Forecast? Steamy with a chance of dragons~ The Rocks of Aserol by @RichardDockett1 #steampunk #SciFi #Bookreview

July 15, 2016

There’s something about the romance and victorian propriety of steampunk that brings a comforting, classic familiarity to everything it touches. And with the way the world has gone lately, I wonder if we could all use a little of that? Wouldn’t you just love to slap an eye-patch and maybe some goggles on Hillary and send her out with a steam-powered harpoon to shoot down zeppelins? (Large orange ones full of gas and hot air perhaps?)

June 24, 2016

Describe Let There Be Linda in two words. Try Two Sentences. I can do six words: black comic thriller of the year. And I can do five words: silly, bloody, violent, hilarious fun. And I can do five words again: Monty Python meets Quentin Tarantino. And, finally, I can do two words: wild ride.

Thank you for your response. ✨

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.
