Posted by jamesviscosi on June 21, 2009

Video Game Preview Review: “Shadow Hearts: Covenant”
Posted by jamesviscosi on June 14, 2009

Scene-Of-The-Month: June 2009
Posted by jamesviscosi on June 7, 2009
The results of voting are in and once again Dragon Stones is the readers’ choice for a scene of the month! Taking the book off the shelf and flipping to a random page got me this scene, which is quite near the beginning and, once again, involves some misfortune befalling poor Adaran. There really is a dragon in this book, honest — in fact, in this scene, Adaran and his companions have just returned from a raid on her lair. I just haven’t pulled any scenes yet in which the dragon actually appears. But if Dragon Stones keeps winning the polls, I’m sure she will turn up here eventually.
Just a reminder: The Dragon Stones PDF file can be found here.
