About this author

This turned out to be a bad idea, because it’s a bigger subject than I should probably get into at six-thirty in the morning on a school day with a cheesecake to drop off. But let me sum up.


The term grimdark is based on a tagline from the Warhammer 40K franchise: ”In...

Poke the Box by Seth Godin
Took me longer to read than was warranted; I kept getting up and doing cool things instead. Which was the point.
Bank Shot by Donald E. Westlake
The world has only so many perfect books in the world. It would be a shame to spoil this one. They steal (not rob) a bank. Poker scene = brilliant.
Without a Summer by Mary Robinette Kowal
Without a Summer (Glamourist Histories, #3)
by Mary Robinette Kowal (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
Not as much fun as first two books: the drama is caused by unintelligent main character choices that aren't central to the growth of the character. Misunderstandings galore.
Surrender of a Siren by Tessa Dare
Surrender of a Siren (The Wanton Dairymaid Trilogy, #2)
by Tessa Dare (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
The reformation of a pirate by a noblewoman posing as a governess on the way to the Carribean. Improbable but enjoyable.
Scandal Wears Satin by Loretta Chase
Sophy's story. Didn't care for it as much as book 1 in the series. Not bad, just didn't hold up to Book 1.

“But suppose one doesn't quite know which one wants to put first. Suppose," said Harriet, falling back on words which were not her own, "suppose one is cursed with both a heart and a brain?"

"You can usually tell," said Miss de Vine, "by seeing what kind of mistakes you make. I'm quite sure that one never makes fundamental mistakes about the thing one really wants to do. Fundamental mistakes arise out of lack of genuine interest. In my opinion, that is.”
Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night
