Bitch-space: 1 Feb 2024

by

I’m looking at the reminder to write So Long and Thanks for all the Diamonds stuck to the bottom of my monitor and wondering, why am I hesitate to unleash this new Type Type Type method on an existing/half-finished work? What is it about TTT or an unfinished shorty that, dare I saw it, scares … Read more

#AmReading… A Spark of White Fire

by

It’s good, a space opera/fantasy mashup with gods and sentient spaceships, but… I’m conflicted. I made the mistake of reading the blurbs of the other books in the trilogy and I’m not getting happily ever after vibes, and that is not fun.

by
Screen cap from Planet of the Vampires

Space opera, it’s my favourite subgenre. I love how big the universe is, how spaceships can zip to and fro, with warp drives, hyperdrives and jump gates.

by

Athena's Ashes Book Blitz

Another book to add to my exploding book pile! At this rate, I’m never going to get any writing done. I think I need a TARDIS, anyone got one spare?
