Book Review: Age of Heroes by James Lovegrove I'm not even sure where to begin with describing this book. The Greek demigods are alive and well and running around Earth? And now someone is killing them off? Hell, that's a 5-star rating just on the idea. And the book itself lived up to the hype. … Continue reading Book Review: Age of Heroes
Book Review: Hostile Takeover
Book Review: Hostile Takeover by Derek Blount This is not my typical read, but I was impressed with the story. It kept me guessing all the way through. I especially enjoyed the way Blount developed the characters. They were unique but familiar if you've ever spent time out in the real world. Readers should have … Continue reading Book Review: Hostile Takeover
Road Kill Review
"Speaking of law enforcement, Tom Bont’s “Redstick” follows a no-nonsense FBI agent whose investigation of a child killer’s disappearance takes a hairy turn when she finds the town where he disappeared has a long history of disappearances and a short fuse for criminals. Refreshingly, the story’s protagonist, Agent Angela Hollingsworth, doesn’t waste time denying the … Continue reading Road Kill Review
Surrey International Writers’ Conference 2016
Got back last night. Fantastic this year! It was good to see everyone, and the sessions were helpful. My Blue Pencil with Diana Gabaldon was spectacular. She critiqued Chapter 1 from Iron Broderick. Her words: “Tom, this is really good. Professional Quality.” Boo-YA, y’all!
Book Review: Running with the Pack
Edited by Ekaterina Sedia I picked this collection of werewolf short stories up at a used bookstore for $7.50. What a steal. Over 300 pages spanning 22 stories, the vast majority of which were five-star. Even the lowest rated one clocked in at three. If you are looking for a fantastic collection of werewolf stories, … Continue reading Book Review: Running with the Pack
NASA’s Old
My wife and I, along with some friends, took of a tour of the Houston Space Center. I was not impressed. NASA is supposed to be America's pinnacle of technological achievement, and the campus looked like something from an old Cold War movie about the Soviet Space Program. The buildings looked old and decrepit, the … Continue reading NASA’s Old

It’s About Time Fall Fell
I looked out my backyard window this morning and saw it snowing...leaves. Now, living in the Dallas/Fort Worth region doesn't afford much of an opportunity to experience the four different seasons, so when I actually catch a fall rainbow of colors falling from my trees, it's exciting. Lex Bont the Wonder Dog didn't find it … Continue reading It’s About Time Fall Fell
