I consider myself a Sci-Fi Lite fan. I love science fiction that is easy on the science component, more character driven than focused on futuristic techno-imaginings that require hard thinking to understand. Imagine my delight upon discovering Fortune’s Pawn, the first title in Rachel Bach’s sci-fi trilogy that is light on techno but heavy with…
We all have stories. We all have moments in our lives when we have laughed, loved and lost. The thing is, most of our stories simply aren’t interesting enough to those not immediately involved to be worthy of a book. I felt that was the case with this tale as well. Mary Sue Dunn –…

I can never decide what the best books to read in wintertime are. Obviously, if there’s something new by one of my favorite authors, I’ll dive into that. Aside from those books, though, I’m undecided. Would it be better to read something that takes place on a sunny beach? Or should I read a story…
