The Sword of Rhiannon by Leigh Brackett – A Review
Finally, I’ve reached the end of the Women of Genre Fiction Challenge I signed up for back in May! I’m a little late, but I’m done! For the last book in the challenge, I chose Leigh Brackett‘s The Sword of Rhiannon. It turned out to be a fun way to finish up. The Sword of […]

Monday Morning Music
I find myself in an a cappella mood this morning, so we’re going back in time for some live footage of one of my favorite a cappella bands, The Bobs. (yeah, they’re a lot of folks’ favorite a cappella bands; not too many of those, huh?) Here they are from 1987 doing a super version […]

City of Devils by Justin Robinson – A Review
So, it’s January and 2013 is over. (I know. You probably already figured out both of those facts.) I have one more book to review for the WOGF Challenge, but that just arrived in the mail on Tuesday and I haven’t finished it yet. Instead, I’m going to review the first book I’ve finished for […]

Monday Afternoon Music
Off to a late start today. I blame the lack of heat at the dayjob. Just came on about half an hour ago. Finally got to take my parka off. At least the Arctic blast hadn’t come in yet? It was 47 here this morning. Now it’s 31 and set to get much colder still. […]

Monday Morning Music
Well, it’s the last Monday of 2013. How the hell did that happen? I don’t even know. I’ve made 47 posts tagged Monday Morning Music this year. It’s one of my favorite (and most consistent) things I do with this blog. I love to share music with all of you. For this last entry of […]

Words in Progress – 2013
So, 2013 is coming to a close. Another year gone like lightning. At least, that’s how they feel to me, for good or ill. It’s been a busy writing year. I seem to have really caught the bug for writing and submitting, being rejected and submitting again. And writing again and again. Kinda like it. […]

Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh – A Review
Eleven down, one to go. That’s how things stand with me and the Women of Genre Fiction Challenge I took on back in May. Not sure if I’ll get review #12 posted before 2013 comes to an end, but #11 is here right now. For some reason, I haven’t read much C.J. Cherryh. In fact, […]

Monday Morning Music
Well, my apologies for not posting a video for you last week. Not sure why it didn’t happen. But I’m back today! And just in time for Xmas. I’m not a fan of most Xmas songs, I must say. The ones I like, I’ve heard so many times, I don’t really need to anymore. And […]

Monday Morning Music
So, I heard that JanelleMonáe was not nominated for any Grammys this year. My first reaction to that was “Woah. People still pay attention to the Grammys?” They’ve been screwing people out of awards since I was a kid. When Ani only ever gets nominated for album design, you know the system’s rigged. But still, […]

The State of Things
We’re supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow tonight. I’m not excited about this. Yeah, I know. I live in Vermont and it’s December. Just not in the mood. Writing’s going well, though. Submitted a story last week. Fingers crossed on that one. Revised “Mind Over Murder” and the editor’s pleased. Apparently she’ll have news […]
