Guest Post: Bren MacDibble
Young Adults and Dystopian Fiction By Bren MacDibble Young adults are angry. They're mad as hell at their “Olds” for screwing up the planet. It's our own fault. We wanted them to be more aware of the world around them. We taught them to be more environmentally friendly than our generation. We let them on the Internet. Now, by the time a child becomes a YA, they have absorbed so much information about the many ways our planet is being screwed…

Book Review: Velocity Weapon
First of all, let me start by saying I thoroughly enjoyed Velocity Weapon by Megan E. O'Keefe from beginning to end. And, like any good roller coaster ride, this one starts off with a few gentle reveals, and slowly—at first—builds up to a number of startling revelations, as you crest a peek, wondering what the hell is coming next and then?
I’m A Science Fiction Nerd And — This Is My Genre #Tag
What is your favourite genre? Ha! As if readers stopping by my blog don't already now, but in case you didn't, it's science fiction. And the even broader umbrella: speculative fiction. Who is your favourite author in this genre? One? Only one? You're kidding me … I'd have to say, as a child, maybe Robert A. Heinlein, but in my teenage years it was probably Anne McCaffrey and C.

6 Degrees of Separation
Following on from a recent post I read in which readers create a chain of six books leading from a monthly title, The Tipping Point (2002) by Malcolm Gladwell — I thought I would join in, but, of course, having never read this title, nor knowing the author, I hit my first hurdle. Then I gave it a moment's thought and wondered about the title, 't…

Book Review: The Dime
THE DIME—Kathleen Kent's first crime novel—opens with an explosive, ugly start that will have you page turning from the get go. She also manages to bring a fresh twist to a genre and then ups the ante. Her main protagonist is a feisty narcotics cop who transfers in to Dallas from Brooklyn. Not only is she a third generation cop, she's Polish, and her roots are showing.
Q&A with Kathleen Kent
Moving from a high-powered job in the US Defense dept. to writing historical novels full-time paid off for Kathleen when she decided it was time to call it quits. But not content to write historical fiction, she then turned to (as they say) a life of crime bringing us the Detective Betty Rhyzyk series starting with The Dime. First of all, would you like to tell us a little about yourself.
Book Review: The Stockholm Octavo
THE STOCKHOLM OCTAVO by Karen Engelmann is a wonderfully written historical thriller full of intrigue, fans—and yes, I mean those kind of fans. Fans women use to use to fan themselves with, and more, with a deft hand, secretly signal to friends and lovers—hinting at mystery, murder, and a dash of romance. A story that is as much about cartomancy as it is about history, is decked out with an unusual cast of characters, 'The Eight,' who…
