Like the headline says, I have three new reviews up at Tor.com.
The first review looks at the second in Diana Rowland’s new urban fantasy series, Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues.
The second looks at DC Comics’ latest attempt to reinvent Batman for a new generation, Batman: Earth One, written by Geoff Johns with art by Gary Frank.
The third is the sixth in Simon R. Green’s urban fantasy-meets-James Bond Secret Histories, Live and Let Drood.
Go check ‘em out!
I know, I know, it’s been a pretty busy week for me. Two more reviews have gone live in various parts of the Internet.
Over at Tor.com, I look at John Barnes‘ new YA science fiction adventure, Losers in Space. What happens when the children of celebrities stop being polite, and start getting real…while trapped in an out-of-control spaceship headed for Mars? Nothing pleasant!
Over at the Green Man Review, I conduct an in-depth, slightly rambling, extensive look at Graphic Audio, an audiobook publisher specializing in full cast adaptations with music, sound effects, spectacular voice acting and an excellent catalog of exciting books. Come see why they keep getting my money and why it’s hard for me to go back to the traditional style of audiobooks.
This is sort of a hodgepodge of updates, because today has been versatile.
1) My new review of Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne is now live over at Tor.com. Check out my coverage of this new apocalyptic YA and see why I liked it and why certain bits disturbed me.
2)I just received my contributor copy of the July 2 issue of Publishers Weekly. In it, as part of the Flying Starts theme, I interview YA author Leigh Bardugo, whose Russian-themed debut, Shadow and Bone, came out last month. I had a lovely time chatting with Leigh, and I had a blast writing this up for PW. I’m thrilled that this even has my name on the byline, so I can actually take public credit for it. 
3) Backer Surveys have gone out for Scheherazade’s Facade via the Kickstarter platform, so everyone who pledged should get the alert telling them to respond. The book is currently scheduled to come out on September 1st ot thereabouts. I’ll keep an eye on responses to make sure we don’t miss anyone.
4) Just as a reminder, I’m still looking for reviews for my new anthology, Like A Cunning Plan: Erotic Trickster Tales. If interested and willing to post a review on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, your blog, or elsewhere, please contact me.
5)As an additional thing, I’m also going to need reviews for Scheherazade’s Facade. If interested and willing to review it, let me know and I’ll see what we can do when the time comes.
That is all! For now, anyway.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve had several reviews posted on Tor.com in recent weeks.
The first is of the YA mermaid-themed Of Poseidon, by Anna Banks.
The second is a two-fer look at the second two books in Mira Grant’s zombie apocalypse/conspiracy thriller trilogy, Deadline and Blackout. (The former a Hugo nominee, FYI)
Finally, my review of Jack Campbell’s latest military SF adventure, The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: Invincible, has gone live up on SF Site.
So take a break from drinking, setting off fireworks, celebrating freedom, or mocking us silly Americans for celebrating freedom, or whatever it is you’re doing today, and go check out these reviews. Maybe you’ll find something worth reading!
My latest review for Tor.com has gone live. Head on over to see why I thought Tooth and Nail by Jennifer Safrey is enjoyable but somewhat flawed. But hey, where else will you find an urban fantasy about the tooth fairy?
Also, for those who’ve wanted to swing by Circlet Press and vote for their Best of Digital Library, I’ve been assured that the malware problem has been dealt with, with extreme prejudice, and the site is once again safe for visitors. And feel free to vote for me!
Over on Tor.com, my latest YA book review has gone live. Join me as I discuss Article 5, by Kristen Simmons. It’s a dystopian adventure set in a near-future United States where civil liberties are a fading memory, and things are only getting worse. I’d love to know what other people think of this book, so drop by and comment.
My newest book review has gone live over at Tor.com. Come join me as I discuss Myke Cole’s debut military urban fantasy book, Shadow Ops: Control Point.
And the last of my contributions to Tor.com’s military science fiction appreciation period has gone live. Head on over to see what I make of John Ringo’s Into the Looking Glass, in which I make one of the classic blunders. No, not starting a land war in Asia or going up against a Sicilian when death is on the line, but discussing authorial politics. So feel free to join the discussion.
Over on Tor.com, I take a look back at the first in John Ringo’s popular Posleen series, A Hymn Before Battle. It’s already sparked some interesting comments, but it’s not too late to join in.
