The Kidnap Plot – Book Review

October 4, 2020 by hpholo Leave a Comment

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 […]

H.P. Wants to Show Off Her New Dress

April 10, 2019 by hpholo Leave a Comment

This actually came about at FantaSci, but it gets its own post because IT DESERVES IT. We were bobbing around the Dealer’s Room when we happened upon the Fashions by Figment booth, and I casually mentioned that I like wearing steampunkish garb at convention appearances. Whereupon, in an absolute and divine miracle, the costumers at […]

Everything I Am I Owe to Bad Movies

March 22, 2018 by hpholo 2 Comments

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 […]

Last Exile – Anime Review

September 21, 2017 by hpholo 4 Comments

From Amazon: It’s the dawn of the Golden Age of Aviation on planet Prester, and retro-futuristic sky vehicles known as vanships dominate the horizon.

The Empire of Corpses – Anime Review

April 20, 2017 by hpholo Leave a Comment

In The Empire of Corpses, the dead walk the earth. In this reality, the famous reanimation research conducted by Viktor Frankenstein was not chased away with torches and pitchforks, but rather accepted and expanded to the point where corpse engineering is an accepted field of study and the dead are revived and repurposed for tasks […]

The Wizard’s Way – 1st Draft Complete!

October 25, 2015 by hpholo Leave a Comment

artwork by Mandy O’Brien Hey, everybody! H. P. here! I’ve been largely invisible on this blog for the past age or so. This is partly because I’m a lazy blogger and partly because I do all the marketing, layout, and graphic work for Jacob’s books while he makes the writing magic happen. Mostly, though, it’s because […]
