The Martian is one of my favorite books. I’ve read it at least three times. I love reading about science, and science used well in science fiction. I first found out about it from a suggestion thread in a FB group. Here’s the weird thing: I still haven’t seen the movie. Somehow, my attempts for aContinue reading “Books I love that became Films”

I’m joining this week’s blog hosted by  Long and Short Reviews. I’ll start with the classics. The first mystery books I ever read were in elementary school. The Westing Game and Harriet the Spy. The Westing Game was a difficult mystery when I was so young and I loved the feel of solving it atContinue reading “Books I Want Youth To Discover”

Once again, I’m joining the weekly blog challenge at Long and Short Reviews. Check out some of the other authors too. The Wicked Witch of the West: I know this sounds a little strange but this was the first character that really frightened me. Even though the movie was an old classic by the time I wasContinue reading “Characters I Never Want to Meet”

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”

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”

This week blogging challenge: Fictional Worlds I’d rather not visit. Follow more bloggers at Long and Short Reviews. This was a tough one, because generally speaking if I enjoy reading books in a fictional world, I imagine myself living in them to some degree. If I see a movie that I enjoy there is aContinue reading “Fictional Worlds I’d Rather Not Visit”

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”

This week’s blogging challenge is Favorite Movies or All Time and Why. This challenge is organized by Long and Short Reviews. I’ve watched a lot of movies, particularly SF movies and animation. I took a lot of film studies courses. My list of favorites would be really long, or many reasons, so I just pickedContinue reading “Favorite Movies of All Time”

I’m joining in on Long and Short Reviews Wednesday blogging challenge with some other romance writers.  So here goes… I had a neighbor who was a huge Star Wars fan who named his son after a character in a Star Wars Extended Universe novel. Now, I’m dedicated to my SF fandoms, but I never seriouslyContinue reading “Characters I’d Name a baby after”
