A bit of bummer/yay news for us Gerard Butler fans (and some goodie news for us Cam ooglers). Priest fans have been campaigning for our favorite Scotsmen to take up the role of the vampire hunting lead character. Just a few days ago, Paul Bettany was confirmed to take the leading role of the film based on the TokyoPop manga created by Min-Woo Hyung. Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to

I know I rave about this show all the time but it is awesome.

Now YT has put up the entire Starhunter 2300 series for your viewing pleasure. Episodes 1-22 with some of the most diverse, amazing and fun characters in a futuristic setting. Not to mention a burgeoning romance which I love in my sci-fi. This was a continuing series from Starhunter both dealing with the same universe of colonies, bounty hunters, raiders, divinity clusters and government conspiracies. This is an awesome show if you're

This is my first read of a Suzanne Brockmann book and now I know what all the fuss was about! The Admiral's Bride is a reissue from her Silhouette Intimate Moments edition and it's a meaty one. I grabbed this because I was looking for some older heroes/younger heroines contemporaries and since I loved romantic suspense I thought this would be a good start. What an awesome story this turned out to be. I had planned to only read it in between my others but I end

Things have been so crazy here that I've been relagated to checking Nathan Bransford's This Week in Publishing posts for news summaries! Not that it's a bad thing at all. ;-)

Dear Author pointed to an article that was pretty heavy. Daily Kos reports that "PA Senate passes 50% cut in library funding". This is horrible because I know a lot of my reader friends use this as a source of their book reading. Not to mention the publishers who sell directly to libraries.

Self publishing is taking off and

Hey everyone!

I'm guest blogging today at the Paranormal Romantics blog where I reflect on the genre as a whole and take another look at the frighteningly large TBR pile. Eeek!

June's newsletter should go out in a few days while I gather some info and books for the next contest so keep an eye out for that.

My online time will be a bit limited as I catch up on some projects but I should pop on and off with some goodie news and reviews from some books I'm currently reading. These are some good ones,

This month marks the return of author spotlights so get those TBR piles ready to have more books added. I'll be bringing you some new and upcoming authors to try!

This month we have a native Texan first published at the age of sixteen. Since then she has since been published in numerous magazines, anthologies, journals, and reviews.

A Writer's Dream would like to welcome poet and award winning author Cairol "C.A." Dawson!

Cairol has taken home places in the General Edmond C. Lynch Memorial Award, T

This blog post was going to be split into two reviews for Star Trek and Terminator Salvation but I saw a link in both movies that would serve as a better theme for this blog.

Someone on a board I frequent mentioned that the new Salvation must have forgotten the strong complex female character of Sarah Connor in T2, the female Terminator kickin' booty in T3 and the leading women of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the title character herself and android Cameron. After seeing the new Star Trek film I w

I had heard about the Dresden Files in urban fantasy circles but never had a chance to check it out until the tv show came to Sci-Fi. I enjoyed it and was sad to see it go. After that I grabbed the first few and had been meaning to read it sometime in the near future. Recently I got a hold of the audio for this book and thought I'd pop it in. What a great story! James Marsters of Buffy fame does a great job narrating Harry's story which reads like a day in the life of a wizard detective. It feel
