Book Tour/Guest Post: Music as Inspiration by B.A. Bellec
Where does something like “Perduto” come from? It wasn’t where I started that is for sure! To get to that I had to write an award-winning young adult coming of age novel (Someone’s Story) and accompany that with four folk songs. Then I pivoted to writing a dystopian sci-fi horror series with an entire album […]
Review: For The Throne (Wilderwood #2) by Hannah Whitten
For The Throne really is everything you wish for in a sequel/series conclusion, in that it wraps up all the threads in a satisfying manner that isn’t necessarily what you’d expect, it honors already established characters while also giving the right amount of space to the ones who are now the main focus and, it does all that by improving on all that worked well before to make it even better.
Review: Captain Wu (Starship Nameless #1) by Patrice Fitzgerald and Jack Lyster
I read this as part of the SPSFC Finals! This review reflects my thoughts and not my team as a whole.
Ooooookay this was fun. I absolutely flew through Captain Wu at quite the pace and it kept me hooked the whole time. Space pirates, found family, a mysterious package are all mixed into this space opera and it created a great story!

Book Tour/Guest Post: On Dragons by Rita A. Rubin
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved fantasy and I’ve always loved dragons. Growing up, if anything had dragons in it, it immediately caught my attention. So I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone who knew me that the first book I wrote was a fantasy about people who […]

Review: Perception Check (The Mages of Velmyra Saga #1) by Astrid Knight
Perception Check is a warm-hearted adventure that certainly feels like the homage to tabletop gaming it is trying to be.
