Social Justice—what now?
Satire is an interesting beast.
When The Colbert Report was on most people understood that it was all satire. Airing on Comedy Central proved it was a joke.
But these days, it seems like a lot of people get news from these sort of shows, and there’s more than ever. I remember when The Colbert Report had a running “gag” that he couldn’t see color. I’m not going to get into why color blindness is bad if you don’t know I’d check out MTV’s video on the matter. The point is, if you aren’t in on...

[image error]Today I’m reviewing two books! Dreadnought and Sovereign both by April Daniels. Here’s a quick overview of the series before I give you my thoughts on each.
About The Book: Danny Tozer has a problem: she just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the world’s greatest superhero.
Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding out she’s transgender. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed his mantle to her, and those secondhan...

March’s haul for the Little Free Library!
Striking a perfect balance between heartfelt emotions and spot-on humor, this debut features a pop-culture enthusiast protagonist with an unforgettable voice sure to resonate with readers.
This book has ace puns on the cover, and set in college which is great to see some complementary ace stories with older characters. If that and the beautiful cover was enough to convince me.

New @ Little Free Library!
Science is a collective process so few people can define a field of study, but Carl Sagan is one of those rare exceptions. His words, both fiction and non, have taught and inspired the next generation of people who look up in the sky with wonder.
Star Wars Journal – Queen Amidala
As a kid, I never understood why everyone hated Episode I. That’s because with me was the Queen of Naboo. A fighter and leader since she was a young girl. Written like...

Dirty little secrets can’t be hidden behind player avatars, because Bone Diggers like Owen expose the lives behind the code. When his two worlds blur, he must decide which is more important: his freedom, or the game. The right choices will be rewarded with fame, fortune, and adventur...

Assassin’s Creed Rewind and Review
If I said I was a fan of Assassin’s Creed series since the beginning, while technically true, it would be misleading. I stopped playing after Assassin’s Creed 3. I’m all about those modern Assassin’s and I was utterly convinced that Ubisoft was throwing that plot line away. Add in the release of Blackflag and my dislike for the boats in AC3 and it became the first title in the series I missed. I played Watch Dogs and enjoyed it more than most, so I likely could have been convinced to come ba...

More About The Eighth Rank:
When the Queen of Hearts goes missing, Red must stop the Big Bad Wolf from seizing the crown. In this land, magic has a price, one that Red has already paid by losing her memories. While the r...

Hello World Twitter & Ace Community Interview!
HELLO WORLD came out yesterday, and now I can type “Hello World” into amazon and find something I poured my heart and soul into. It’s so far getting glowing reviews for the exact things I tried so hard to get right. I have a paperback copy I can hold in my hands like portable magic.
Late last week I asked the ace and twitter community to send me questions about the book, and as promised here are those answers. Thank you to everyone who took an interest in this book baby of ours.
