And it was a booger. I understood that August was going to suck, for me. I just didn’t realize how much it was going to suck. It will be two years at the end of this month that my mom passed away. No, I’m still not over it. And that’s all I’m going to say [...]
The only excuse I have for not getting to this review sooner is – life. Things have been really hectic in Netta-land, but when The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett hit the shelves in April of this year you can bet my ample behind was in my favorite Borders, getting me some of that. [...]

I have been a long-time fan of The Police. When Kellie approached me about posting this Q & A of hers with Stewart Copeland, I was thrilled and honored. Make sure you visit Kellie — she’s a Most Excellent writer, and she has a unique voice I quite admire. Thanks, Kellie, for this. You totally [...]

Once in awhile, I am lucky enough to run across a piece of work that not only touches my heart, but makes me think, and think hard. “Vacation” by Jeremy C. Shipp is one such book. It’s marketed as horror, but trust me when I tell you that you’ve never read a horror book like [...]
As a reader and a writer, it is the greatest joy of my life to discover new and amazing authors that rock my universe. It doesn’t happen often enough, but when it does, I’m flying like Aladdin on his magic carpet. By “new”, I mean “new to me”, so sometimes my ravings may elicit the [...]
