Admittedly, this is the first biography of Janis that I've read, however I found it incredibly hard to put down. As the jacket suggests, the book does delve into the counterculture of the time, especially in the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco - though it is by no means the focus of the book, it is undeniably about Janis, her friends and her associates. It details Janis's life from the awkward and unpopular kid in high school to the superstar that she became with all the sordid details inc… read review

Finished Fight Club on to Empire

4 years ago

I'm on to my third book of 08, and with a goal of one per month then I'm doing quite well. I doubt I'll be done Empire before the end of January (though possible) but certainly by the first week of February. I'm falling behind on reviews and I haven't been taking very good care of my group, but I will catch up on the reviews soon as well as trying to post something meaningful on the group. It'd be easier if I was to post something about a book I've read recently. Maybe what I'll do is post up … view post

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...

Just a quick announcement to friends of my latest book, #3 in the "Cassandra Virus" trilogy. Jordan, Helen, and Cassandra are back in The Black Box. For those of you who really liked the Harveys, Harvey Two is in this one as well, but for once, he might actually be on Jordan's side.

And while I'm here, I'd like to announce that my own new book, the fourth in the Warlocks of Talverdin series, is now out. It's about a new generation of characters, so although it follows on from the first three novels, it can also be read as an adventure that stands on its own.

A really funny, suspense-filled story, about a Victorian teen whose love-interest is a werewolf, whose arch-enemy is a crazed war-criminal, and whose summer holiday is turning out to involve too many assassins. I admit Marlowe is a friend of mine, but I'd love this book even if I'd never met the man!

Knights of the Sea ~ A Grim Tale of Murder, Politics, and Spoon Addiction ~ My latest book is finally out. It's a bit hard to sum up in one line, though the sub-title gives a pretty good idea of the tone...

A very promising first novel. I've reviewed it on my profile page, so I won't say much about it here beyond that I enjoyed it immensely and if you like well-written, non-simplistic teen fantasy, it's worth picking up. (And hard to put down once you do.)

Terry Pratchett

I'm reading this for the second time. It's great; all of the keen observation of human nature and the wisdom one expects from Pratchett, a cook-and-goblin romance, the Patrician's vampire lady friend, a sexy model in a false beard, and the wizards of UU. If you haven't read Pratchett yet you're missing something wonderful.
