Reaching for the Stars and Launch Week Happiness

Reaching for the Stars and Launch Week Happiness

Yesterday we received our first review on Alien Storm, and the part that made me super happy: ...It is clearly written by someone who is familiar with the military values and how things really operate. The action kept drawing me into reading more. The characters are...

Everyone needs a break to recharge. But what if we used our vacation time to deal with our past? That is the premise of our project we called "Gunny's Day Off". The final title ended up as COLD JUSTICE for this futuristic thriller. For our Cold War series fans, it's...

Delicious Summer Reading For Sci-Fi Lovers, Pt. 1

The days are getting longer. I love being able to walk the dog after dinner and still have it be light out. My eyes get tired after so much computer time at work, but I've been giving myself a break with using blue light blocking glasses at work and by enjoying...

Nebula Tasting Pt.5 – Shamans and Witches

Nebula Tasting Pt.5 – Shamans and Witches

This is my last post on the Nebula nominees. I read through so much more of the list this year than in previous years which I think speaks to how engaging these reads are. I couldn't wait to read Rebecca Roanhorse's Trail of Lightning. Her short story last year was my...

Nebula Tasting – Hearts & Minds

Nebula Tasting – Hearts & Minds

This is part 3 of my Nebula binge reading updates. I finished Richard Fox's Going Dark. This is a short story with heart. Underneath all the fast-paced action of dodging enemy fire lies a story of loyalty and devotion that move you, gentle reader. It is set in the...

Nebula Tasting Menu, Part 1

Nebula Tasting Menu, Part 1

LATE TO THE PARTY: ZOMBIE edition

LATE TO THE PARTY: ZOMBIE edition

This book came out in 2014 but I only got around to reading it last month. I don’t know why I waited so long. It was really one of the best books I’ve read all year. The Girl With All The Gifts is a post-apocalyptic zombie-ish novel. (Which begs the question, can it...

Start Where You Are

Start Where You Are

I always love this time of year because people start reflecting back on their year.  For me, I like to see progress.  In order to see progress, I have to have a benchmark to see how far I've come. January 1 to December 31 is traditional but certainly even shorter...
