The Nerd’s Sunday Tarot: Wolf Hour
This week’s Nerd’s Sunday Tarot pull was the 8 of Wands, which basically means: buckle up, because things are about to happen fast.

Saturday Nerd First Lines: Breath of the Dragon
This week’s Saturday Nerd First Lines features Breath of the Dragon, and its opening sentence is so atmospheric I can practically hear the branches moving in the wind.

Saturday Nerd First Lines: Rings of Fate
The opening line of Rings of Fate is a great example of how voice can hook a reader immediately.
