Growing up, while her friends went to the beach and learned vital social skills, Robyn had her nose in a book or her eyes on a PBS special. After all, what kind of wrong-headed dolt would want to waste their time partying, when Marty Stouffer is about to talk about water shrews? When Ai and Estraven are braving the frozen wastes of Gethen? When Alex and his droogs are… You know, that time she probably should have gone to the beach.

Now she spends her days working in biotech and her nights thinking up new curse words to adequately describe how horrible people are. Having met with limited success in either endeavor, she vents her frustrations through crime, yelling at clouds, and writing.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE

Soooooooo, maybe you've noticed this blog hasn't been updated in a while.

That's because no one's reading it. Yup. If you're reading this, you don't exist. I'm sorry I had to be the one to break it to you.

Anyway! Feel free to linger as long as you'd like. I'm not deleting the articles or anything. Just be aware that, when the bar lights come on, you might see some stuff you'll wish you hadn't.

Oh! A Read more of this blog post »

This book had me at “Dalton’s a shy pooper.”

There’s so much to love here, including aliens whose biology and culture are actually alien, insightful commentary on the commodification of people, and a stream of that classic Ed Ashton sass from the main

That could be an option sometime in the future, if there's ever a realistic chance that I can pay the bills with it. Fingers crossed!

Take Back Magic by Casey  Blair

This quick read is a fun, action-heavy page-turner featuring a smarmy heroine who's done taking crap from her old boss. If you can relate to this, you’ll definitely enjoy it. ...more

Ruby Finley vs. the Interstellar Invasion by K. Tempest Bradford
Rate this book
Clear rating
I noped out of middle grade fiction a while back, when the genre was taken over by cynical, dystopian thrillers.
Ruby Finley vs. the Interstellar Invasion is not one of those. It’s optimistic and full of clever plot twists—some playful, some sobering.

A Coup of Tea by Casey  Blair

Is it normal for a cozy fantasy to make you alternately gasp and cheer, to the great alarm of the other passengers on the bus? Perhaps I’ve misjudged the genre, or perhaps A Coup of Tea is in a hybrid genre: cozy with adventure characteristics, maybe ...more

Clear rating
A foul-mouthed nihilist leads an army of jolly green soccer hooligans, bushido furries, a rock band, and some average Midwesterners through the kind of time loop that’s not very generous with its save points. Imagine a gorefest written by GRR Martin, ...more

Breath, Warmth, and Dream by Zig Zag Claybourne
Rate this book

A lot of people are comparing Breath, Warmth, and Dream to Terry Pratchett’s writing.

That’s wrong only because it’s more like Pratchett was reincarnated as someone with broader life experience, and they sat down by a roaring fire on a cold winter nig

A spiritual successor to Firefly, The Kuiper Belt Job somehow manages to be truer to Firefly’s vision of compassion, rebellion, and found family than the show itself. Meanwhile, the characters are as nuanced and interesting, the humor is nearly as go ...more

Quotes by Robyn Bennis  (?)

“Her eyes snapped open and she was instantly awake, alert, and ready. “Thank you, Ensign,” she said.
Kember saluted unsteadily, her face drained of blood.
“Oh, and Ensign?” Josette said, before the girl left. “That request for you to throw yourself over the side and fall straight to Hell was not a formal order. You may feel free to disregard it.”
Robyn Bennis, The Guns Above

“Respectfully, sir,” the man without eyebrows said as they ran, “you ever try not enraging people so much?”
“Once,” she said, looking over her shoulder. “It didn’t work.”
Robyn Bennis, The Guns Above

“What does one wear to an ambush?” he asked. “Is it a formal affair? I ask only because I can’t seem to decline to invitation.”
Robyn Bennis, The Guns Above
