Sophie Masson is a fascinating writer, she seems to have a wide range of abilities. From fantasy to historical war fiction to non-fictional essays. I found this one and was very impressed with the information and the writing style, very easy to read. I fell in love with the name of this ...

You know, there’s always a reason why I pick a person to scribble a few words on, sometimes the reasons don’t make a lot of sense but I have to choose somehow. Lowndes spoke to me, in my mind’s ear she sounds totally ocker as if she’s got a rather strine ...
Songket / This Territory by Noëlle Janaczewska Sometimes I find the most amazing people through liking the look of their name. Janaczewska is more of a playwright than anything else, she doesn’t shy from sensitive issues and from the look of her plays she’s really awesome at showing us the entire ...
Jinny & Cooper by Tania Ingram I came across Ingram today and loved Cooper. Cooper is a pet rat who helps Jinny get through things and if you love Cooper as much as I do then you can go to Ingram’s website and down the pattern so your child can have ...
Ancient Future: The Dark Ages by Traci Harding Harding shows that anything is possible whether you were bad at English at school, a terrible speller and dyslexic it is still possible to write a really good book, or even several really good series of books. In my stalking of her I ...
Kerry Greenwood, everyone’s heard of Greenwood. She’s the lady who found Phryne Fisher in her subconscious and quickly shared her with everyone else, again, and again, and again before they were found and shared on screen. I’m going to admit I’ve never read a Greenwood book but before but I’m sure ...
There’s something that’s been totally fascinating me at events such as SupaNova, Armageddon (now called AMC Expo) and other events such as these which include “stars” from movies and TV series. If you’re not familiar with them let me explain a little. AMC Expo is an amazing event whereby you have a ...
Who else would I write about for F? Actually, there is Jackie French but I think Fox is more appropriate. Born 1946 with rather interesting ideas and now semi-retired. Her first book, Possum Magic, was written in 1978 but it took five years and several publishers before someone in Omnibus ...
I read an article, I know, I stopped reading books to read an article…shame on me. But the article is relevant to some thoughts I’ve been having recently about my book purchases. I generally impulse buy books, rarely going to the shops to buy a specific book, rather I buy ...
I think I’m going to enjoy this series of Author by Alphabet. Just having a quick glance at the list of authors I’ve collated brings me to a lovely name and I just had to find out if she was worth writing about, boy, is she ever worth writing about! Jesse ...
Superman III by William Kotzwinkle Just filling in the last letter of my series on Male Science Fiction Authors, I was rather remiss and I’m making amends. I found this book at a market last week and realised I didn’t need to search for another author. It was at the St ...
And here is the summary for female science fiction authors. I seem to have got it right this time and not missed a single letter. I’ll find some lucky male author for K for next week and add him into the summary before I make a final decision whether to continue with ...
As promised here the summary of the male science fiction authors I’ve written about. It looks as if I’ve done two ‘J’s and missed ‘K’ entirely for which I apologise and appreciate no-one calling me out on it. A is for Isaac Asimov B is for James Blish C is for Michael ...
This is the last article dedicated to the Book Expo of 2015. I’ll try to remember to mention it when I scribble a few words about the books I got there. Waves in the Desert by Kimberly Beadle Beadle is donating some of her sales to Oxfam, putting her money where her ...
More authors from the Book Expo 2015. Monkey Business by Flavia Ursino & Kevin Coleman Where else can you find psychics and AIDS but in Monkey Business? Opal Ridge by Victoria Capper Written by a lady who knows about the bush as she’s lived there, it’s the first in a trilogy ...
