Comfort Food
Once again, I’m joining the weekly blog challenge at Long and Short Reviews. Check out some of the other authors too. This week’s topic: Favorite Comfort Foods and Why. Comfort food is a dangerous one for me, because the truth is I should probably take less comfort in food, and more comfort in exercise. That being said,Continue reading “Comfort Food”
Favorite Podcasts (& YouTube)
Once again, I’m joining the weekly blog challenge at Long and Short Reviews. Check out some of the other authors too. I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I have a rather long list. Admittedly, it’s heavy on the SF/Fantasy. Blake’s 7 in Character: I’m a fan of the classic British SF Series Blake’s 7. ThereContinue reading “Favorite Podcasts (& YouTube)”
Characters I’d Want to Meet
Once again, I’d joining the weekly blog challenge at Long and Short Reviews. Check out some of the other authors too. I used to fantasize being on an episode of Midsomer Murders.

A Day in My Life
I’m participating in the weekly blogging challenge at Long and Short Reviews. I can’t say my days are terribly exciting. Go to work. Laundry. Cooking. Laundry. Cleaning. Laundry. I hate laundry. I don’t have a job where I can guarantee writing in the mornings or evenings. If freelance work is hectic, the only time IContinue reading “A Day in My Life”
Quick Review: Deadly Bargain Anthology

What to Read to learn about Science
This week’s topic from Long and Short Reviews is: What to Read to Learn About X. I choose science. (Tanith Davenport has some on The War of the Roses. Great for history buffs.) I was a humanities person. I enjoyed the few science classes that I took in college well enough, but I was neverContinue reading “What to Read to learn about Science”
SF Obscure: Flash Gordon (1980)
For my next venture into B -movies and cult favorites, I decided to sit and watch Flash Gordon. I recently saw Bohemian Rhapsody. Clearly they couldn’t cover everything and purists felt as it there was much left out to protect Freddie Mercury’s image. I didn’t mind that actually. To often, I feel like all celebContinue reading “SF Obscure: Flash Gordon (1980)”
