Review of Developing Minds by Jonathan LaPoma

by Chantelle Atkins

A gritty, humorous and believable tale of the dysfunctional lives of graduate teachers, with fantastic characters and perfect dialogue.

The Writer’s Mistress

by Steve Wetherell

Like many of you, I was disappointed by fantasy-writer/man-bear G.R.R Martin’s announcement that he wouldn’t meet his deadline for completing the next Game of Thrones book. Disappointed, but also unsurprised. The GoT universe is now so vast that I’m genuinely surprised Martin can fit it all in his head without incest and murder dribbling out of his nose. How does he even function in the real world with all that going on? Even those of us who aren’t writing enough books to build a house with can have trouble balancing our fictional worlds with our real ones.
