Book Review: The Silmarillion
This year I'm keeping track of what I read. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I'll post a blurb and brief review. Most will be speculative fiction in some form—genres I gravitate toward in my own writing. Today, it's The Silmarillion by legendary fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien:Three Silmarils were jewels created by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two

This year I'm keeping track of what I read. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I'll post a blurb and brief review. Most will be speculative fiction in some form—genres I gravitate toward in my own writing. Today, it's the sci-fi thriller Big Time by Ben H. Winters:What if time could be taken from us—the minutes, the hours, the years of our lives, extracted like organs taken for transplant?

Supporting Indie Authors
Without the marketing machine of those BIG publishers behind us, what do indie authors need most? More readers! We can all benefit from a signal boost every now and then, so that's what I'm doing each month: sharing books I think you might enjoy, written in some of the same genres I gravitate toward myself:Struggling with newfound sentience and desperately trying to repair itself, The
