Review: Neil Gaiman’s “Coraline”
Another review, this time Neil Gaiman’s “Coraline”. I saw the film first, which is rare since I usually readthesource material before hand.

Inspiration and Hope from N.K. Jemisin

I won't go into the details but to put simply, she writes about dreaming and succeeding when people want to pull you down and kick you in the ribs. She writes about finding [...]

“Our Monsters” sequel begins
Two nights ago I started the first draft of what will become the sequel to “Our Monsters”, my recently debuted novel. Nothing much to report.
