We’re so very excited to have Sandy Williams, author of The Shattered Dark here on our blog. Sandy’s guest post is all about The Things She Can’t Write Without. Welcome, Sandy! Happy Hallowe’en Five Things I Can’t Write Without My friends often ask me about my writing routine, how I write, where I get my ideas, what is my process for writing, etc. The answer to those questions is pretty boring: I sit down at my laptop, stare at my computer screen, and hopefully, type in some words. Some days, writing those words is more difficult than others, especially if [ Read More of this Review ]

But even once I had a firm handle on what the geological facts of a big eruption would be, I still didn’t know enough to write ASHFALL. Why? I had to [ Read More of this Review ]

Welcome to Badass Book Reviews’ Hidden Gems – The Canada eh? edition. Yup, 1/4 of Badass Book Reviews is Canadian. Hmm…Does that make us an international blog?

I went and Googled Canadian authors and came up with an Oprah’s Book Club list. Those aren’t the kind of authors we review on Badass Book Reviews. Not a werewolf, vampire, or a dragon on that list. No aliens or androids, either. So….I did [ Read More of this Review ]
