When I planned to have a feature with Cliff Simon on my blog, I had hoped it would have been as the result of an interview with the actor. So, to be sitting here now, writing an article that honours his life and memory instead, is both unbelievable and heart-breaking. Last week, the Stargate fandom …
An Interview With Suanne Braun
A part of me still can’t believe that this interview took place and I was able to speak to the wonderfully talented actor, Suanne Braun.

Blurb Tyros – an ancient society teetering on the …
Books Of The Month: March
Well, it looks like this latest round-up is going to be short and sweet because the number of books I managed to read throughout March was a big, fat zero. Okay, so that’s unfair. I did start reading a few books – I just haven’t finished any of them yet (the reasons for this are probably pretty …
Books Of The Month: February
There’s a reason this blog post is so late, and that is purely because I thought I’d posted it already. (File that under “oopsie”). February, as it turned out though, was a very busy month in general so I didn’t get to read as often as I wanted – but I guess two books are …
