Book Review: Everfair by Nisi Shawl
Steampunk 3-/5
Everfair, a country created from land purchased from Belgian king, Leopold II, offers an alternate history wherein historically marginalized people experiment with freedoms they never—in our timeline—had. This book is beautifully written, through the voices of distinct and very human characters, who interact in beautifully immersive settings. I found the plot convoluted and the story too long.
Went to Bouchercon in Nashville this weekend. I’m on the LOC for Bouchercon 2026 in Calgary, so it was an excellent experience for seeing how things are currently being done.
Likely won’t get much writing done in the near future. Just had a meeting with my daughter’s wife and her palliative care nurse, followed by her Death Douala. Family matters will be taking priority for now. It’s hard at this point to get any idea of what the next few days/weeks will look like.
Book Review: Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Camping!
Went camping with family this week, so not a lot of writing, but I did begin bouncing ideas for how I want to revise book 4 of my series.
