Back in January, I blogged about what I’d been reading lately. I wanted to post an update with some more books I’ve loved recently. I’m going back to February and March for some of these. Just to recap my reading goals for 2018, I want to read at least 50…
I set some specific reading goals for 2018. My #OwnVoices Reading Resolution didn’t go quite as well as I had hoped in 2017, and I think a large reason is that I wasn’t as deliberate as I should have been. I made a list of books I wanted to read,…
Almost a year ago, I wrote a blog post recommending Garret Hutson’s debut mystery novel, In a Safe Town. Today, Garrett drops by my blog to talk about his second mystery novel, The Jade Dragon, which I also loved. His first novel is set in 1980s Indiana. The Jade Dragon is the first in a…
A couple of months ago I shared the cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln, and hosted a blog post by her. At the same time, I was also given an e-ARC of the book to read. Since the book releases today, I want to tell you how much I…
I’m doing a Goodreads giveaway of two signed copies of Shades of Circle City! Unfortunately, due to the cost of shipping, this is only open to people in the US and Canada. If you want a print copy of my book and haven’t got one yet, enter the giveaway and see if…
I just read a super-fun romance novel by Alexis Hall called Looking for Group. Get your mind out of the gutter–it’s a World of Warcraft reference! This book might not be everyone’s cup of tea, because large sections of it are written in the format of Guild Chat. For me,…
I’ve had Faerie Blood by Angela Korra’ti on my Kindle app for some time now because I like the author’s blog. I finally got around to starting it last week, and I did nothing else all day but read it–far too late in the night! As soon as I finished…
Okay, let me start with a disclaimer. Well, with two disclaimers. One: Mystery isn’t my main reading genre. And two: I’ve been reeling since the election on November 8. I’ll be clear here: I was a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I voted for Hillary Clinton. And I am still stunned…
One thing I absolutely love about writing urban fantasy is how many little details of life in the Indianapolis area I can squeeze in. (Another thing I love is how easy it is to research, compared to something set in a completely made-up secondary world!) I spent a lot of…
Sirens is yet another strong entry into the Rhonda Parrish’s Magical Menagerie series from World Weaver Press. As I’ve said before, I’m not usually one to read anthologies, but I’ve gotten hooked on Parrish’s carefully shaped anthologies. I’ll try not to spoil any of the stories too much for you…
I'll never share your information with anyone else. You'll get fortnightly emails from me about what I'm working on, and every once in a while I send out exclusive freebies to my email list.
