Tech Review for Writers: reMarkable2
I got myself a piece of interesting tech this year in hopes it would get me from out in front of a computer screen more often. Meet the reMarkable2, a distraction free (i.e. it’s not connected to the entirety of the internet) e-ink tablet workhorse that’s easy on the eyes. First things first. The reMarkable2 tablet is not for everyone…

Review: Writers of the Future #33 #bookreview
I am a bit biased. I have friends whose work appears in this anthology. However, if I didn’t like it, I would have simply not reviewed it at all. The Writers of the Future anthologies always have a wide variety of stories by talented new voices in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. This one is no exception. Wonderful authors, great stories.…

Day 6: Bathin Offering & Prayers #domagick
I woke at 7, fed the cats, then went into the temple to leave offerings and prayers to Bathin. Today, in offering, I just burnt incense of frankincense and sandalwood. I said a quick prayer. I won’t lie and say it was a long one, it wasn’t. I simply asked for guidance on how to stop self-sabotage. The response I…

Pruning the Roses!! #Hausandgarten
I didn’t get a chance to do much in the way of gardening this spring. First, every weekend for awhile there brought rain, and then I ended up having surgery requiring almost one month recovery time. Now that that’s over with, I have finally been able to wander through my garden and do some of the inevitable to-do’s. I discovered…

Micrite 3D All Use Eye Cream #BeautyofMom
No, this isn’t a SPAM post. Every so often I try real products that I write honest reviews for. Sometimes I pay for those products and other times they’re given to me for my honest review. This product is the latter. I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I love eye cream. As I…

How I Fell in Love With Two Irish Writers
I didn’t mean to. I mean, I’d heard about their books and people told me I should check out their work and so I did. I put Maeve Binchy’s Circle of Friends and Paul Murray’s An Evening of Long Goodbyes on my to-be-read list and that was that. For years those books sat on the TBR list, and for years I…

Review: #Microsoft #Surface Book
It’s really no secret that I like reviewing the technology that I use just to give folks an unbiased look at what a real working creative professional thinks of everything from phones to tablets to computers. So before I review this laptop, I have to give you a little backstory. A few years back I bought a Surface RT. LOVED…

Steph’s List of the Best Genre Books of 2015
Okay – so the truth is I’ve only read about 37 books so far this year, and only some of them were published in 2015 (about 10 of them), but hear me out. Read to the end because I have an idea. After reading some of the vapid “Best of 2015” book lists from the New York Times, I found…

Why I Prefer to Promote What I Love Instead of Bashing What I Hate
Today I read an old blog post on Slate from 2012 by someone who is tired of people being nice to writers on the internet. Okay, okay – maybe that’s not exactly what I was supposed to take away from the article, but it actually *is* what I took away from it. Basically, the author of said article asks the big money…
