    Review: The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry

    13/02/2020 / 0 Comments

    Charley and Rob are brothers with an awkward past.  Charley a former child prodigy with the very unique ability that he can read characters out of books and have them appear in ort world.  This concept I found utterly delightful, not least the opportunity to meet some of your favourite characters in the flesh. However, for Rob its something of an embarrassment, his brother is deliberately ruining his life and always has done. Especially as Rob is a Solicitor and has a serious life that he has built with his partner Lydia. The brothers are not close and Charley feels like the kind of vague professor who is so much…

    Welcome to 2020

    Ugh I know I’ve been missing in action. I kind of ran out of steam at the end of last year the day job really took over and there were some pesky life moments getting in the way of editing podcasts and making this blog as interesting as it could be. So a quick round up.  For the first time in forever I did not complete my Good Reads Challenge and, you know what I’m not going to beat myself up over it.  It was a large number, I read very few comics and my personal life had a lot going on.   This year I’m making some exciting reads…

    Shadowrun Character History

    07/12/2019 / 0 Comments

    I was born in Cuba back near the start of the century when the world was just starting to turn properly to caca for most.  One of my earliest memories is ma madre telling Eduardo and I just what she had sacrificed to bring us into the world and how we were a disappointment and her shame. I guess I should explain, Eduardo and I were such disappointments as we were both born dwarven and it was just at the time where we were first generation freaks rather than the kids today. We got stared at a lot as children and I could not help but notice their shame. There…
