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.

8K to Go

I'm up to 82,000 words in my current novel, Angels & Androids, and I'm closing in on the home stretch. Whenever I write a trilogy, I always try to make the final installment a real hoot and a half. I figure if readers have stuck with me for three books, there should be a major payoff for them at the end. There are few things I hate more as a reader than to get to the last book in a series

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?
