Writers like John Poindexter blur the line between career and calling.
His background in counterespionage gave him the realism readers crave, but his motivation remains simple: to share stories that matter.

Maybe it’s just me, but “morally gray” has become a lazy label. A character lying once doesn’t make them complex. I want messy, contradictory people I can’t immediately categorize. Thoughts? Who’s the best truly gray character you’ve read?

Every author’s story begins differently.
For Nick Davieson, it began 40 years after watching his mother type plays at night.
At 62, he wrote Skerrid Mawr, a debut that explores nature, liberation, and late-life creativity.

I’ve never understood the obsession with “moral complexity” in characters. Sometimes I just want to root for someone who’s good on purpose. Not perfect, but trying. Maybe sincerity is the real plot twist?

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review!
Thanks to @booktasters.bsky.social I got a free copy of Endeavor's Run by Tobin Marks. This is an interesting Sci-Fi, where Earth has been destroyed and re-built, and a mysterious signal is picked up from a ship that left millennium ago.

I have a favorite bookmark and I lose it in my own house at least once a week. Not even in books. It’s been in the fridge, under my pillow, and once inside a cereal box. This feels like a trust issue.

Maybe it’s just me, but I wish more fantasy books would ditch the maps. If I need a cartographer to follow the story, you’ve lost me. I care more about the characters’ hearts than their coordinates. Let’s discuss, no judgment.
