In Celebration: Reviews of Mythago Wood and Avilion by Robert Holdstock RIP 1948-2009
This my first dual review. I was offered the chance to review Avilion by The Book Smugglers (where this review originally appeared). I always try to start at the beginning when possible so I thought I’d review both Mythago Wood, that’s considered a classic and the sequel that comes after a twenty-five year wait. [...]
Catching up: Signings, books, books and books

I was lucky to get smuggled [...]

This makes attending book-related events a bit of a challenge. But when I do get to go I always come away thinking ‘wow.’ It’s [...]
Release Round-Up: Missing from May and New to June, Mostly
I had a request for more summary posts on the blog rather than spreading promotional posts out of over the month. You might still see a few promotional posts this month either because I’ve only just heard about a book and it can’t wait until July or that I’ve forgotten about it and I want [...]
