IN SEKHMET'S WAKE (and the sequel)

In Sekhmet's Wake, the sequel to In Sekhmet's Shadow, has been out for a while now -- apparently, not posting as such has been a source of some confusion. I think Wake is a much stronger, weirder book than Shadow. You can find them both on Amazon.

The third novel, In Sekhmet's Hands has been outlined and I'm slowly building it out. I'm taking my time with it to let people enjoy the first two, and p Read more of this blog post »

"Another Gary Stu/Trad propaganda fantasy bites the dust. No wonder the masses love this one. You all know if he was a woman he would be hated.

The fact that most people seem to ignore the rape culture in the book (including women) doesn’t surprise me," Read more of this review »

Shy Girl by Mia Ballard
"AI's favorite barely above whispers?
- “You look amazing with that on,” he says in a voice that’s barely above a whisper
- “Good girl,” he says again when he’s finished, his voice softer now, almost a whisper
- “Woof,” I whisper, the sound barely a brea" Read more of this review »

Kill the Beast by Serra Swift
"The overall story is very highly predictable, but that was to be expected and it did not ruin the enjoyment.

What nearly did, though, was the protagonist. She starts as this rage-fueled woman, but in a way that, for the first half of the book, had me " Read more of this review »

“I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood.”
Seth Dickinson, The Monster Baru Cormorant

“I really wanted to talk to her.
I just couldn't find an algorithm that fit.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

“There's no such things as survival of the fittest. Survival of the most adequate, maybe. It doesn't matter whether a solution's optimal. All that matters is whether it beats the alternative.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

“Maybe your empathy's just a comforting lie, you ever think of that? Maybe you think you know how the other person feels but you're only feeling yourself, maybe you're even worse than me. Or maybe we're all just guessing.”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

“The odds were against her on this bout, but fuck the odds. Math was bullshit, anyway.”

I'm not going to lie, I laughed when I saw the bar graph breakdown.
