Book 3 of the Long Price Quartet, by Daniel Abraham. Sometimes it’s good to have faith in people. Take, for example, the third book in the Long Price Quartet. This is a fantasy epic (ha ha, try to deny it) with a hero (ditto). There’s lots of magic (actually, there’s not much magic, page by […]
by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: anybody interested in making money freelancing (not just freelance writing) should read this guide, especially the Money and Negotiation sections. She’s still updating it, so keep checking back for updates. Her husband is Dean Wesley Smith, and he has good posts on
Late, late, later. I’m working on a project to re-read all of Steven Brust’s Vlad books this year, to try to work out what’s going to happen next, or at least to understand some of the deeper currents I picked up from reading Iorich. I’m reading them in publication order. Don’t read these posts if
@MsAllieD Oh, yeah? ME AND MY COUSINS AND YOU AND YOUR COUSINS, IT'S A LINE THAT'S ALWAYS RUNNING!

by Elizabeth Bear. Well, I can’t say this was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I liked Hammered quite a bit. Does this book count as military SF? It’s about a woman who’s been used and screwed by a military black ops division in Canada. They now want her back, because the particular hell
by Kou Fumizuki. Wow. I started reading these books expecting to just love this series. Ugh. No like. Imagine Ah! My Goddess or Fruits Basket with bland, flat, stock characters who act in bland, flat, stock-character ways, and you’ve got this series in a nutshell.
