Over the past year or so, Jessie Mihalik made her fans happy by offering a couple of short fantasy/romance stories for free on her website: Books & Broadswords in early 2023, and then later, Rocks & Rapiers. These were web-serials, set in the same world, but not really linked other than that. And as you […]

Almost a year ago, Jessie Mihalik gave us a fun romantic short story as a serial on her website, more-or-less for Valentine’s Day. It was called Books & Broadswords, and I still have my fingers crossed for some merch. I really liked the story, and would love (very minor spoiler) a Books & Broadswords bookstore
A fun finale to the Starlight’s Shadow series… Capture the Sun is the third, and presumably the last, in Jessie Mihalik’s Starlight’s Shadow series. And it’s a very nice finale, wrapping up the overarching Federated Human Planets (FHP)/Valovian Empire storyline, while somehow also managing a happy ending for a “new couple”, Lexi Bowen and Nilo

I found it just a little bit slow to get started, but pretty soon the action got going, and

I originally found the first title in this series, Polaris Rising, mentioned on an e-book forum a while back, bought it and loved it. So I was happy to be given a review copy of Aurora Blazing to review for my blog. Although I mostly read mysteries, I also appreciate a good space opera and/or

I originally saw Polaris Rising mentioned on an e-book forum, and when I checked it out online, I discovered that Ilona Andrews (whose books I always enjoy) had provided nice feedback about it. So that encouraged me to (1) buy it, and (2) move it to the top of my long to-be-read list. And then
