Addenum
I probably shouldn’t be blogging because I’m bagged – I don’t know why, but ever since I’ve had strep (that was last month, heh) I just can’t seem to catch up on my rest, but here goes:
Book Tourhere is mostly done – it started off late, which was my fault; when things rain it pours for me, so I’ve been focused on Real Life stuff lately (and, it seems, making dumb mistakes). I just wanted to add that if you comment, I’m open to sending you an Amazon gift certificate or for another bookstore of...

Busy over here!
Who likes images? Cause you’re getting a lot of ‘em.
And me and a bunch of the other Burst Authors are doing an all-day chat. I’ll be popping in periodically – I’m currently at work and on call tonight, so check this out:
A bunch of us will be chatting up fantasy and world-building, and there’ll be some giveaways – including my own novel – so if you have time and are interested, come check us out. We’re kind of a new thing, so there’s also This Website, which I’m hoping to put up a new article...

I do so love me my zombie apocolypses…
…the last thing I played was my Zumba Core on the Wii. I don’t want to count that!
Me: Hey guys, the zombies are coming… stop that merengue at once!
I think that would be… Oz from Oz: The Great and Powerful, Wreck-it-Ralph, and The Yellow Toad from Mario Wii. I haven’t been reading much in terms of fiction, I have a bunch of tests coming up. Yes, I am pushing thirty and I still am writing tests.

A TL;DR Opinion on Fanfic
I can’t play this week’s Broke and Bookish game because the only books I have sitting unread are in my immediate to-read pile. Without too much information, basically life throws you curve balls when you least expect it, and it took me until last year to have extra spending money for books. I’m good now, but it’s not like I have That One Book sitting there, making me feel guilty. Even though I’m kind of addicted to bookstores in general, I read what I get and, I’m happy when people lend/give...

Top Ten Books At The TOP Of My Spring 2013 TBR list!
Brought to you by Broke and Bookish.
Wow, I should really update this more often, heh. In my defense, a bunch of us are working on some chats and things, I’ll let you know when we get closer, I have some programming to work out in the meantime. And I know we’re three months in, but I used to give myself a reading challenge regarding LJ – since it’s Year of the Dragon, and my debut novel has dragons (sort of) in it, I’m planning on reading a novel with dragons in it at least once a month. I kno...

Top Ten Tuesday: Top ten Series I’d Like To Start But Haven’t Yet
So when I was researching book bloggers I stumbled across this – I was kind of busy with work, but things seem to be calming down, so I thought I’d start blogging with this. This is brought to you by Broke and Bookish, but I’ve seen lots of bloggers play along.
This list is by no list comprehensive and in order – I have series I’m still trying to finish (Malazan, House War) and I guess I’ll link to the authors goodreads for the curious. (I suppose I could have linked to the first book in the s...

This Looks Awesome
Okay, I can’t embed like I thought I could; I see I still suck with the internet.
Because I like animation AND Mythology:
I hope they make their goal. Share accordingly

Cover Reveal: The Pact
This one isn’t for me – Graeme Brownis another Winnipeg Author, and he was excited, so he gave me permission to show off his band-new cover. Don’t know why, but I love the flames. (Must be the inner firefighter). I haven’t read it yet but apparently it’s a novella in the same styling as George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire, so I’m stoked. Check it out on goodreads here.
In other news, I’m hatching a scheme to do a week’s worth of discussing covers – it’s in the works and will start in abo...

And I wonder why I don’t have TV
Thiscame to my attention from two better authors I follow. Apparently, there was more, and the Oscars decided they were going to tear down someone in grade school.
Really? Have you no class? I mean, I heard a little bit about the whole ‘boobs‘ thing on the radio the following day, and my response was “Hollywood knew what they were getting when they picked MacFarlane…” because, I guess in a way, I’ve just become accustomed to Hollywood’s incredible double standards (Kind of like how Brave is ap...

Cover Reveal: The Twelve Dancing Priestesses
Before anyone jumps the gun, this is a short story (well, for me – the original draft was around 13000 words, I slapped it around to under 10,000 to make it marketable, which I might add in terms of shorts is still considered long) so even though I’ve got a bunch of unsigned novels on the backburner, I’m not that fast as to put out more then one novel a year. Check this out, it’s purty:
It’s almost like Ellen and Co. know what I cover snob I am. I’m having a hard time picking it over ToO as my...
