There will be spoilers if you haven’t already seen the first two seasons…

Bellamy. Ok, he’s good to look at, I love his voice and wow, has the character gone through a growth arc over the seasons. He always stays true to his primary focus, watching out for h...

Jody: The premise of the Dreamwalkers series is that certain human brains are so vivid that their nightmares can come to life and eat people. The heroes and heroines (so far) are the folks who fight these monsters and hide their existence from the rest of the world. Oftentimes these nightmares take the shape of...

A Fond Look Back at Andre Norton’s Witch World

The last few weeks have been a bit up and down for me and so I wanted to lose myself in some other author’s well realized, complex world. I decided Andre Norton’s Witch World was just the thing I needed. I’ve mentioned before that Year of the Unicorn is my absolute favorite novel in the series and I’ve reread that many a time.

Had a really nice Christmas with my family, hosted at my younger daughter’s. Much enjoyment was had by all…well, maybe not her two cats, Carrot and Orly, who took a lonnggggg time to warm up to the new people under their roof. Never mind they’ve seen us all before! They used to live with me and I fed them twice a day but alas, cat memories are short (in this case anyway). This is Carrot, in his kitchen lair, supervising my son-in-law while he cooked dinner for all of us.

If what I received ha...
