Alien words

Talking Tribble: My Fascination with Alien words—and Where The Heck Are The Bathrooms?

Searching For Meaning, What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzNovember 21, 2013Leave a comment

This might surprise some of you (or maybe not), but I was pretty much a nerd in middle school and high school (as opposed to the super cool person I am now). Thus, my fascination with alien words. A few years ago, I showed my daughter, who was then in 8th grade, a page from…

Sci-fi Month

How Did A Nice Girl Like Me End Up With An Alien Like You? It’s Sci-fi Month

For Writers, What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzNovember 5, 20137 Comments

You thought November was all turkeys and parades, but I’m telling you now, November is Sci-Fi Month! So… Throw an alien in the pot and add some spaceships to that parade! As some of you know, I like science fiction. (Maybe my twitter name gave it away?) Anyway, I’m not a scientist, nor did I grow…

SERIES: To Be or Not To Be (and when to stop being…) The Double Helix Series

For Writers, What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzSeptember 25, 2013Leave a comment

The following is a guest post written by author, Jade Kerrion SERIES: To Be or Not To Be (and when to stop being…) The Double Helix Series If Amazon (the company) were a river and all the books in its vast online repository were drops of water, you wouldn’t be able to skim a pebble…

What's on my bookshelf

What’s on my bookshelf? You asked for it!

What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzFebruary 28, 2013Leave a comment

Sit me down, talk to me face to face and I’ll tell you exactly what I think about a book. But I don’t enjoy writing reviews. Instead, I’ll be happy to tell what’s on my bookshelf. The thought of writing something negative about a book and posting it for all the world to see—it terrifies…

Three Great YA Books

Three Great YA Books to read over the holidays

What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzNovember 21, 2012Leave a comment

Let’s be honest, during the holidays, I’m too easily distracted by turkeys, big balloons, holiday lights, and snowmen to be much of an effective writer. One thing I am good at is making myself a cup of hot cocoa and curling up with a good book to read. Thus, today I’m bringing you my suggestions for…

many books

So Many Books, So little time… I have a solution for that!

What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzOctober 13, 2012Leave a comment

As a blogger who reads and reviews (discusses) books and a writer who is constantly submitting her books for review, I can’t tell you the number of times the expression, “So many books, so little time!” has come up in my correspondence with other bloggers and reviewers. Well, I’m here today to announce that I’ve…

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Across the Universe, by Beth Revis

What's On My BookshelfBy LJ MetzJuly 29, 2012Leave a comment

What intrigued me about Across The Universe wasn’t the promise of yet another YA love story or even a murder mystery set aboard a generation ship. No, what intrigued me was a premise that, in my own geeky way, I’d often wondered about. What if we could be cryogenically frozen alive? Would we dream? Would…

Blogs I Love!By LJ MetzJuly 19, 2012Leave a comment

From a post entitled: Aelita, Queen of Mars. 1924 I prefer to subscribe to blogs by email. Yet, I must admit to sometimes deleting the emailed posts before I even read them. Hey, life is busy, time is short and choices must be made. (I do read most of them, I promise) However, I have…

SFNetcast: Your Source for Indie Sci-fi on the Web!

Searching For MeaningBy LJ MetzJune 6, 2012Leave a comment

Just returned from a road trip down south, Savannah, Georgia way! Beautiful weather, gorgeous trees, plus lots of historic places and ghosts (or so they say…). However, it’s what happened while I was away, via the Internet, that really has me excited. SFNetcast.com, your source for indie Science Fiction on the web, is featuring me, Lorijo Metz,…
