Have to share a most excellent review…

Finally got around to watching Pacific Rim. My thoughts…meh…
Okay, when commercials for Pacific Rim first hit the airwaves, I thought it looked silly (I was probably right, but I'm getting ahead of myself). It kinda looked like Transformers…
Welcoming back Robert Swartwood to the Author’s Cafe with his new release, Walk The Sky (and a book giveaway)

New review for the Gabriel trilogy – so well written I thought I’d repost here (and preen my feathers)
