…turned up at G-Pop: The Wind by Edward Willett brought back memories of another ghostly tale by none other than Edgar Allen Poe, entitled The Tell-Tale Heart. At first you feel some sympathy toward this man who, once happily married and at home in his childhood home, finds himself alone, his wife gone and his …

A few reader comments for Lost in Translation…
…from Paperback Swap: “Great story about two empaths from different species who must work together to find common ground and avert interstellar war. Enjoyed the character development (human and alien).” “This book was a very good read for me. The characters were good and well thought out. The author took the homage of walking in …
A review of my children’s biography of Jimi Hendrix…
…has appeared in VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates), “The library magazine serving those who serve young adults.” My Enslow book Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky is reviewed along with Karen Clemens Warrick’s James Dean: Dream As If You’ll Live Forever. Both are part of a series called American Rebels, for which I also wrote my …
An Andy Nebula blog review:
“Fun old fashioned sf. I didn’t like the main characters, but it’s flippantly cheesy.” – Goblin Wintercearig. Hey, I want “Flippantly cheesy!” emblazoned on my next book. I think it’s my favorite review quote thus far.
Does this count as a review?
From Andrea Miccaver‘s LiveJournal All Guts, No Glory: Dropped the dud like a spud and am now reading Lost in Translation by Edward Willett. A much better read. For one thing, there are flying monkey dog alien things. For another, someone gets skinned on page 10 and heads explode on page 18. There’s also this …
A blogger reviews Genetics Demystified
JinxIdoru (a blog) has reviewed Genetics Demystified, and rather favorably, too: I have to say that if all of the Demystified books are as good as this one, then I am sold. It was very clear and explained complicated concepts in an understandable form. The quizzes were a great way to check my grasp of …
A nice little review of Magnesium
My editor at Rosen Publishing passed along this review of my children’s science book Magnesium yesterday: “This is the second book in this series that I have reviewed and again, the author has done a fine job of explaining what can be a complex and confusing subject. Although not a scientist, I enjoyed the anecdotal …
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
I’ve been asked a couple of times over the last day or so, presumably because people know I write science fiction, about my thoughts on the death of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Fact is, I don’t have any. I think I hit Vonnegut at the wrong point in my reading life–maybe tried to read him too …
Another review of Lost in Translation…
…this time at SF Site, and, alas, rather lukewarm. But at least she thought it was “capably written,” “brisk-paced”, had a “neatly-constructed plot,” and that “many readers will enjoy it.” So it isn’t all bad.
Another review of Lost in Translation…
…though not technically a “new” review, since it’s a review of the hardcover edition. Nevertheless, I missed it until now. It’s by Don D’Ammassa: The only previous work I’ve read by this author was some young adult fantasy, so I was curious about this science fiction novel for more mature audiences. Humanity and an alien …
Another nice blog comment about Lost in Translation
While self-Googling today (something I like to do periodically, and no, I’m not ashamed of it!) I ran across a nice mention of the paperback of Lost in Translation at a new-to-me blog called Blog Happy. Writes Nicole: Why I picked up this book: Liked the cover, then the back blurb sounded interesting. Do I …
A review of my bio of Jimi Hendrix
I found this on Amazon today: the first review I’ve seen of my children’s biography Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky(Enslow Publishers), from Booklist: From the American Rebels series, this biography introduces electric-guitar virtuoso Jimi Hendrix. Readers may be tempted to skim the opening pages, which explore Hendrix’s family tree back to the 1800s and chronicle …
