Book Spotlight: The Rising (Darkness Rising #3) by Kelley Armstrong

Salutations, Beardies!

Ahhhhhhh! It’s over…now what do I do?

Thankfully, The Rising arrived by post in a timely fashion, and I set fast upon it. Mostly I just lounged on the couch, and my sister sat in her chair while we read. (She is currently reading Skulduggery Pleasant. No words describe the awesomeness of that series. Check it out!) I may have startled her a few times. There was much book violence, by which I mean: hitting the object in question against a pillow whilst making noises of frustration or excitement, depending on what part of the book I was reading. And when the last page was turned, I clutched the book to my heart and implored my sister to read this trilogy next. I seriously don’t know how she puts up with me.

Book Spotlight: Welcome Home (A Short Story) by William Hage

Welcome, Beardies!

Life has been hectic towards the end of summer. What with finishing up a summer job, revving up for the start of the fall school semester, and trying to fit personal projects and goals in between, sitting down with a short story for review seemed like the perfect relaxation…so I thought. It's been amazingly difficult to find the time to do this author review. Thankfully, I was able to sit with Welcome Home and read it through with one of my kids sitting on one side, a cat curled up on the other. Having read the teaser as a possible paranormal thriller, I felt I could use the support!

Author Spotlight: Brian Rathbone (Complete with Interview)

Bonjour Beardies,

A while back (not too far, however), I did a Book Spotlight on Brian Rathbone's Call of the Herald.  The Spotlight was long overdue—too long, really, considering it was nearly a year from when I first put out the feelers for willing victims to interview.

I never forgot about Brian.  I promised him an interview, and an interview he'd receive.  I knew he had a building Fandom already, and I wanted my questions to come from a fan—me.  I had read the premise of his series, so I was already a fan...but I couldn't call myself a true fan until I had actually read his work.

After finishing Call of the Herald, I was definitely a true fan.  So, without anymore delay, here's my Author Spotlight on Brian Rathbone.
