I was really, really lucky in my choices of reading material in February and early March. Five of the nine books I read between the beginning of February and the first day of spring have been books I would grade at B+ or above, which means that they’re recommended (by me) reads. It made me(…)

Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors, and today I get to interview her on topics including her forthcoming novel, her best-selling series, and her scary, scary fairies. You can read my review here. 1. First off, let’s talk about your newest novel! Fair Game, is the latest entry in your Alpha and Omega(…)

Dear Ms Briggs, I’m not just an avid reader of your Mercy Thompson series and your Alpha & Omega series, I’m the sort of fan who counts off the days until your next book like a kid counting the days until Christmas. But the problem with Christmas is that the wait can make even good(…)

March is sparse with recommendations but save your money because April has a full slate. Historical The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh (reissued in a 2-in-1 with A Promise of Spring, which I’m NOT recommending). Recommended by Janine and Sunita. Reviewed here. PNR Fair Game by Patricia Briggs. Recommended by Josephine, Janine, and Jane (The(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs, I got drawn into your Alpha and Omega series after reading the first story, a short story by the same name, in the anthology On the Prowl. I actually read the story at the urging of Janine; on my own I would likely not have picked up a werewolf romance. But Janine(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs: I’m pretty amazed and delighted at the consistency of your writing. Even though you have increased your writing schedule to include one more book release, it still seems the quality of your work has remained the same. As my fellow reviewer, Jayne, would say “Huzzah”. I’ll confess that I found the book(…)

I was browsing books last night and came across Patricia Briggs’ Silver Borne (non affiliate Kindle link). Right now the Kindle price is $9.99 if you pre-order. My understanding is that Kindle pre -orders do count for bestseller lists so you can get the book now and still help out a favorite author. Amazon is(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs, Even though I adored “Alpha and Omega” in the anthology On the Prowl, the story which introduced readers to the werewolves Charles and Anna, and also loved the first novel in the series which follows these characters, Cry Wolf, I’m not sure I’m the best person to review Hunting Ground, the latest(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs, I always approach an old favorite with trepidation. So often they were favorites because of the person I was at that time in my life, and having changed, they no longer affect me as they once did. But sometimes I’m lucky and I find that it was something more timeless and I(…)

Got your credit card ready? Okay, then let’s go shopping. This month, we’ve got some hardcover and trade paperback books that we are recommending but given that we had slim recommendations in past months, we hope you won’t mind. If money’s tight, try the library or the used bookstore. Courtesan’s Wager by Claudia Dain. I’m(…)

Warning: there are slight spoilers in this review for Iron Kissed, the previous book in the Mercy Thompson series. Dear Ms. Briggs: I read on JMC’s blog the other day that she was having a hard time crafting her thoughts about Bujold’s Sharing Knife: Horizon without coming accross as an incoherent fan girl. I’m a(…)
