Where Fiction and Reality Meet
“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” – Paul Boese Ooooh, back in high school, star baseball play Trevor Gardiner did the unforgiveable: He outed his boyfriend. We’re talking a forced out here. We’re talking, threw him under the team bus, backed it up and then ran over him again,... Continue Reading →

“You’re alive. If you want I can fly.” – William Goldman In the midst of conflict and the horrors of war, there is quiet. There is a certain hush, a sense of peace and silence that can be found not in the arms of battle but in the arms of someone who holds the answers... Continue Reading →

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” – Dr. Seuss Well, Ty and Zane did an awful lot of saying what they felt in this installment of the Cut & Run series. I just did an awful lot of feeling what... Continue Reading →

“Hope is a waking dream.” – Aristotle I knew as soon as I read Elyan Smith’s short story Zones in the UK MAT anthology Lashings of Sauce that he was an author whose work I wanted to know much better. Zones is the touching story of a transgender woman who is trying desperately to find... Continue Reading →

It seems the more I read, the harder it gets to find unique, so I feel really lucky that I’ve discovered more than a few books lately that have set themselves just that little bit apart from the standard in their originality; Circuit Theory is definitely one of those books. Roleplaying games aren’t a new... Continue Reading →

Some of the most painful scars, the ones that hurt the most, are the scars that can’t be seen, whether it's the end of a relationship or the end of a chapter in life that seemed like nothing but promise until, in the space of a moment, it shifted drastically and left behind the visible...

When I first saw that Amy Lane and Aleksandr Voinov were collaborating on a book, my initial reaction was, “say what?” ::gaping maw:: Fresh off of Chase in Shadow and Dark Soul, my brain was having a difficult time processing it. Then I moved on to, “but they’re writing styles are so different, how will... Continue Reading →

I want to see this series animated. Can someone get right on that, please? Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever read an Urban Fantasy that begs to be Manga-ized more than the Josh of the Damned series does. It’s like waking up on Saturday morning as a kid and getting to watch Scooby Doo, except... Continue Reading →

And they all lived. When you live a life without limits, a survival of the fittest, kill or be killed existence, what more could you possibly hope for but to live? What does happily ever after mean in the grand scheme of things, when the best you can wish for at any point in time... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure I've ever read a series before that has taunted and provoked me the way "Dark Soul" has, wanting two characters to be together more than anything else, then rethinking that, wondering if they did end up together, would they even be good or right for each other? Then again, maybe there are... Continue Reading →
The Heart's Greater Silence by Anne Brooke My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mark is a man who burns his candle at both ends. And he did so quite successfully for a while, until the two ends ultimately met and he got burnt in a most painful and consequential way. Mark is a man whose... Continue Reading →

Dark Soul by Aleksandr Voinov My rating: 5 of 5 stars I do believe Aleksandr Voinov is the only author who can push my comfort level to its very limits—and make me love it, every salacious, kinky, erotic step of the way. Anyone who’s been following this series knows that Silvio Spadaro is an entity... Continue Reading →
