The soon to be released As the World Dies Volume two is a collection of short stories featuring different characters set in the same zombie infested world. Please give her a warm welcome. It is very difficult for me to pick my top ten books, TV shows, or films. I read in many different genres and enjoy a wide plethora of…

I’m pleased to welcome author Nadia Lee to the blog today. The Last Slayer is the first book in Nadia’s new urban fantasy series, The Heartstone Trilogy, published by Carina Press. So, please give a warm welcome to Amanda. A lot of authors treat themselves for meeting certain milestones, such as finishing a book, publishing a book, etc. I have “rewarded” myself a few times as well. And these are some of my favorites. 10. Sleeping in. The extra hour or two of sleep really perks me up for the…

I’m pleased to welcome author Jennifer Harlow to the blog today. Mind Over Monsters is Jennifer’s debut urban fantasy novel published by Midnight Ink. So, please give her a warm welcome. I like to think of myself as a horror movie connoisseur. I’ve seen them all, from the Universal classics to some godawful remakes which seem to be so popular right now. Most are crap, and not the fun crap like Octogator on The Brain That Wouldn’t Die. They’re just stupid or gross without being cheesy. In other words, like…

I’m pleased to welcome author Stephanie Chong to the blog today. Where Demons Fear to Tread is her debut paranormal romance novel, and the first in The Company of Angels series published by Mira Books. So, please give a warm welcome to Stephanie.

The places on my top ten list are here because I have a sentimental connection to them, not necessarily because I think they’re the best or most exciting tourist destinations….

I’m very pleased to welcome author S. G. Browne to the blog today. I’ve reviewed SG’s quirky novels, Breathers and Fated and although I liked the former I particularly loved the latter. Both books are out now and published by Piatkus Books. So, please give SG a warm welcome. I’m inspired by films as much as I am by novels, so here are my ten favorite dark comedies or quirky films (in chronological order) that have helped to warp my mind in a good way. Fargo (1996) - I love the…

It’s where I used to live and where my Strange Neighbors series takes place. I absolutely love…
