Witness me trying to catch up on my Reading Round-ups with this really long Round-up of all things June and July. I've organized it by genre so that you can just skip to your favorites there. If you can't find something you enjoy on this list, I cannot help you. I read far too many... Continue Reading →
A Marvelous Light by Freya Marske I did enjoy this book, but I don't think it is quite what I was expecting. It opened with a pretty gruesome murder. It was in fact dotted with murders, and abuse, and a lot of really grim things. But that was layered over with a romance that was,... Continue Reading →

One of the delights of being in Seattle is the plethora of cultural events and museums there are to experience. One of these is the Museum of Pop Culture, which I heartily recommend for any genre lover, fan of indie game, or music lover. At the time when I attended, I was able to see... Continue Reading →
I've not been reading a lot because I've been writing and editing so much, and otherwise going on adventures. But here is my brief and belated list for the month of September! Sword Stone Table I've not been reading as many short stories as I'd like this year, largely because what time I spend in... Continue Reading →
June has been an absolute riot of activity, and I almost didn't get this post written. My brother got married, we're planning for our trip, we bought a car somehow??? The mechanics of buying the car are of course understood but the buying of the car was kind of a surprise. Anyway, there's a lot... Continue Reading →
