Firstly, thanks to everyone for putting up with me twice in a month. I’m normally a lot more reclusive than this, but Lisa’s been very encouraging, and even a hermit can’t say no. :D So let’s get going, shall we? Masks: Rise of Heroes is the first of a three-novel arc (and the first of... Continue Reading →

This only happened to me three times (two for a novel, one for a short story), and I hope to experience it again because compared to the process of writing novels that aren't inspired and sustained by actual musical compositions, this (accidental? unplanned?) method tends to be a lot richer. That's with regard to the... Continue Reading →

And here we are, another week down, another pretty fantastic week in store as we race through the month of December. We're nearing the completion of our Dreamspinner Advent Calendar reviews, but that doesn't mean the end of the holidays stories we'll be featuring before the end of 2013. We've also been busy little elves,... Continue Reading →
“Fairy tales and folk tales are for children and childlike people, not because they are little and inconsequential, but because they are as enormous as life itself.” ― Anthony Esolen Crispian Butcher is a throw-away child who, at fifteen, has learned what it means to be homeless, friendless, hungry, tired with nowhere to rest.

It was an illustration of a woman in black carrying a baby, and... Continue Reading →

I'm afraid I'm going to be the odd person out on Lisa's review blog as I've got nothing GRL-related to share with everyone; however, I enjoy geeking out in a way that dusty, book-hoarding, book-fondling English majors could appreciate.
