I wasn’t exactly sure of the difference between a Space Opera and a Sci-Fi adventure. The internet wasn’t too much of a help, but I did learn that Space Opera’s don’t really have anything to do with music. In fact, it really is just a subcategory of Science Fiction, where the focus is on drama, […]
I always enjoy Sara Paretsky‘s work with the complexity of the clever plot details, and the action which dives the pacing. There is usually a little ordinary person fighting the big bad corporate or in today’s world, oligarchs and corruption. She has strong female characters who are smart. Lily is a retired CIA agent who […]

I always try to read everything by Loreth Anne White. She has a talent with mystery and twists. The style of The Black Orchid felt very different from most of her work. The beginning had alternating scenes from different people going on a cruise ship. The book is set up like a podcast and I […]
The Law Student is a very short story about the turning point in a college football player’s life and how he decides to pursue the law. There’s an old-fashioned, rural feel to it. Stuart finds with all the work and training in football he only plays a few minutes in each game. He’s also influenced […]
