IF YOU SENT A PHYSICAL COPY, it will still be reviewed and put up on the site in the coming months however. All electronic copies will be destroyed to protect any copyright infringement of the authors that have worked so hard to get their stuff out.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

This doesn't mean I'm going to NOT do book reviews, but I am taking a GIANT step backwards. The workload became so much that reading stopped being fun, and became a chore. The last thing I want to do is lose any love of reading.

So unless it's something I REALLY want to read, I've deleted it from my computer.

Good Luck!
(I know exactly where you are coming from and that's why I just do my blogs as the mood hits me)

I've been working on an new idea for a series and am still working out some of the 'kinks' such as average length and what age level of reader to aim for. I'm working on several science essay articles under the theme of 'How do we know.' I have a list of maybe twenty topics on this theme and have completed several drafts. The idea is to put them together in a full collection of perhaps 20K words or so. I've posted the first one - The Milky Way - in what should be near its completed form on my Bleeding Edge blog at:

Sorry to hear you got overwhelmed, Joe, and I'm glad to have received the wonderful reviews you gave me. Remember, you've still got a free ROGO book coming your way, to read for your own pleasure if not for review. Don't ever let anything diminish your joy of reading! Take care of yourself.

Hello there,

Two things this week. The second in my new blog series Box 010 in which I invite somebody to drop in for a chat and come up with five things they would like to see erased from existence. This week I'm talking to Simon Royale and you can find it herehttp://mtmcguire.co.uk/2013/04/10/bo...-simon-royale/.

Second thing, the Gumbee Fantasy Writers' Guild finishes its series about moments of poignancy or lurve with mine and you can find that here http://gumbeeguild.co.uk/2013/04/10/...6-m-t-mcguire/

Cheers

MTM

I managed to meet Hugh Howey briefly today at a book signing in Melbourne. I waffled on about it a bit on my review site.

I've decided to expand the output of my review site to include small fanciful articles about.... well, see if you can work it out: http://papyrus.calebblake.net/2013/0...lly-encounter/

Went to the University of Central Florida Book Fest yesterday and saw some true crime authors. Here's my brief blog post on it.

Going to do a massive overhaul of my site and get things back in order.

I have a few books on my list that I want to do, but other than that, I'm going to start fresh...I'll keep a few reviews and interviews up that I quite enjoyed, and then go from there!

I really want to get back into reading again, and really needed this break..it was getting to be way too much!!
