18th November 2009 | 3 Comments

This month on the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour we are featuring Curse of the Spider King by Wayne Batson and Christopher Hopper.  Wow, that’s a lot of links in the first sentence!   This is a mid-grade Christian fantasy published by Thomas Nelson publishers.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog tour for [...]


I’ve been seduced

10th November 2009 | 3 Comments

The Nook by Barnes & Nobel has totally sucked me in.  Totally and utterly seduced me.  I want it like a fat kid wants cake.  I need to have it and need to have it soon.  Which means most likely after Christmas.  Because the Nook is $259.00 before adding the cool accessories, which include a [...]


Just watched V on ABC.com

7th November 2009 | 0 Comments

I liked it!  First off, I never saw the original V.  That was before I was into science fiction/fantasy stuff.  A bonus for me is that many of the characters I was introduced to in the first episode were from shows I was a fan of and are either off the air or I can’t [...]


Currently lusting after…

…the Amazon Kindle.   Or maybe the Sony Reader. Or maybe the Barnes & Noble Nook.  It used to be I was seriously dead set against it. I’m a reader who loves the printed page. Though I’ve purchased them, I’ve never really enjoyed reading e-books on my computer. Number one, I’m tied [...]


The perfect amount of snark

This ‘book trailer’ cracked me up!  Thanks to Smart Bitches and Maggie Stiefvater I now have a few more books to get and add to my ‘to read’ list.


I *heart* Science Fiction & Fantasy

I am also Christian.  Many times the two don’t seem to mix.  But Jeff Gerke has created something quite amazing with Marcher Lord Press (I’ve purchased and enjoyed several of their books).  And now he is doing something even more exciting!  Check it out!

So what’s up with that?

17th October 2009 | 1 Comment

I was reading through all my files and notes on Tama and Zed’s story.  Hmmm…
There are two different stories in there.  The characters, and their voices, are the same.  The plots? Not so much.  Two wildly different ends of the spectrum.
Where the heck was I going with these? I love them both because they both [...]


Back to the book

13th October 2009 | 0 Comments

So a few years back I had a two really good ideas for two books.  Worked them over in my head a few times, wrote a few chapters and had them reviewed by a crit group I was in.  Today I opened both files – one of them had been updated last in 2005.
One of [...]


Facebook killed the blog

12th October 2009 | 1 Comment

Today I deleted all my ‘non’ essential apps from Facebook.  By non essential I mean the apps that don’t involve any thought whatsoever.  The ones that you just click the button like Mafia Wars.  The ones that you just buy and sell stuff, like Farmville and Yoville.  I kept Lexulous because my favorite girl cousins [...]


Only seems fitting

8th August 2009 | 0 Comments

So much has changed in my life over the past year or so.  I’ve been trying to learn to bloom where I have been planted.  Frankly I’ve kind of sucked at it but I keep trying because, hey, isn’t that the point?
Because there have been so many changes.  Because I am not the person I [...]
