Book Cover Throwback: Weyrworld
This week’s Book Cover Throwback is from Anne McCaffrey. There’s something about an old school book cover that just makes me sing. One of my favorite hobbies as a child was crawling through the oldest parts of libraries and finding Read More…
The Sims 4: Back to Beta?
I’m calling this my Monday Night Game On! post as I don’t watch football at all and spent some of my weekend playing the new Sims 4 game. When I’m not writing sci-fi/fantasy novels, I game, be it tabletop board Read More…
Gamergate & the Boys’ Club

Flashback Friday: The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe
Flashback Friday‘s aren’t gone forever. It felt like a flashback sort of week with all that has happened. It’s almost cliché to write this Flashback Friday. Even those readers who aren’t huge SF/F fans have heard of The Lion, the Read More…
