Review: Unleashing My Superpowers by Dr. Patience Mpofu

Unleashing My Superpowers by Dr. Patience Mpofu

Award-winning mining executive Dr. Patience Mpofu has gleaned recollections from her life experience and offers them with advice, instruction, and encouragement for ambitious women, especially those involved in, or considering, careers in the varying aspects of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), in Unleashing My Superpowers: How to Navigate and Succeed in a Male-Dominated Mining Work Environment.

The author believes she was given the name Patience when her parents, rather dismayed at having a third girl and no sons yet, needed to develop this quality themselves. In their African culture – her father was of the Lemba tribe – […]

Review: Opium and the Red Rose by Michael Rogers

The Mills Kept Grinding by Martin Smallridge

The Mills Kept Grinding by Martin SmallridgeThe Mills Kept Grinding by Martin Smallridge is a harrowing depiction of World War II that fleshes out characters in stark detail – both the good and the brutal – in which readers can eerily see themselves on every side of the conflict. By the end, it is hard to imagine such a brutal and sadistic Europe, which acts as a grim recollection of the past, and a reminder of what humans are capable of in the present and future.

Written as a creative literary exploration of the time period, Smallridge weaves family history, personal narrative, and fictional events into […]

Skinny House by Julie L. Seely

Skinny House by Julie L. Seely

Julie L. Seely’s Skinny House is a true American story, one of perseverance and struggle, of poverty and the graft it takes to pull one out of it. So much more than a memoir of a black family’s journey through the Great Depression, this memoir is a reflection on past generations, as Seely revives her ancestors’ stories with emotional grace and literary clarity. With a wonderful selection of old photographs, newspaper clippings, and other archival images, Seely adds vivid color to the past that for so many of us exists in stark monochrome. Indicative of a rich and storied upbringing, […]

An Interview with Mark Howard: Author of Godfrey’s Crusade

Mark HowardMark Howard is a newly published fantasy author. He studied medieval and ancient history at the graduate level, and his short story, “The Joust,” won an honorable mention at the Writers of the Future Contest.

Tell us about your book.

Godfrey’s Crusade is the fantasy novel I always wanted to read. I wanted to get certain things right about medieval battle tactics, the lord-vassal relationship, feudalism, and crusading that most other fantasy writers I’ve read didn’t seem overly concerned about. Many aspiring fantasy writers I’ve talked with appear content to dress up twenty-first-century issues in chrome breastplates and wizard robes, […]
