Book Review – Remnant in the Stars by Cindy Koepp. Available for under $10.00
Rarely, any more, do I find myself reading straight through a book stopping only for necessary transactions with the outer world.

Review of "Dark Shadows: Wolf Moon Rising", by Lara Parker
Reblogged from Kitty Muse and Me:
Old friends and new, vile fiends. The living, the dead, the undead, and the immortal all existing together in the strange tapestry known as Collinwood. No one is as he or she seems, and secrets are as palpable and elusive as the shadows that lurk in every corner.
Quentin's portrait is missing, and with every passing hour, his chances for a normal existence grow slimmer and slimmer.
Sacred Band Character of the Week: Randal
Randal, the Tysian Hazard-class mage, first appeared in the Sacred Band of Stepsons universe when Tempus took his warriors north to Tyse (Beyond Sanctuary, 1985). Randal joined the Band in Tyse, becoming the first and only warrior-mage ever to serve with Tempus's Sacred Band of Stepsons. Under orders from the Band's commander, he served as the rightman of Stealth, called Nikodemos.
