I’ll put up another list when I finish Painted Girl. There are a number of folks after them, but these are the ones I’m working on for the forseeable future. Follansbee, A Land of Iron by Alex Washoe, In the Claws of the Indigen by Steve Rodgers, Horrid by L.C. My current review schedule is as follows: Restoration by J.G. My goal is 2-3 reviews a week over the next several months, but that’s also going to depend on how well my own writing is going on any given day. I have over 200 unopened submission emails (holy Hathor people!) and 72 people I’ve already committed to who are waiting on me to get their lovely books read and reviewed. I’m closing my submission queue for a few months until I can catch up on replying to all the lovely people who have been waiting. Which is where the less happy announcement comes in. A lot more time than I’d like to have spent.īut fear not! The new one is up and running smoother than Glass Lake in Rainier on a breezeless day, and I am committed to taking care of my backlog. Given that I have over 900 books on the thing between the ones all the lovely authors who’d like their books on my blog send me and the ones I’ve purchased from bookstores other than the manufacturer’s, getting it all set up again took…time. I wasn’t able to send it in for repair until the 20th, and it took the manufacturer until about a week ago to get me a new one. Right before the Futurescapes conference on June 14-16th (which was wonderful by the way). But I was determined to keep up with my reading schedule, so I finished Joe Follansbee’s Restoration and geared up to start Alex Washoe’s A Land of Iron aaaaaand… my ereader bloody broke. My right lung still isn’t fully clear, it’s been extremely difficult to get back into my workout routine (more on why that’s important here), and I’ve been struggling to get back into my writing as well. I’ve had a hell of a time recovering from the pneumonia I suffered back at the end of May through early June. I’d like to explain what happened and talk a little about what my future plans for the blog and my own work are going forward. Some of you may have noticed I haven’t posted a review in over a month after committing to a number of them a few posts ago. Hello friends, fans, readers, and fellow authors!
