About Andy Peloquin

I am, first and foremost, a storyteller and an artist--words are my palette. Fantasy and science fiction are my genres of choice, and I love to explore the darker side of human nature through the filter of heroes, villains, and everything in between. I'm also a freelance writer, a book lover, and a guy who just loves to meet new people and spend hours talking about my fascination for the worlds I encounter in the pages of fantasy and sci-fi novels.
Speculative fiction provides us with an escape, a way to forget about our mundane problems and step into worlds where anything is possible. It transcends age, gender, religion, race, or lifestyle--it is our way of believing what cannot be, delving into the unknowable, and discovering hidden truths about ourselves and our world in a brand-new way. Fiction at its very best!

Book Review: Lies Weeping (The Black Company #10) by Glen Cook

Book Review: Contact Front (Drop Trooper #1) by Rick Partlow

Book Review: Extremity by Nicholas Binge

Book Review: The Scour (An Empire of the Wolf Novella) by Richard Swan

Book Review: Volatile Memory by Seth Haddon
