This feels a little weird. I’m a novelist (who should probably be working on his latest book) writing a review about a new video game…about a novelist trying to write his latest book but keeps getting distracted by other things. It’s kind of meta, I guess. That’s the correct usage…

Hearthstone

John W. Otte February 11, 2014 February 10, 2014Reviews, Video Games Blizzard, Hearthstone, review, video games 0

Fantasy Reflections: Magical Objects

John W. Otte February 8, 2014 February 7, 2014Fantasy, Questions and Polls 2

My friend and fellow author Gillian Bronte Adams asked an interesting question over at her blog yesterday. It was thought provoking, to say the least: When I saw that question, I immediately thought of the One Ring, but let’s face it, that wouldn’t be any fun, what with being chased…
