Samantha Rich

Bios and introductions are difficult for me; all the bios I’ve submitted for publications so far have been three or four sentences and focused largely on my pets. (Sadly, the nervous dog mentioned in them passed away a few months ago; she is greatly missed. The angry cat is still kicking.)

I live in Maryland with said cat. I have a day job that also involves writing, in a very non-fictional capacity. I grew up in Michigan and lived in Colorado and Missouri for college and grad school, where I studied international relations and political science.

I wrote my undergraduate honors thesis on representations of the Chechen conflict in US media, and my master’s thesis on international response to cases of genocide. While those topics aren’t necessa

Katherine Addison

A pseudonym of Sarah Monette. Both Sarah and Katherine are on Twitter as @pennyvixen. Katherine reviews nonfiction. Sarah reviews fiction. Fair warning: I read very little fiction these days.

Sarah/Katherine was born and raised in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, one of the three secret cities of the Manhattan Project.

She got her B.A. from Case Western Reserve University, her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Despite being summa cum laude, none of her degrees is of the slightest use to her in either her day job or her writing, which she feels is an object lesson for us all.

She currently lives near Madison, Wisconsin.

Robin Hobb

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I wa
