Hey all, Sam here. Today, I am so very excited to be on the cover reveal team for an upcoming release. While this book won't be out until early 2025, I was immediately intrigued by the book's title...and then the fact that it is being pitched as gay "Charmed" meets "The Hunger Games." So, yeah,… Continue reading Cover Reveal: The Witch and His Crow by Ben Alderson
Hey all, Sam here. I'm very excited to announce that I have been accepted to the Kickstarter Hype Team for a really beautiful special edition of a fantastic romantasy book/series, so I'm going to talk about the Kickstarter a bit today.

Hey all, Sam here. Well all right then, I'm slowly working myself out of that post-Gen Con recovery time. It didn't help that I basically immediately went back to my full-time job with no extra day to just relax, but that's okay. Even with the need for a few days of laziness to recover from… Continue reading ARC Review: Love Across the Tabletop by Kait Disney-Leugers
Hey all, Sam here. I admit that I went into a little bit of a shutdown in the days after Gen Con.

And, I'll… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Inspiration from Gen Con Writer’s Symposium

Hey all, Sam here. Today is Day Two of Gen Con, and it is a busy day of panels at the Writer's Symposium for me.

Hey all, Sam here. Were you expecting a tabletop game related post today because it's the first day of Gen Con? Because that is absolutely what you are getting...because I absolutely love books that incorporate tabletop games (whether that's TTRPGs or any sort of board game/card game/dice game/etc), and there are more and more coming… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Taking Initiative by Elle M. Stewart
Hey all, Sam here. Yes, I know that today is the last day of July, and I normally would do my wrap-up posts on the 2nd or 3rd of the month. However, I already had planned posts for August 1st-4th due to being at Gen Con....so I didn't want to rearrange those just to fit… Continue reading July Wrap Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I guess it's time to talk about what I'm getting up to at Gen Con this year...and the answer is a whole bunch of panels (mostly at the Gen Con Writers Symposium).

Hey all, Sam here. I can't believe I'm working on my August (August?!) TBR already. Where has this year gone? I always look forward to August, because my birthday kicks off the month, and the beginning of the month also marks our annual trip to Gen Con in Indianapolis. I love going to the convention… Continue reading August TBR
