I finally started watching Doctor Who. Hey—wait! Don’t take away my Nerd Card! I’ve been busy. And I didn’t have cable or Netflix or anything for a while. And then I had a baby. And…yeah, I know.

It’s sexy, unusual and full of … Continue reading
Urban fantasy’s genre boundaries have grown a bit muddy. The label has become a catch-all for modern paranormal fiction–anything that doesn’t fit the happily-ever-after mold of paranormal romance or the elves-and-dwarves conventions of high fantasy.

It’s the mark of a good fantasy when whatever powers the characters have–whether it’s magic or shape-shifting or eternal life–there’s a price. There’s no free lunch. I lose interest pretty quickly if things come too easily for the hero, even if he has superpowers. That’s why I loved Jeff Somers’ recent addition to the urban … Continue reading
