Just returned home from vacay, to this review of This Brilliant Darkness:
This book is fantastically well-written, fast-paced, detailed, and full of sinuously dark curves. I was thoroughly drawn to the characters, including the Greachin, unwilling to put down the book for fear that I would destroy the building tension. Each cleverly-titled chapter led me deeper and deeper into Christine’s new reality. The character development was top notch, enabling me to sympathize with the characters; and their relationships/personalities were strikingly realistic. I enjoyed reading about Christine’s relationship with Tom, Richard, and Tristan from each of their perspectives. Red Tash has a way of making her characters stand out when it’s their turn to speak; the viewpoint changes were not choppy, and I did not find the change-overs at all confusing. In the like, the dialogue was smart, modern, and engaging, with a good overall flow. I would not change anything about it, except the ending - I wish there was more to it, but maybe there’s more to come? I hope so. Recommended to college-age adults and older who relish a great fantasy/horror novel that will leave them craving more.
YES!

Oh, my pretties. I have survived my journey to Hogwarts, Disney, and the Land of the Legos. Brought back more than a Ravenclaw patch, too. Totally have a comic script mapped out for an exciting collaboration coming up.
Now commences my vacation from vacation, however. As a welcome home gift, PBS finally aired Series 2 of Sherlock!, and I’m kicking back to watch the first ep and try to remember this show from, what? Two years ago? Anyway, I remember I loved it.
And in the meantime, here’s a girl wearing a skirt made out of Barbie dolls.
Kisses,

Barbie skirts are setting unrealistic standards of fashion.

He Said, She Said with Jack Wallen!
A month or two ago, Jack asked me to do the female half of a dual-gendered conversation about horror. When it went live, it just happened to overlap with my Wizard blog tour (oomph!), so I’m only now able to feature it here.
But feature it, I shall! It’s a fun little convo. I’d love to hear what you think about Jack’s questions. They’re REALLY good questions.
