It is always a pleasure to see my postman struggle up the path with book parcels for me. An honour to be considered a reviewer of note, I read as soon as I can and write reviews that are not just happyclappy quickies but essays and distribute via blogs, forums and readers websites such as Compulsive Reader.
My reading genre is not quite the same as my science fiction writing genre. Consider my current batch of review books to read.
Mitzi Szereto: In Sleeping Beauty’s Bed – erotic take on traditional fairy tales.
Sam Stone: Futile Flame – erotic vampire sequel to her Killing Kiss brilliant book
Ben Larken: The Hollows – his Pit-Stop remains my favourite horror of all contempory fiction
David Greske: Blood River – hitchiking vampire beauty – looking forward immensely to reviewing this one
K.L. Nappier: Full Wolf Moon and Bitten – I know her books are extraordinarily well crafted.
Sam Smith: Towards the unMaking of Heaven – intelligently written science fiction.
How do I find time to read, review and write my own stuff? I don’t know! If you live in Chester you’ll see me reading on the bus, in cafes, waiting for my wife in shops, while walking. And scribbling notes. It is a time problem but also a privilege to have authors consider my opinions are worthy of their publishers spending the money to send me their oeuvre.
My wife also looks at that postman and then at me, prompting my speech: No, I haven’t spent our money on these!
