I really wanted to like Paul Melko's "Singularity Ring". I'm a sucker for everything that has Singularity in the title. But it failed to draw me in.

It's been quite some time (five years) since David J. Schow's last novel, Bullets of Rain , a twisting razorwire book of v iolence, identity, and mad nature (human, animal, environmental).

His Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee novels, set in modern-day Navajo culture, are wonderful excursions into a world...even as age began to rob him of sight and hearing, and rheumatoid arthritis crippled his hands. Sadly, if you have read Hillerman's latest book, you have read his last book.
My computer has been off for the last 48 hours. That NEVER happens! But I've been away from home most of this weekend, one day for shopping (yuck) and family time (yay), and one day for the SCBWI Writers' Day in Thousand Oaks. I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but I haven't been to any sort of writing event for almost five years. I did go to a writing class with Gerald DiPego in the spring which...
