Gerry Huntman shares his writing process with us. His latest book, Guardian of the Sky Realms, a middlegrade fantasy, is out now.

This middle-grade debut by Janae Marks is highly recommended. The characters were engaging, especially Zoe who is a take charge, no-nonsense protagonist who loves to bake. When she gets a letter from her real father, whom she’s never met, and, uh oh, is in prison for a crime she learns is pretty bad, a correspondence Read More …
We are excited to be a part of THE INVISIBLE blog tour. The book is fun, yet deep, and always unpredictable. His City-States are a dystopian world much like our own, where politics and corruption take center stage way more than they should. Very engaging, a quotable line on almost every page. The Invisible is a Read More …
Station Eleven is one of my favorite post-apocalyptic novels. The story drew me in, not your run of the mill PA fare. The characters were well-developed, and enough tension in the plot to keep things interesting, but not so focused on the gloom and doom as much as a little snapshot of this group who Read More …

Rogues is an anthology edited by George R. R. Martin & Gardner Dozois. The theme, you guessed it, is rogues. As Martin says in his introduction: “Everbody loves a rogue … though sometimes we live to regret it. Scoundrels, con men, and scalawags. Ne’er-do-wells, thieves, cheats, and rascals. Bad boys and bad girls. Swindlers, seducers, deceivers, Read More …
