This week we’re giving away the entire series of YA Relic Master books by Catherine Fisher, the author of the New York Times bestselling duology Incarceron and Sapphique. (Read Bill’s review of Incarceron.)

Rename this horrible cover!

Sexy Babes and…Killer Whales?

Today’s cover masterpiece was originally title The Cingulum by John Maddox Roberts. It was published in 1985 by Tor Books, and the literary world has not been the same since. That might be a slight exaggeration. Actually, I just made that up completely. The literary world barely got indigestion when The Cingulum was released, but that doesn’t stop this cover from being completely awesome.

This has all the elements of an award-winning novel. It has a sexy lady in a somewhat revealing outfit.

Thoughtful Thursday: A Dance with Dragons Giveaway

Next Tuesday is a big day for many fantasy readers — they’re quivering with excitement over the release of A Dance with Dragons. After all the years of waiting, whining and crying, all the controversies, all the epic internet flame wars… After 5 years of waiting, the next installment in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series is only days away.

Some readers have named their children after Martin’s characters, but I am, so far, not a huge fan.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It was Independence Day in the States and we blew up a respectable amount of stuff in celebration. I personally managed to unwittingly turn a Chinese lantern into a floating fireball of death. An unknown insect made a suicide dive into my wife’s cornea, but nobody was permanently damaged and we all had a good time. Despite the ongoing festivities, I managed to find a few links for you. In the coming weeks, if you find something interesting you think everyone should read, drop me a line via the contact form and let me know,

Contemplating a fantasy invasion

I work 3rd shift and often find myself sleepy at almost anytime of day or night. When I get sleepy my mind has a tendency to wander. (I have a fairly active imagination, and evidently sleep is an integral part in keeping it in check.) Last night I was sitting at my desk which overlooks a data-center containing rows and rows of large “cages” filled with various servers and communication apparatuses. As I’m staring out over the data-center I begin to imagine what kind of damage a real live gremlin could do there. I’m aware that gremlins do not exist,

Thoughtful Thursday: Fantastic quotes!

“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them” ~Mark Twain

I love quotes. I love gaining a quick and clever insight about life from someone smarter than me.  Often I find these in Science Fiction and Fantasy novels or from interviews with SFF authors. Here are a few I’ve kept in mind:

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.” ~Gandalf the Grey (The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R.
