As many of you know, I’m a writer. Okay, given the number of blogs I have, that seems kind of silly to announce. However, in addition to blogs, I am a writer of fiction, and today I am proud to announce that Conquest Through Determination: A Steampunk Anthology, the first print publication I have been part of, is available through Amazon.

I love the short story I contributed to this anthology, and cannot wait to get my copy in the mail.

Previously, I’ve only been published online or in something I created myself, so I am very excited about this.

My Favorite Comics – Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio (2)


23 Jan

I’ve gushed about Girl Genius before. It remains one of the best things on the internet.

I don’t read it every week. After reading it the first time, when I had a couple years worth of pages to go through, I get frustrated just reading one or two pages at a time. So, I let it sit. I go back every month or two and do all my reading at once.

I always hate when I reach the most recent entry because it means I have to wait again. But it would be even worse if it ever really ended.

The Affinity Bridge by George Mann


15 Jan

My favorite comic book ever is Ruse, a steampunk style detective story; The Affinity Bridge sets up in much the same style. We have a male detective and his female assistant. He is brilliant but she is also more than competent. We have mystery, and hints of the supernatural.

Detective stories are not my usual read, but the characters and relationships were well done and believable. Considering the book labels itself “A Newbury and Hobbes Investigation” I am looking forward to seeing the main characters again and learning more about the minor characters I was just given a taste of.

 

My Favorite Comics – Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio


27 May

If you are not reading Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio, you should be. In fact, go read it right now and come back once you’re done. It might take you a little while, but that’s okay. I’ll wait.

Girl Genius is steam punk done right. The story lines and the artwork are bright and vibrant. The characters are likable, lovable even, and the heroine is equal parts mad scientist (she will take over the world), daring adventurer (even if she has to do it country by country), and caring friend (she risks her life to save her friends).
