Once again, I’m joining the weekly blog challenge at Long and Short Reviews. Check out some of the other authors too. Most of my books buying comes from social media. I don’t have the luxury of book stores with lots of English language titles and I was an early fan of the e-reader. I still have myContinue reading “Books I discovered on Social Media”

SF Obscure Movie: Krull
Krull is a 1983 British-American science fiction and fantasy film starring Ken Marshall (who played Eddington on DS9. Eddington was an excellent returning character) and Lysette Anthony. It’s a cult favorite-and I understand why because it is entertaining despite not really making any sense if you think too deeply about it. It starts with PrincessContinue reading “SF Obscure Movie: Krull”
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. 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”
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)”
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
Deadly Bargain, edited by Brad Parker and Mya Lairis, was a good, solid weekend read with a variety of stories. The stories all feature the same dubious salesman, and the purchases/deals that the buyer makes. It covers a range of themes from shrunken heads, cursed jewelry, evil dolls, evil cars, and a wide variety of characters.Continue reading “Quick Review: Deadly Bargain Anthology”
SF Obscure: Requiem
Requiem is a supernatural drama Netflix original released in 2018. It’s a six part serial, one season. I don’t know if there will be more seasons, although the ending is ambiguous. It stars Lydia Wilson as Matilda Gray and Joel Fry as Harlan Fry. It took me an episode or two to place him, butContinue reading “SF Obscure: Requiem”
Fictional Worlds I’d Rather Not Visit
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”
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”
