Review of Dan Buri’s Pieces Like Pottery

It had the unfortunate effect of making my to-read list even longer, but the benefits of reading some incredible works far outweigh this. One suchauthor is Dan Buri.

Modern Dragon
I’ve been busy lately, working of the first draft of In Numina – the second full-length Felix mystery.Which means that whenever I have time to write, I concentrate on that. The mind of a writer, however, is a funny thing. Ideas come and go out of nowhere. Some of them can be saved for later, […]
