Review: The World Awakening
The World Awakening is a satisfying conclusion to the Gateways to Alissia trilogy. I’m sad to see it go but had fun while in country. Highly recommended.
Review: I Hate Fairyland 1 – 16
Cutest killing machine goes through a beautiful land of fairy to make us laugh and cringe. Highly recommended.
Review: The Gone World
Some novels take their time to build; some start with a sprint and keep going from there. The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch falls in the second category. The prologue packs a ton of ideas and hooked me immediately. It set a very high standard that the rest of the book surpassed. Mr. Sweterlitsch mixed … Continue reading Review: The Gone World
Review: The Ballad of Black Tom
Fiction at its best lets us experience a life different than our own. It expands our perspective and allows us to practice empathy. If we're mindful, we can learn about the marginalized, about the oppressed, and about those who struggle daily to survive. A good story can show us the survival mechanisms that others need … Continue reading Review: The Ballad of Black Tom

From Rachel Aaron's 2,000 to 10,000 to Steven Pressfield's The War of Art to John Truby's The Anatomy of Story to Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, I've built a collection … Continue reading Review: Damn Fine Story by Chuck Wendig
Review: Mage: The Hero Discovered (Vol. 1)
Back when I first discovered comics, I read only superhero stories, and soon, I grew frustrated with the never ending storylines and having to chase another comic to maintain the story in the one I was reading. It quickly became apparent that I wanted more than a superhero story. There's nothing wrong with those types … Continue reading Review: Mage: The Hero Discovered (Vol. 1)
Review: Noumenon
Sometimes, a book or song or movie will come along at just the right time and strike a resounding chord. Noumenon hit that sweet spot for me. On my blog, I’ve been thinking about generation ships. Suddenly, the stars aligned, and Harper Voyager gave me the opportunity to review Noumenon. It was SF love at … Continue reading Review: Noumenon
