It's Thy Fearful Symmetry day, taking a novel closer to publication a weekend at a time...


Last week I gave you my cover art mission statement. I'm a writer. I'm a pretty good one, I think.

The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
There are lots of ways in which Horowitz absolutely nails this, the new Sherlock Holmes novel. Watson and Holmes, as well as Lestrade and other regulars, are absolutely on the money. They are faithful to the original versions, without being slavish,...more

A series of novellas mirroring the set-up of the Sherlock Holmes stories, in which Colonel Sebastian Moran pens an account of his adventures with consulting criminal Professor James Moriarty. These are a lot of fun, taking references and patterns fro...more

Ex-Heroes (Ex-Heroes, #1)

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I like stories with super heroes in them. I like stories with zombies in them. It goes to follow then, that I liked Ex-Heroes, with its curious blending of the two. I didn't love it though. The plot is a retread of the familiar 'base under siege' pla...more

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing

The second title in the inaugural year of the Obverse Quarterly gives the limelight to Senor 105, once a supporting character in the Iris Wildthyme stories, and now demonstrating that he's more than man enough to support his own title. This collectio...more

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Ostensibly a time travel story (man goes back in time to save JFK, and change the future), and an interesting and well staged one, the premise is a macguffin. This is a love story, and the most magnificent I've read in years. Yes, it takes a while to...more
