I contacted Seanan McGuire, author of Feed under the name of Mira Grant, to ask her a few questions. She was kind enough to respond with some answers.

My second book review for FanaticSpace, and my second round of being thrown straight into an established urban fantasy series which I had no real knowledge of before receiving the book from the gracious and wonderful people over at Wunderkind PR. (Disclaimer for FTC regulations – I have received this book at no cost) I had a bit of a moment thinking about what I was getting myself into when picking up A Wild Light, third book in the Hunter Kiss series by Marjorie M. Liu.
The new FanaticSpace Forums are up and running now.
Our old forum was beginning to act strangely, so I had to shut it down and do some troubleshooting. After examining the options I decided to scrap it and move to a different board platform.
We’ve switched to forum software that more tightly integrates with the rest of the site.
Before the switch, the forums were a separate login, now there’s just one. Sign in anywhere on the site and you’re good to go.
I’ll be working on making the integration as seamless as possible, but that’s no reason to keep you waiting. The forums are open and ready for you to start posting your threads.
If there’s anything you would like added to the new forum, or the site in general, just let me know.
The Robot’s Pajamas is an interesting read. It’s a bit hard to define though. I’d call it Pop Culture Nostalgia, but you’ll have to form your own opinion. Posts about toys and games, both old and new, with some unique commentary makes this site worth checking out.
Watch out for the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content though. You’re likely to see anything over there!
(Update: Edited for Spelling. Learn from my mistakes people. Proofread!)
I’m one of those people that can be found more often than not with a book in my hand, so when I was asked to review a few books for FanaticSpace, I jumped at the chance. The first one on my list happened to be Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong, the eleventh book in her Otherworld Series. (Disclaimer for FTC regulations – I have received this Advanced Reader Copy at no cost from the PR department, Wunderkind PR)
I was a little worried that being thrown straight into a long-established series would make it much harder to review, and there was only one time that I felt a bit left out because I didn’t have the history from the prior books in the series to refer to, but unfortunately, that one time was during the climax of the story. More on that later, though, because this is almost a side-issue due to the rest of the book.
The year 2014 brought mankind two of its greatest medical breakthroughs, the cures for cancer and the common cold. Unfortunately, when the cures met there was an unexpected interaction, zombification. Kellis-Amberlee changed the nature of life and death, and in the process it change the world.
More than twenty years later civilization has adapted to the darker side of Kellis-Amberlee. One of the changes brought about is a shift away from mainstream media. Bloggers are the trusted source of news in this dangerous new era.
While covering a presidential campaign, bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason expose a terrifying conspiracy. Following this story could uncover dangerous secrets about the infected, secrets that powerful people would rather keep hidden.
