    [Book Review] Minotaur By J.A. Rock & Peet’s Coffee Warrior Grounds

    Minotaur is 60% coming-of-age story and 40% monster hunt adventure. Set in the 1930’s, the book opens with 16 year old Thera Ballard coming to live at Rock Point Girls’ Home, an all-girls orphanage, after the last of her family washes their hands of the troublesome teen. Mad at the world and determined to hate everyone and everything, Thera feels a strong kinship with the Minotaur, a vicious sorceress with her own anger problems who once went on bloody rampage through a nearby town until she was imprisoned in the labyrinth.

    [Short Story Review] Circus Escape By Lilliana Rose & Jelks Coffee Roasters Its A Joy Flavored Coffee

    If you’re a fan of the much loved, but under-appreciated, TV show Firefly (and its companion movie Serenity), you’ll probably enjoy this short story. It’s got the same kind of wild-west-meets-space-age Steampunk vibe going on with a whole lot of robot-vs-robot thrown in.
