Emily Relaunch Cover Reveal

Reading Time 3 Mins Read
Emily will always have a special place in my heart. It is loosely based on my own high school experience, my friends and insecurities, and the early romance I had with my high school sweetheart and current husband, Kevin. I never had to deal with a pregnant mother, but Emily’s mother is based loosely on my own. And though Kevin’s hobbies tend toward music, electronics, and pool (not reading like Finn), his steadfast spirit is there on the page.

Be a Man – Chaos Walking

Reading Time 5 Mins Read
The idea of a vulnerable male character is no shocker in this day and age. Society is thankfully wising up to the fact that men have emotions and needs the same as anyone else. We get plenty of that in women’s fiction, contemporary fiction, etc. But in sci fi, action, adventure, fantasy, explosions, excitement, and romance? This softer side of the male ego is a breath of fresh air. Especially since Todd is a manly man. He’s not effeminate, soft, timid, or hesitant. And yet he is vulnerable.

Evil Loki

Loki – Obsessed with a Villain

Reading Time 7 Mins Read
Oh man, some of the best characters out there are the bad guys, and Loki is one of the best bad guys around. But what is it about this particular baddie that makes people love him so much? He’s a traitor, a bastard, annoying as hell with his little “tricks,” obsessed with power, is a low-key whiney about being adopted, and was directly responsible for tens of thousands of human deaths. But it doesn’t matter, does it? Jane socked him one in the jaw in Thor 2, and we all considered it justice enough. We were excited when Thor broke…

Table Five – Sneak Peak

Reading Time 5 Mins Read
“No, see? That’s what I’m talking about.” She gestured wildly as she spoke, and her hair blew into her face in the icy wind. “I don’t want you to empower me. I want to empower myself! I spent my entire life following Sam around like a goddamn puppy, and now he’s abandoned me and I don’t like this feeling! I don’t like that I let him do this to me. I let him do this.” She came forward and grabbed handfuls of his jacket sleeves. “I want to be brave, you know? I want to ask for sex, and be…

Rose

Maybe it’s because she was the first (and the first cut is always the deepest), but Rose was always my favorite companion. She is adventurous, outgoing, and fearless. She loves a laugh and is unfailingly compassionate. And as the Doctor said himself, she always asks the right question. While the doctor is busy gushing over some fantastically impossible circumstance or technological problem (basically missing the forest for the trees), Rose always hits the nail on the head with a simple question: “Why’s it so hot in here?”

The Intentional Breakup – A Rant

Reading Time 4 Mins Read
Nothing gets my goat worse than the intentional breakup. You know the one I mean. First you have the love interests in a sitcom slowly get together over the course of two seasons. Then yay! First kiss! First sex! Meet the parents! I love yous are exchanged. All the token, early-relationship milestones are hit one after the next. But then what? Where does your story go from there? Well, apparently down the toilet.
