Happy weekend! What was your week like? Mine started out normally, then quickly collapsed under the weight of my Thursday and Friday, but we’re not going to talk about those days. Instead, I’m going to focus on the things the good things in life right now. For me, right this second, that means coffee, my insanely spoiled dogs, and my…

Have you ever wanted to take a vacation from life itself and spend six weeks doing nothing but writing? Do you write fantasy, science fiction, horror, or something in between? The Odyssey Writing Workshop allows you to do just that, and the application for the 2019 workshop is April 1st (no, that’s not an April Fool’s Day joke). Why apply?…

This is, first and foremost, the question that defines my job. As a bookseller, it is my duty to help you find a book (or more than one) that will satisfy you. Whether it’s a specific title or just a general idea of what you need, as long as I can help you in some fashion, my duty is fulfilled.…

Friends, it is that time again. Time to announce what we’ll be reading for Women’s History Month and vote on what we’ll be reading for National Guitar Month??? Who knew that was a thing? Without further ado:

They might not be raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but that doesn’t mean that we love them any less. Welcome back to My Favorite Things, the weekly column where we grab someone in speculative circles to gab about the greatest in geek. This week, we sit down with Rachael Robie, whose debut novel, Sisters in Sorrow, was released…

Welcome to the weekend! How was your week? If it was anything like mine, there’s no doubt that you missed something that we published for you, our awesome readers. Fear not, I am here to help. If you’ve accompanied me before on a journey like this one, I’m sure you know the drill. For the rest of you, it’s not…

I am so excited! This year, for my resolution project, I’m rewatching the Star Wars franchise. I chose it because I love Star Wars, and I thought it would be fun to re-watch the movies in order of release date, with perhaps a bit more of a critical and appreciative eye than I have before. First up: Star Wars Episode IV: A New…

Let me get two things out of the way. First: I know Lucifer is based (loosely!) on The Sandman, the graphic novel by Neil Gaiman (illustrated by a multitude of artists). And I know the character was spun off into a series of his own with the awesome Mike Carey writing. (Have you read his Felix Castor series? No? Go…
