Alright y’all, let me get one thing out there because it makes me stupidly happy: I share my birthday with the Professor. That’s right: I was born on what would have been J.R.R. Tolkien’s 100th birthday. So, for my 27th… Read More ›

Dogs of War, Adrian Tchaikovsky
Well, friends. Clearly, that hope for a more regular upload schedule over the last few months of the year worked out well. Hah. Honestly, I just got busy and had to prioritize: unfortunately, teaching; my PhD; other research; and family/work… Read More ›

The Atlantis Code, Charles Brokaw
Well, well, well. Here we are. Finally. At the beginning of a series that will, in all honesty, encompass many different types of posts (reviews, essays, rants…) and spread across a number of years. Today we are talking about the… Read More ›
