I'm a writer of SF/Fantasy stories, though most of my brain fodder comes from classic literature (don't you love Austen?) or mysteries. I don't know why my brain feeds on one thing, but creates another! I'm also partner and executive editor for a small press that publishes SF/Fantasy.

  • Seven Wonders: Everyday Things for a Healthier Planet
    • Rated 2 stars

    This is an interesting perspective but a little too simply-written for my tastes. I was looking for wonders, but got a common sense instead, and I already have a good dose of that.

  • The Complete Guide to Book Publicity
    • Rated 4 stars

    This is a really great perspective of publicity from a professional source. It's a place to start if you're searching for information, although it's slowly growing dated as time marches on. But worth reading!

    This was one of my first fantasy-esque books as a kid and remains a favorite to this day. An unsuspecting kid unleashes a wicked witch into the world, and needs a reclusive old wizard to chain her up again. Great stuff!

  • The Maker's Diet
    • Rated 5 stars

    I've read a lot of nutrition books over the years, and I've tried several approaches to good health. Jordan Rubin's Maker's Diet is chock full of excellent health information, plus his personal story which is inspiring. My family and I are going to adopt his suggestions for healing our gut and restoring vitality.

  • Terminal Mind
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book is the best of what science fiction offers: a look at the world through realistic (and scary-possible) future technology. It's also the best of what any fiction offers: an engaging tale about characters who live, breathe, and make you feel. Pick up a copy now at http://www.meadowhawkpress.com

  • The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World
    • Rated 5 stars

    We live in an extroverted culture; "shyness" is considered a character flaw, and outgoing tendencies are considered desirable and a sign of mental health. But Marti Laney writes that introverts have qualities much needed in our society as well. And she goes on to define what makes a true introvert. It's about recharging mental batteries, not just about being shy. For an introvert looking for encouragement, this book is for you (and your loved ones, so they might better understand you!).

    • Rated 5 stars

    Daily inspiration for a life-long walk. I'll never "finish" reading this one.

  • The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women

    The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women

    by Gary Rosberg, Barbara Rosberg
    • Rated 5 stars

    The Rosbergs write from a Christian perspective, but the truths are universal: men and women have basic love needs that, when met, can transform relationships. Women and men think, process, and experience life differently, and what they need to feel fulfilled in a relationship speaks to that. Highly recommended read.

  • Touched By Wonder
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book is one of my favorites. Of course! I handpicked each story (I edited it, and my small press published it). This collection includes award-winning authors and newcomers, all encompassing ordinary people who cross paths with the extraordinary. And the anthology is a breast cancer awareness fundraiser, as well. Buy it today at www.meadowhawkpress.com.
