The book cover and internet tell me Michael Moreci is no stranger to writing adventures in the comic form. He has written Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, other DC Superheroes, as well as acclaimed original sci-fi comics. A life long Star Wars fan, he also writes for Lucasfilm and provides content for Starwars.com. Moreci even has a rebel alliance tattoo on his forearm. This debut novel was kick started into being by his editor contacting him and saying, “You love Star Wars. Write me a love letter to […]
Everything you could ever want to know about welding
Andy Weir hit the headlines with his first novel The Martian, a tale of early exploratory missions to Mars going just a bit wrong, leading to a movie featuring Matt Damon and some potatoes (you may have found it hard to spot the difference). It was always going to be interesting to see how he followed that up, and the answer was to stick to a near-future SF novel with a decent grounding in plausible “what if” science. Artemis is set on humankind’s first lunar […]
Blah blah blah fried chicken blah blah blah Stephanie’s car gets totaled blah blah blah Stephanie makes a bad decision.
I keep saying that I won’t read more of these. And yet, here we are.

Meanwhile, Diesel is in town and sleeping […]

Is it a Stockholm syndrome romance ?
My first reaction when I saw the cover was : is he fingering her ? Their positions and faces mimicking the throes of passion can only lead us to think that. I don’t know if I am the only one but this type of cover does not entice me more to buy the book. Fortunately, I came across this book thanks to this review from Smartbitchestrashybooks. Check out their blog, it’s a great one if you are looking for romances. As I don’t want to […]
You’ve got sin in your blood
This is book two in the Blackshear Family series, and follows shortly after the ending of the first book. Once again, Ms Grant has ventured into unconventional territory with the heroine of the story who is a courtesan and former prostitute. I know that Loretta Chase has written one book with a courtesan, but that character wasn’t still involved with another man the way Lydia Slaughter is here. Lydia is a young woman who had to make her own way in the world, which meant […]
