Storytellers On Tour: Shadow of a Dead God by Patrick Samphire – Encore
This past week we gave you one of this year's SPFBO entrants, Shadow of a Dead God by Patrick Samphire. Our Roadies brought a wide selection of content to this show with reviews, interviews and excerpts along my bad puns regarding the title (I've no regrets...). *ahem* Now it's time to bring the show to an end and it's my pleasure to present you with the encore. Don't forget the giveaway!
The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson
I have been reading for a long time, I do tend to get excited and occasionally think some big fabulous plot is happening, only to have it not be as grand as my imagination. So, when I do read something that pushes those boundaries and let’s my imagination run with possibilities, and after a few surprises, I feel that it just might be clever enough to be actually going in that way - then, I am impressed. I have a lot of praise for a story that can do that. So, here is me praising this story, for letting me, let my imagination, run wild. Despite a rocky start, the…

What’s to come? – July 2020
With July summer heath came as well and I'm not a happy queen. Especially becaue I'm stuck inside and I still have 6 weeks to go until our vacation trip. Ugh. I'm already done with this season. On a more a positive note, we have a lot of books to read and some other content as well to keep ourselves and you entertained.
Monthly Wrap Up: June 2020
Hoo boy, June was A MONTH. And we are only halfway through 2020. It started with me working my ass off to get the blog ready for the moving. That is, we moved RockStarlit BookAsylum from Wordpress.com to a self-hosted Wordpress site and if I can say so, it looks fucking great. Which is only fair, as I worked more on this than I care to admit. On the day before the final move I basically sat before my screen for 12 hours straight to make sure everything is as it should be. And that was only the last day. But thankfully everything went well and to celebrate we announced…

Lords of Asylum by Kevin Wright
This is a book best savored like a good wine, letting it slowly dance across your palate to drop a fiery, welcomed warmth down your throat. A warmth that settles in your core and awakens your thirst for the next glass. Like Krait, you'll be eager to take that next sip and quickly run to open the next installment of The Serpent Knight Saga.

We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson
We Ride the Storm is a strong, incredible even, first book, which builds up the conflict and leaves plenty of questions to be answered in later books. It's a bloody, character driven, headless... err, endless fun. Devin Madson's voice is one worth listening to in the cacophony of the Fantasy genre, and I personally can't wait to see how far she will get with the Reborn Empire series. Hopefully not too many heads will fall in her wake.
