So in an effort to not over-exert myself this year, my first order of business is to better divide my time between my two blogs–this one, and the group blog I’m a part of, Operation Awesome. So every other week, when I have a new Operation Awesome post, I will link to it from here. […]
Happy New Year, everyone! We start off 2015 with a Gaslamp fantasy, THE ETERNA FILES, by Leanna Renee Hieber. I met Leanna at Phoenix Comicon last year, which I posted about here. Here’s more about THE ETERNA FILES: London, 1882: Queen Victoria appoints Harold Spire of the Metropolitan Police to Special Branch Division Omega. Omega […]
I’m in the homestretch on the second draft of my current WIP, and will be undertaking some newer writing projects in December, so The Writer Librarian will be going dark until New Year. I’ll still be on Operation Awesome every other Monday (December 15 and December 29) so feel free to find me there. And […]
I featured Tamara Mataya last year, and I’m excited to announce that her new book, TAKEN BY STORM, will debut December 2. Check out the pretty cover: And here are Tamara’s answers to some updated interview questions! TAKEN BY STORM is a great title. Does it involve a peek at Malcolm and Jayne or will […]
Lisa Renee Jones is a New York Times bestselling author, and her new book, I BELONG TO YOU, the fifth in her Inside Out series, just came out yesterday! Have a look: Master… Being that person, that man is how I define myself, how I allow the rest of the world to define me as well. […]
I was fortunate enough to meet Shelley at an RWA event in Arizona, and at a few subsequent writing conferences where she conducted workshops. Not only is she a great speaker, but her writing is fantastic. Her latest novel, THE BURIED, is the second in The Apostles series and available now (and it’s also a contender […]
I’ve slowed down with blogging here for a bit because I’m in the final throes of revisions for my current WIP, and I’m devoting more time to building my craft through short stories, scripts, and other types of media. I’m also taking some time to reassess the scope of this blog, especially after reading Jane […]
Back in 2012, I interviewed Stefan Bachmann about his debut novel, THE PECULIAR. I’m happy to report that the sequel, THE WHATNOT, just came out in paperback. Have a look: “Oh, the Sly King, the Sly King, in his towers of ash and wind.” Pikey Thomas doesn’t know how or why he can see […]
Last year, I featured A.S. King’s book REALITY BOY, which I loved. I was excited to meet her again at this year’s American Library Association Conference, where I found out about her new book. The premise is knock-your-socks-off amazing: Would you try to change the world if you thought it had no future? Graduating from […]

Her debut novel, FALLS THE SHADOW, is a unique YA science fiction thriller, and the premise grabbed me immediately: From Goodreads: When Cate Benson was a kid, her sister, Violet, died. Two hours after the funeral, Cate’s family picked up Violet’s replacement. […]
