After seeing a review we had done for a science-based thriller a few months ago, Amy Rogers approached us about looking at her novel Petroplague. It sounded like a very interesting concept, so I read it. Not only was it interesting but it was also a very believable thriller, a la Michael Crichton, thanks in part to Amy’s background in microbiology and biochemistry. And she’s sponsoring an international giveaway for us to host!

For some reason, Los Angeles is…

I have noticed that a lot of libraries during the summer try to get more kids to read by having them write down every book they read over the summer. They are entered to win some prize at throughout as long as they turn in the paper with the book written on it. Well personally I think reading is a year-round thing, I am a bookworm what can I say. And reading in the winter when it's cold outside and you can snuggle under a blanket, near a fire, with some hot chocolate...sounds amazing! So I am… Continue

I’ve been writing since I was 13.  I’d recite tales of Conan the Stamp Collector in the schoolyard and have my friends in stitches.  I saw my first story published in a newsletter back in 1992 for the Creative Writers’ Sig.  They weren’t very good, but I certainly had a passion for it.  My time in the Army has been rich with characters and events from various dangerous parts of the world.  I began to think seriously about publishing short stories a few years ago after I completed a tour of…

For our book club, we read The Temple Goers by Aatish Taseer and it was a unanimous call that this was 'the best looking book' with the most baseless story we have ever read. In fact, the term, 'Don't judge a book by it's cover',  was coined just for 'The Temple Goers'!

The author did not…
