Though very different than the previous 2 (a change in lead characters will do that), this was just as engaging (and spicy) of a story. And now, the conclusion.

In the graphic novel "Heart Attack," Jill and Charlie have special abilities...and thus special enemies. I wonder if this is an allegory for anything?

Anyway, if you'd like to learn more (about this comic, and bigotry), check out this exclusive Q&A with "Attack" writer Shawn Kittelsen and artist Eric Zawadzki

While most authors cite other books as being influences on theirs, in my interview with writer Brent Lambert about his epic urban fantasy novella "A Necessary Chaos," he also cites a dark comedic action movie and a hip-hop-influenced R&B song.

A very mixed bag; don't think I'll read any more of his books.

It's a fine line between love and hate, and no lines are finer than the ones in war. In my new interview with writer Paul Vidich, he explains how his romantic spy novel "Beirut Station is, "A love story within a war story."

Despite the change in lead characters, this novel is, so far, as energetic and interesting as the previous two, and in the same way.

Really fun and exciting (and a little spicy) story. On to the next book.

If anyone wants one, I have extra invites to BlueSky and Pebble.
