There are many reasons for this, most related to the fact that I believe the Judeo Christian values this country was founded on, and which even the non-religious [ Read More ]
Okay, I am well aware I am behind the game, and I’ve never read the books, but I have seen all six Harry Potter movies. As a guy who’s started writing speculative fiction and has a Young Adult book planned, I felt a responsibility to be familiar with the most popular fantasy series released in [ Read More ]
