From my literary weblog.
- Judging books by the reading they encourage.
- Lois Tilton may want fantasy readers to read like writers, but I just want them to enjoy books, however they like their fiction.
- Review: Capt. Hook by J.V. Hart
- My review of YA fantasy "Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth", which follows the exploits of Captain Hook as a young man.
- Gold Out of Lead
- Inspired by a glass_cats LJ post on the alchemy of turning lead into gold, I muse on the merits of fanfic.
