for…

My post for Maynowrimo, on motivation
Those of you who’ve seen the Drollerie Blog Tour posts I’ve done may recall my fellow Drollerie author, Joely Sue Burkhart, with whom I appear in the anthology Defiance. She’s also the author of Beautiful Death and several other works from Drollerie, and she has a new work coming out from Carina Press this year.…

And print books for Anna too
You know how I said I was going to Third Place this afternoon because they had a warehouse sale in progress? Well, I went. And while the warehouse sale actually didn’t have anything I wanted, I nevertheless seem to have walked out with four books anyway: The City & the City, by China Mievelle, because…

Yet more ebooks for Anna
I’m really kind of bummed that Fictionwise has gotten a lot less interesting now that the various publishers are implementing agency pricing; a lot of the electronic books I’ve wanted to buy have vanished out of Fictionwise’s database, and they’ve cut back hard on handing out rebates as well. So now it’s turned out that…

Book Log #30: Changes, by Jim Butcher
I am a diehard Dresden Files fan, and with each successive book, I’ve gone in expecting to be thoroughly entertained. This time around I was not. I was absolutely mindblown. ETA: Putting a cut tag in here because while I’m not revealing anything that isn’t revealed on Jim’s own site in the blurb for the…

CoyoteCon and Maynowrimo are GO
If y’all have been following the news from Drollerie Press lately, you may already be aware of this–but just in case you aren’t, we’re having us a month-long online writers’ convention called CoyoteCon! It’s just like a physical convention, with panels and guest speakers and everything, but this convention doesn’t require you to shell out…
