Review Request: Vorodin’s Lair, by J.V. Hilliard
Graytorris the Mad – that is the name of the big bad – seeks vengeance against the order that exiled him (Cathedral of the Watchful Eye) while trying to find a cure for his own affliction. To this ends he hunts Daemus, a low Keeper of the Cathedral of the Watchful Eye, whose visions lead him to the sorcerer Vorodin. The fate of more than just the followers of Erud lays in the balance, as the answers Vorodin give could launch Daemus – and the realm – to the brink of war.

Review Request: Drunk Drivers by Matthias Lindgaard
**Reviewer’s note about Drunk Drivers, I am going through my TBR list. Unfortunately, I am woefully out of date on sum, and this book has since gone unavailable in the market. I will leave the link still for when it comes back.
Drunken Drivers is a bit of an enigma to me. It is a blur of debauchery that scrapes the barrel: a raw and unexpected take on alcoholism, with all its lows, that yet somehow manages to stagger on into unexpected highs of storytelling.

Hey folks,
Today I have an interesting one for you, and a little different format from usual. A little Q&A with Joe Bonadonna , one of the authors of the fantasy short story collection Heroka: Dragon Eaters. The rest of the post takes us the novel itself, and a brief bio on the editor (and also one of the authors) of the book, Janet Morris.
Unfortunately we are a bit outside of the timeframe for the giveaway, but still it is an interesting read. Read on below to find out what’s it like to grow up in a book bindery, and some dips into what one of the other authors, Joe Bonadonna uses for her inspiration to write. There is also some good information there for any of you fellow writers out there, especially the points on dialog!
