Necrotech is the first release from K.C. Alexander (aka Kace Alexander), a creative I am very happy to support on Patreon. Which is where I got an ARC of this awesome book. It is also the first book of a series, which is also awesome. The SINless series looks to be an exciting adventure. Spoiler free reviews are tough to
I cornered author M.J. Fifield for an interview out in the Interweb to bring you a bit of information about the author, and her works. The Writer Let’s start out with a simple question. M.J.

Some time ago, a call came out for submissions to Evil Hat for a proposed book for Don’t Rest Your Head, called Don’t Hack This Game. The project, sadly, didn’t see completion. Those of us involved were paid by Evil Hat though, cause they’re good people. Fred Hicks opened up a post on his Google Plus to talk about the

Spoiler free! Broken Eye Books have not replied to my pleas for a sequel to this book to show up in my inbox. I imagine them sitting back, the maniacal sneer of a dealer eyeing their junkie of a client upon their faces. This is a gruesome book; both the city and its residents, and the things they do to
