Linda Nagata's blog:
When I heard Jeff Vandermeer’s novel Annihilation was being made into a movie, my reaction was, “No way! Impossible!”
I’d listened to the audio editions of all three books in the Southern Reach trilogy, and there was so much that was internal, philosophical, reflective, that I couldn’t see how a m...

Do you ever feel like you have stage fright even though you’re part of the audience and not the actual performer? The closer I get to the day of a concert, the more I feel this way myself. Don’t get me wrong, concerts are fun to go to and I’ll always jump at th... Read more of this blog post »

Suddenly, everything felt different. Yesterday was a pretty awful day, I got to see how different of a person my son has really become, I got to see how negative his energy has been turned due to the negative environment he’s in and the negative people that he’s surrounded by. I regret allowing t...

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer by Philip K. DickMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
PKD's Swan Song and the capstone to his VALIS Trilogy. This novel is rather unlike much of his other work in that it starts off and remains fairly mundane throughout. However, the real meat of the matter is found in the... Read more of this blog post »

Video Game Review
This was one of the best Assassin’s Creed games I’ve played!

As I slave for three days over margins and page size and freaking page numbers and designing a cover for my new novella, I think unkindly of those people who complain about how much books cost, and how they are the same people who fork over $5 for a Starbucks coffee that took 5 minutes to make.

Underdog rules...
When I first started writing, I had an instinctual feeling for the underdog, the outcast, the nerd...the geek. If that sounds like it's from The Specials, you're right.
Here's why.

Two cats live with me.
Now many people would say that they "own" a couple of cats but, to me anyway, that would be incorrect. No one truly "owns" a cat.

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
