Sherdan’s Prophecy: Chapter 32
Anya didn’t leave her room for breakfast while Sherdan was about the following morning. He went over to the compound with a sad weight on his heart. He’d have to hope she was more open again that evening. Women were so fickle. There was plenty of work to do, however. The shelters at all the [...]

Skid: A Review
I was given a free copy of the ebook version of Skid by Doug Solter in return for my review. This is about a teenager called Samantha who has grown up spending a lot of time behind the wheel of a racing car. She’s got lots of experience and had an encouraging father. In every [...]

How to write helpful reviews
Review writing is getting more and more common for the average person with sites like amazon and goodreads for books, imdb for films and lets not forget blogs and social networking but what kind of reviews actually help people? For starters, reviews can actually be quite a subjective thing. We all have very differing opinions [...]

The Real Steel: A Review
I totally loved the trailor for this film, I mean fighting robots and Hugh Jackman, who wouldn’t? A friend love filmed the blu-ray so we watched it as a group one lazy Sunday afternoon. It was really interesting watching Hugh Jackman play a really not so nice father and ex husband. The trailor didn’t imply [...]

Sherdan’s Prophecy: Chapter 31
The smile plastered on Sherdan’s face said everything as he waited for Anya to come back. He’d just told Anne and had a small picnic thrown together to put in his car. Mostly wine and nibbles. He’d also informed his security that they were going out. He didn’t have to wait too long before Anya [...]

Mockingjay: A Review

This book started almost exactly where the previous one left off rather than having a gap like the second did before it started. Katniss is the main focus [...]

NaNoWriMo 2012: Update 2
It’s the 26th of November so time for update 2 (yes I know this was due two days ago and the really observant of you saw this go live as a blank post on Saturday. I forgot about it until too late to do anything about it on Sunday) So far I’ve managed a total [...]

Happy Feet 2: A Review
I really wanted to go see this film at the cinema after the amazingness of the first but I didn’t get the chance. I watched the blu-ray of this as soon as I could get ahold of a copy. This has pink as the voice of Gloria from the first but otherwise the actors in [...]

Sherdan’s Prophecy: Chapter 30
Anya hadn’t known what to make of Sherdan that evening. Her heart had skipped a beat when he’d asked to see her artwork and two more when he’d requested a portrait. She’d almost said yes before it occurred to her that, with a possible case of Stockholm syndrome, incorporating him into her artwork would be [...]
