Now that the first ever year of SFINCS is drawing to a close, I wanted to put together my own post collecting all of the novellas I read throughout the competition. I will re-share each read’s full review, with links to the originals (linked on the actual word ‘review‘ if I shared one to the […]

Series Spotlight: Forward Collection an Amazon Original Stories Series (Worth it?)
If you aren’t aware of these, Amazon does these collections labeled under Amazon Original Stories. where each features a theme and featured authors. They are also free on Kindle and Audible for all prime members to access, which is a huge plus. Although they’re good, who’s really going to pay individually for short stories? If […]

An Intro to Indie Sci-Fi For Those Wondering Where to Start
The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar, and you may have seen (or want to check out) the similar posts for both fantasy and horror suggestions. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some […]
An Intro to Indie Horror For Those Wondering Where to Start

An Intro to Indie Fantasy For Those Wondering Where to Start
The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some writers that are either underrated, or great examples of where to start with indie fantasy. My original idea was […]
Series Spotlight: The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, & Charlie Adlard
For starters, I was not an original reader of the series. I’m not huge on comics typically, and because I like to read a lot, and in chunks, I normally just don’t connect with the shorter form. However, as a huge fan of the show, I decided to give them a go, and I went […]
Series Spotlight: the MEG (1-6)+ by Steve Alten
The majority of these were included free with an audible subscription last year. I had seen the first Meg movie, and I am a huge fan of sharks, so I grabbed these up and decided to give them a listen. I remember countless hours spent just absorbing everything I could during the annual Shark Week, […]
Series Spotlight: The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
The image above is for the beautiful and somewhat new illustrated hardcovers from Orbit Books. Which, unfortunately, I do not own yet, but feel a devastating desire for. The set from the featured image, are those from the paperback Gollancz set (which don’t appear to even be offered on their site anymore), translated by David […]
Series Spotlight: Dexter (#1-8)+ by Jeff Lindsay
I’ll start by saying that I haven’t read these since 2019, however it is one of the series I find myself thinking over the most. I was of the tribe that watched the show first, and honestly at the time, this kind of novel wasn’t really my thing, so hats off to Michael C. Hall’s […]
Series Review: Pillars of Peace by Tom Dumbrell
Wonderful photo borrowed from Natalie @ the.bookish.designer If you’ve yet to see it, please check out my review for A Dagger in the Dark posted yesterday! I have been oscillating between migrating all of my trilogy reviews over to FanFI, or to just do a series review. To be honest, I can’t promise that I […]
