Okay, this is ridiculous. Has anyone been reading Blood Copy, HBO’s marketing strategy for the Tru Blood series?

I was in the bathroom putting up some towel hooks when I hear Ian having too much fun in the other room. Thinking he’s was in his room playing with his toys, I go see what he’s up to. I find him playing on our bed, jumping into the covers […]

Dies The Fire by SM Stirling

3 July 2008 Jesse 0

So, Jackie asked me to do a few reviews for her site – the first one is Dies The Fire by S.M. Stirling. The premise is pretty decent – what would happen if the laws of nature changed and technology just stopped working? Gunpowder burned like sawdust, electronics just stopped […]
