The Inspiration of Distraction
As a writer, I usually keep myself open to ideas. I read fantasy novels, watch bad sci fi movies, play open world video games and talk about my writing with family and friends, hoping to spark new ideas for stories. I have no idea where inspiration comes from, but I had an experience the other day which showed me what I’ve been doing wrong.

of
A Tide of Black Steel (Age of Wrath, #1):
"3.5 Stars
This is a solid start to a new epic fantasy story. It's clear that this author has experience and again offers a solid story. However my rating reflects the fact that I personally wasn't overly interested in the story this author was telling." Read more of this review » |

"4.0 Stars
This is one of my favourite novels by Adrian Tchaikovsky, who is easily one of the best (and most prolific) science fiction authors writing right now. This is the story I wanted Mercy of the Gods to be. Both novels address some similar themes" Read more of this review » |

Excellent prose and setting beset by plot contrivances and Dues Ex Machina. This book was only okay but felt it had major flaws that definitely degraded my reading experience and earned only three stars from me. First with the good: the setting. Turn ...more |

“Hamas is regularly described as 'Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.' One will be hard put to find something like 'democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus'—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable.”

“What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.”

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

“In these pages, we have made propositions to meet those challenges: a sharply progressive wealth tax to curb the forms of rent extraction associated with extreme and entrenched wealth, an effective taxation of globe-straddling companies to reconcile globalization with tax justice, a national income tax to fund the modern social state and alleviate the crushing cost of health care.”
