Flashback Friday: Mythadventures
Another Fine Myth, the first book of many in the Mythadventures by Robert Lynn Aspirin, and later, Jody Lynn Nye was my first journey into punny, comical fantasy. Most of what I read in middle school was of a more Read More…
Flashback Friday: Magician Apprentice
When I first read Magician: Apprentice, the first novel in Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Saga, it actually wasn’t called Magician: Apprentice. It, and it’s sequel, Magician: Master (Riftwar Saga, Book 2), were published together in one massive volume simply entitled, Read More…
Flashback Friday: Depression & a Dragon
Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn was probably the longest fantasy novel I read in middle school. Sitting at 576 pages, it’s truly an epic fantasy novel. Length of novels didn’t intimidate me. As a middle schooler, I devoured books like Read More…
Flashback Friday: A Trilogy of Magic and Love

I’ve decided that in honor of all the Throwback Thursday things people have been doing online, I’m going to begin a Flashback Friday post where I review a novel I read back when I was a child. Sort of a Read More…
The Bottlery & The Buttery
The Internet has certainly made finding information so much easier than when I first began writing. I used to have piles and piles of research books, but now I tend to search online for topics I’m researching. Not all fantasy Read More…
2014…such lofty goals I have!
I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. Neither does science for that matter! There are a few things you can do to succeed at your resolutions, but I prefer to set goals. The difference in setting goals is that I Read More…
