Publication Announcement – The Bloody Briar

My story The Bloody Briar is now available at Swords and Sorcery magazine. It is another folktale mash-up, this time wholly European. Head over there and take a look.  Everyone will be familiar with some version of “The Briar Rose” (Sleeping Beauty), which I have intertwined with “Tam Lyn,” an originally Scottish story with variants […]

Decent story but riddled with errors

Overall the series is pretty good military scifi. Decent science, plenty of action and doesn't tax the brain cells. Pulp has its plsce.

Good concept spoiled by poor writing

This is an enjoyable read, interesting world building, likeable characters and decent pace.

However the craft is lacking. Inconsistencies, repetitions, spelling and word choice errors abound. I got bored of sending

Sylvia Plath
“There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Hunter S. Thompson
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Bob Marley
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
Bob Marley

Lois McMaster Bujold
“How like a man, to change from mask to mask like a player, concealing all intention, yet leave his heart out on the table, carelessly, unregarded, for all to behold.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Paladin of Souls
