Review: Minority Report
Having disliked the original Minority Report film with Tom Cruise, I was nevertheless intrigued by the ads for the new TV show. It looked like an interesting science fiction police procedural. In fact, it looked so good, it reminded me of Almost Human. … Continue reading
Quick Anime Review: Shirobako
So I’ve been meaning to put this review up, because (spoiler alert!) Shirobako is a personal favorite of mine. It’s a 24-episode drama that aired over the Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 cours, and it’s the only anime I know … Continue reading
Agents of SHIELD or Agents of “Meh”?
I’ve had some issues with Marvel’s tv show Agents of SHIELD. Between my own blog and other blogs, it pissed me off so badly, I’ve blown about eight blog posts, and God only knows how many words on it. In the … Continue reading
Quick Review: Plastic Memories
So, one thing I’m going to start doing is reviews of shows that I’ve finished recently, which typically means recent shows (but sometimes older ones that I haven’t caught yet!). Plastic Memories aired during the Spring cour of 2015, and … Continue reading
Writing Catholic Romance
My new book, Honor At Stake, is officially posted as a vampire romance. I’ve obviously done romance before, but mostly as a subplot in the books I’ve written. With Codename: Winterborn, for example, there were two love plots going on. … Continue reading

I read Honor at Stake at the request of the author, Declan Finn. He needed a review, and now he’s got this one. Cue the maniacal laughter! Nah, I’m just giving a fellow blogger a hard time, really. Honor at … Continue reading

Writing Vatican Ninjas
I’ve always had a problem with vampire fiction in which the vampires were so secret, nobody knew they existed. Nobody. At all. Seriously, when you’re around for hundreds of years, eventually somebody is going to start talking. Which is why … Continue reading
