Flashback Friday: John Bellairs
For this week’s Flashback Friday post, I’m honored to have Maia Chance, author of the Fairy Tale Fatal series, here to do a guest post on what speculative fiction novel influenced her as a writer. If you haven’t checked out Read More…
Flasbhack Friday: Ship who Sang
In all my years of conventions and conferences, I’ve never caught “Con Crud” –until Geek Girl Con. I’ve got a bit of a head cold this week, so my apologies if my Flashback Friday over The Ship Who Sang rambles Read More…
Flashback Friday: Amber
Robert Zelazny. Talk about takin’ it back old school. Nine Princes in Amber to be exact–the first in the Amber series. This series was probably the longest series I read in middle school, having given up on Xanth with Ogre, Read More…
Flashback Friday: Alice
Like most of my generation, I saw the Disney film before I read the book, wherein I fell in love with the Cheshire Cat. Lewis Carroll‘s book is quite a bit darker, which appealed to the teen-age me. But what Read More…
Flashback Friday: The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe

Flashback 451 Fourth!
The Fourth of July: Flags, patriotic songs blaring through speakers, fireworks, and beer. For many, that’s what this day represents. A chance to get drunk. A chance to grill some grub. A chance to sing “God Bless the U.S.A.”—one.more.time. Freedom Read More…
Flashback Friday: Fire in the Mist
I stumbled across Holly Lisle‘s book, Fire in the Mist by complete accident—standing in a Half Price Bookstore looking for fantasy novels involving magic. At the time, I didn’t know that this was the first novel Holly Lisle tried to get Read More…
Flashback Friday: The Eyes of the Dragon
I have an obsession with dragons. One that began long before Game of Thrones and George R. R. Martin. A friend and I were talking about this obsession a few weeks ago. We both blame it on Anne McCaffrey, but Read More…
