Introducing Monster Punk Horizon – a New GameLit Series from H.P. Holo!
Yesterday’s blog post told you there’d be interesting book-and-monster-related news, and here it is! It’s been a looooong time coming, but I’m excited to announce that I finally have a new series coming out! 😀 What new series is this, you ask? 😮 Well, read on! Where my last book The Wizard’s Way was a love letter to all things steampunk, this series is […]
Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon, Vol. 1 – Light Novel Review
We’ve established before that I’ll pick up books for the sheer WTFery of their titles alone. That said, there was no way I was going to skip Hirukawa’s Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon, Volume 1 (illustrated by Ituwa Kato). 😄 In Reborn as a Vending Machine, our nameless protagonist is […]
Giveaway – Steam + Powers
Looking for some steampunk with a bit of magic thrown in? If so, we’ve got a giveaway for you! 😀 We’ve teamed up with five of our #AuthorBuds to give away signed copies of Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings by Lydia Sherrer, Gizmos: Dreams of Steam, Volume 4 edited by Kimberly Richardson, Fey West […]
Discarded – Book Review
Never underestimate the power of a good title, y’all. I read this entirely because its series name was Dumpstermancer – and ended up finding a surprise favorite. In Discarded (Dumpstermancer #1) by Michael J. Allen, talented spell architect Elias Graham has just been released from a hellish magical prison, having served a sentence of 100 […]
Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings – Book Review
Um, bookish library wizards, snarky witch dudes, and talking cats? Sign me up! Actually, the talking cat doesn’t show up until Book 2, but that’s all the more reason to read Book 1 – to get to Book 2 faster. Of course, there are plenty of other reasons, too. 😉 In Lydia Sherrer’s Love, Lies, […]
The Kidnap Plot – Book Review
One of the benefits of having an overwhelmingly huge and ever-growing book pile is that sometimes, when you get bored, you can just dig to the bottom to see what’s been hiding there, and sometimes, you find little treasures you’d completely forgotten about. This is one of those. I happened upon Dave Butler’s The Kidnap […]

Dog Aliens #1: Raffle’s Name – Book Review
I spotted Dog Aliens #1: Raffle’s Name by Cherise Kelley on a Book Barbarian promo, and with my love of all things animal and sci-fi, how could I turn it down? In Dog Aliens, Clem is not a dog, but rather a Kaxian, an alien race that looks exactly like Earth dogs and is living […]
Everything I Am I Owe to Bad Movies
The #1 question readers ask authors is “What inspires you to write?” Many authors have deep answers like “intellectual curiosity” or “the ability to create my own reality,” but mine’s nothing of the sort. My greatest inspiration is bad movies. I enjoy good entertainment, too, of course, but looking back on my life as a […]
Entwined – Book Review
Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it’s taken away. All of it. The Keeper understands. He’s trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation. Every […]
H.P. at Liberty Con 30!, Part 1
Whew! Liberty Con 30 ended a week ago, but it’s taken me this long to recover from it – which is a sign of a great con, if I say so myself. (Also a sign that my hotel room had some of the worst soundproofing in the world. To my next door neighbors, congratulations on […]
