2.7 BIG NEWS!

Last night I finished a LitRPG book and expect a review on that soon, but in the meantime, please, hold on to your knickers.

In the next day or so, I am going to have BIG NEWS.


You know what a querying author means when they say this.



I am ecstatic, over the moon, but also, very, very hush-hush until it's all finalised and I can let the cat out of the bag for real.

2.14 Author Interview: K.M.Pohlkamp

Image
Today I’m going to be interviewing the fabulous K.M. Pohlkamp, author of Apricots and Wolfsbane . Her debut novel released in October and it is chock full of girl power and intricate details. Please check it out and support her by leaving a review if you do! Summary of Apricots and Wolfsbane Lavinia Maud craves the moment the last wisps of life leave her victim’s bodies—to behold the effects of her own poison creations. Believing confession erases the sin of murder, her morbid desires are in unity with faith, though she could never justify her skill to the magistrate she loves. At the start of the 16th century in Tudor England, Lavinia’s marks grow from tavern drunks to nobility, but rising prestige brings increased risk. When the magistrate suspects her ruse, he pressures the priest into breaking her confessional seal, pitting Lavinia’s instincts as an assassin against the tenets of love and faith. She balances revenge with her struggle to develop a tasteless poison...

3.6 Pulp fiction, no, not the movie

image from google search I'm low-key obsessed with the golden era of pulp fictions. The dime-store reads and the age in which books were being churned out over the period of three days . I'm too young to have any experience of this golden era... or am I? Wikipedia says : Pulp magazines (often referred to as "the pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called "glossies" or "slicks". Image from google search The era of pulp fiction was one of huge and rapid development for many genres, niches and some of the most curious writing. It was also rife with copy and paste stories, terrible hashed up prose and plenty of cliche. Amid the muck, long running series emerged, some of which are still going to this day, and plenty of classics were...

3.4 Author Interview with K.A.Doore

Image
Recently I had a chance to ambush K.A.Doore and squirrel an interview from her just as her hit debut hit the shelves! At the time, I hadn't gotten a chance to grab a copy yet, but now it waits in my TBR pile and I cannot emphasise how excited I am by the details behind this novel! It combines two of my favourite things; murder and fantasy. This might pop on LGBT reader's radar and for a good reason.     Tell me a little about the culture you built in this book? What did you borrow from the real world and what was made up? I really wanted to create a culture that arose logically from its setting, so I holed up in the university library for a few months researching various deserts and the people who thrive in them. Ghadid is a synthesis of what I learned and my own experiences in the Sonoran desert, as well as a fair amount of extrapolation (as you do). That said, I can still point to a number of things I borrowed, like the belief that a soul lingers for sev...
