I am a performer by trade and have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. My bookshelves are full of many genres but I have a love of fantasy, SciFi and steampunk which have only spurred my performing dreams to help one of these fabulous worlds come to life. I tend to read books with a lot of edge and grit; if it's got zombies, space battles or fantastical steam inventions, I'm in. When I'm not reading or off making my own adventures, I can be caught watching movies of every era, gaming, and being scandalously political like any good steampunk heroine.

Pregnancy is not a plot twist, it’s a literary cop out. There, I said it. This has annoyed me from day one and has become increasingly rampant among SciFi/Fantasy books. Let me tell you why. Vampires should not be able to impregnate women. It’s that simple. This idea was popularized […]
