Gerry Huntman shares his writing process with us. His latest book, Guardian of the Sky Realms, a middlegrade fantasy, is out now. My Writing Process Gerry Huntman Writing is the most delightful job to have, and by and large, easy for me. The inspiration for a story is the easiest of all, and often requires Read More …
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 …

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 …
I am thrilled to have a guest post by Seb Doubinsky, author of Missing Signal, which I consider a literary dystopian novel that happens to have aliens (!!). If George Orwell, Franz Kafka & Philip K. Dick had a book baby…well…you get the picture. It is a quick, fast-paced page turner with brilliant writing on Read More …
I listened to the audio version of this masterfully written, haunting, and powerful novel. Sing, Unburied, Sing – the story, its characters, the atrocities of Mississipi’s Parchman prison – will stay with me forever. I can’t remember a more powerful image than that of the final scene in the book. For audio listeners, the narration Read More …
Already a huge fan of Andy Weir’s The Martian, I jumped at the chance to read an advance review copy of his upcoming novel, Artemis. At a glance, this is a story of Jazz, a tough, funny, resourceful young lady who has grown up in Artemis, a city on the moon. She makes ends meet Read More …
