It’s 1929 and eleven year old Anna Francis lives with her father, George in a damp, lonely old house in Oxford, England. Life hasn’t been great for them since they fled Greece. Her mother and brother were both killed at the hands of the Turks who destroyed their city. Her father is no longer the ...
This novel is a bit of a strange mixture and it is a little disjointed in my opinion. It deals with an 11-year-old Greek girl, living in exile with her father in Oxford at the end of the 1920s. As she tries to make sense of the world in which she now lives, her life is transformed by various factors...
Another collection of outstanding Space Marines short stories by various excellent Warhammer 40K authors. The last story by Aaron Dembski-Bowden about Gaius Point really was the best one in this series.
Wow! This book was better, and different, than expected. It isn't just another book on craft. It's barely even a reference guide. It has essays packed with valuable tips written by authors I love. Sure, a few of these were not in my niche, but the ones that were blew my mind. I could not recommend t...
A Dark twisted fairy tale. An adult tale that does not shy away from graphic sexual moments or violence. Time travel and visits to an alternate plane where things are very different.I really wanted to love this book. An fairy tale set in 20th century Ireland, with something in the woods. Sounded gre...
I really enjoyed reading this. It was a little hard to follow at first, but once I got going it started to make sense. It's like a early 20th century fantasy tale mixed with faerie tale. There are some time travel aspects, but it's not exactly time travel. Really hard to explain. If you like fantasy...
I'm giving this book four stars because I enjoyed pretty much every word in it. So why not five? Because for the most part I did not come away from the book with any great insights that would change the course of my writing. It was a very entertaining read, especially Orson Scott Cards' section, ...
Was feeling in the mood for a military fantasy, and for me it was a good opportunity to return to the world of the Macht in this trilogy by Paul Kearney. I very much enjoyed the first book The Ten Thousand which was a fantasy retelling of the historical events from Xenophon's Anabasis. As far as I k...
A pretty good collection of stories about the Space Marines. It is more a collection of novellas or longer short stories as opposed to just short pieces, but it is well worth reading. There are some very good works here. I did enjoy the story about Ventris and the Ultramarines, even though if you ha...
