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.

Yet another poet I "discovered" in "The New Yorker," only to find out they've been around for years and have many books.

Super good collection of , especially the long one towards the end, "The Wind And More."

In my exclusive interview with author Suzan Palumbo about her short story collection "Skin Thief," she talks about how her writing so much about "queer women who were shapeshifters" made her wonder if she's "working out some unresolved issues."

As I hoped / suspected, this is shaping up to be a very entertaining and energetic story...and series.

Excited to start this series. First up, this gripping prequel story.

If, as they say, you should write what you know, someone should check on writer Naben Ruthnum, since his new novel, "The Grimmer," is a YA horror story about a "...demonic resurrectionist body-snatcher." To find out more, check out this exclusive Q&A.

Well, that was very clever and energetic, and also rather delightful. His most delightful book, actually. Must be the cats.

Always love — like his epic "Bettina Coffin," and the beginning of this book — that seem like they'd be super cool to hear read out loud.

Having written two YA novels, author Ava Morgyn is getting more adult with her Gothic urban fantasy horror mystery romance novel "The Witches Of Bone Hill." To find out why, and how (and also, doggies!), check out this exclusive interview.

So far this is entertaining in a very Scalzi way, though it's giving me some Grady Hendrix vibes as well.
