The new normal So “it has begun” as the saying goes. Right now, I am living on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada. There are four of us living in a wonderfully large house, and all of us in one fashion or another want to dosomething with the next ten years of our lives. I run a reasonably successful telecom business, and I am an internationally published author. I am working as par...

"A Bloodier Rose" does what a good sequel should do -- move the characters forward, raise the stakes, and bring more of what made the first book endearing. Vaillancourt's steampunk series is pulp adventure in the grand Howardian style, except more...

is 25% done with Acadian Waltz: This book so far is a finely orchestrated train wreck. The main character is emotionally blind, her involuntarily chosen husband-to-be is a check-list robot, and the two characters I do like need "percussive education". All that said, I am enjoying the read. The writing style is easy to follow, the story is well paced and the naughty stuff is tastefully handled.

The stand-out aspect of A Bloodier Rose is the vivid world building. The characters are strong and the plot exciting, but it's the world they inhabit that made me eagerly read on. This is a steampunk ADVENTURE. It's larger than life, but details a...
