A BAT IN THE BELFRY – Sarah Graves
This is book number sixteen in the “Home Repair is Homicide” mystery series. Wait a minute … #16? For real? Why have I never heard of this author or this series? Well, probably because it’s a ‘cozy’ mystery and I’m not such a big fan of those (I only came to realize that well after Continue reading

PIRATE UTOPIA – Bruce Sterling
I’m pretty much a sucker for anything by Bruce Sterling so I was giddy with glee to see a Bruce Sterling ARC available. This really isn’t a novel and I’m not even sure it’s long enough to be considered a novella. Novelette? Short story? In any case, this is a short work of a really Continue reading

WATERCOLOR 365 – Leslie Redhead
Wow, this is a fabulous how-to, tips & tricks art book! Artist and author Leslie Redhead approaches this subject like a page-a-day calendar, giving simple tips and encouragement for each day.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE If you mention ‘western fiction’ or simply ‘western’ to most people – even generally well-read people – they will likely have one of two first thoughts: it’s the world of Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey and/or it’s the world of cheesy gun-fights and prose so purple you’ll wonder if Crayola Continue reading

WORKSHOPPING A NEW PLAY – George Sapio
George Sapio has written what is probably the best, most definitive book on the how and the why to workshop a new play. While writing may be a solitary exercise, once words are on a page they need to be seen, read, or heard. This is especially true for playwrights who write very specifically for Continue reading

THE RIPPER’S SHADOW – Laura Joh Rowland
I’ve been fascinated by Jack the Ripper history, stories, and fiction since I first watched a particular Star Trek episode forty or so years ago (true geeks will know which episode I’m referring to). Since then I’ve been pretty much a sucker for anything Ripper-related, hence my selecting an ARC of this book. Sarah Bain Continue reading

BEARTOWN – Fredrik Backman
Based on the previous works of Fredrik Backman that I’ve read, I’ve come to think of him as one of the freshest, somber voices in literature that we’ve seen in a long time. That opinion hasn’t changed much, but with Beartown, one of the newest to be translated and published in the U.S., he begins Continue reading

ANIMATED LIFE – Floyd Norman
Part memoir, part how-to, animator Floyd Norman has a tale to tell. Norman was an animator – the old school kind that used to draw things on paper! He worked for Walt Disney during the early days and both learned a lot from the Master (Disney) and the other animators, as well as managed to Continue reading
