April 2020 Reading Wrap Up – Part One [Books]
January / February / March Part 1 / March Part 2 I am not doing great at getting these up in a timely way. Ah well. April was another month in which I finished a lot of books, which means this is going to be another two parter. April also saw me complete my 2020 Reading Goal, whichContinue reading “April 2020 Reading Wrap Up – Part One [Books]”
Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties – Tony Knighton [Books]
Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties is a collection of short crime fiction by author Tony Knighton, with the title story being the first and longest, verging almost towards novella length. This could just be a personal preference, but I struggled to get through the collection. I found the writing to be dry, and thereContinue reading “Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties – Tony Knighton [Books]”

Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]
I always find it exciting, to open up a new anthology. To discover what stories wait inside, whether it’s a genre-specific anthology covering different themes, or a themed anthology covering different genres. Dangerous Women falls into the latter camp, with stories here ranging from fantasy to sci-fi to horror to historical. And they’re good, though with theContinue reading “Dangerous Women – Edited by George R.R Martin & Gardner Dozois [Books]”
PROMPT #1: The Egg, Part 2 (Fantasy)
Part One Vetta lay before the fire, stretched out with her great head on her huge paws, looking every bit the house cat, if she weren’t ten times larger. Shadows flickered across her black and orange stripes, as Kas held up the egg. Eggs liked heat. So they kept this one as close to itContinue reading “PROMPT #1: The Egg, Part 2 (Fantasy)”
PROMPT #1: The Egg (Fantasy)

Writing Prompts
I have a stack of books and booklets with writing prompts in. I love them – always have. It’s great to mull on an idea, have a scene sparked off by just a line or image. A good writing prompt can lead to a great story. In a way, it’s always why I sometimes likeContinue reading “Writing Prompts”
