For ARC Readers: my novella Ravenous Mother - A Healer is available for free right now: here

I've done a lot of things in my life. Some I'm proud of, some I'm not. But they all taught me the same thing: wasting time is a mortal sin.

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
"I saw the first film version in the 80s and the second in the 00s.

I read the book this week and was surprised to find that it was published 71 years ago :o

This explains to some degree the casual racism and sexism in it. They feel as if they've leaked" Read more of this review »
