Clutching For The Mantle Of Hephaestus

Posted on September 3, 2015 by MishaBurnett

It was Redshirts that put me over the edge. I’ll admit that I hadn’t paid much attention to the Hugo Awards in the last 20 years or so. I’d read American Gods and The City & The City and loved them … Continue reading →

Well, Gingerbread Wolves is out there and so far the response has been positive.  People don’t hate the ending as much as I expected them to–at least, no one has threatened to lynch me yet.  It is a grimmer ending … Continue reading →

Oh, Look! Another Petition To Make Amazon Change How It Does Business.

Posted on July 9, 2015 by MishaBurnett

I generally don’t comment on this kind of thing, because it’s pointless and a huge waste of time–companies have no reason to pay attention to petitions and the well run ones don’t. Like the Stop Allowing Returns On E-Books Petition, … Continue reading →

I recently stopped listening to an audiobook.  It was Arthur Clarke’s Childhood’s End, which was a book that impressed me greatly as a teenager.  It was a very good reading, too, Eric Michael Summerer was the narrator, and he has … Continue reading →

Stop Begging. Please.

Posted on February 4, 2015 by MishaBurnett

Badly written self-published books don’t make me feel embarrassed to admit that I am self published. Neither do poorly edited ones.  Or bad covers.  Or even gay dinosaur erotica. As far as I’m concerned if an author wants to publish … Continue reading →
