It took me a long time to finish this list, and I did start it in July, like usual. There’s just a lot to recommend from what I was reading. And a few things I’m not going to recommend, mentioned below. A good reading month, all in all. Read a recently published history of 1929. I […]

I had a lovely February of reading. Lots more time than I expected, which is fun. As regular readers of this feature know, I don’t recommend everything nor should I, considering I’ve also been reading 300-year-old plays for my Theatre History class. But there’s lots of good here, including a nonfiction book that everyone in […]

We did a Kickstarter earlier in the year for four of my crime novellas. “Kizzie” is one of those. It was just released wide this month, and now, those of you who don’t participate in Kickstarters can get your copy. The book is available in ebook and in paper editions. Here’s the sales copy: A […]

I started the Holiday Recommended Reading List when I realized that I point out all the great holiday stories in January, after the season has passed. I am always a month behind in reporting what I read, and that will continue as I catch up on the Recommended Reading List. I got behind this year, […]

Right now, every single person I speak to in the United States mentions how stressed they are. We have a lot going on here. It’s a week from the election, two days from Halloween, and it’s been a weird summer (at least here in Las Vegas). At WMG, we’ve been dealing with all sorts of […]

Yes, yes, this one is late. Yes, it’s filled with December recommendations. The reason it’s late, though, is because I read a lot in December and got behind on recording it. So there’s 3,000 words of recommendations here. And now, you get the introduction I wrote almost 2 months ago… My reading behavior is finally […]

I started the Holiday Recommended Reading List when I realized that I point out all the great holiday stories in January, after the season has passed. I am always a month behind in reporting what I read, and that will continue as I catch up on the Recommended Reading List. I got behind this year, […]
Continue ReadingI read a lot in December because I switched my schedule around, and prioritized a few other things. (I’ll probably blog about that at some point.) Having effective glasses also helped, more than I expected. I don’t have hardly any holiday stories to recommend because we set our deadlines for next year’s Holiday Spectacular in […]
