Book Review: All the Pretty Bones
Along with tackling Rick Riordan’s take on mythology in my Michael Reads Percy Jackson series, I’ve also been reading something else this month: Camela Thompson’s supernatural thriller All the Pretty Bones: [Read more…]
Upgrade Your Story Podcast
Last week I had the pleasure of chatting with UpgradeYourStory.com’s Ally Bishop (and, briefly, her dog) about writing, comedy, and Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure. The interview went up the Upgrade Your Story podcast yesterday.

Book Review: The Kingdom by Cain S. Latrani
From Goodreads: My review of Cain S. Latrani’s insane comedic fantasy, The Kingdom…
The Kingdom by Cain S. Latrani
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If I may borrow from Forrest Gump (and that shows you how old *I* am), this book is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get. Each chapter of The Kingdom is a short story making up the larger whole, and each story contains things that are:
- Laugh-out-loud hilarious
- Absurd
- Offensive (in a funny way)
- Offensive (in a not-so-funny way)
- Meta
- Referential
- Completely bonkers
- Tacos
Presenting Michael Reads…Percy Jackson!

Geeks Unleashed Book Club
Guess what?
Um, no. Guess again. …No. No, that’s completely not correct. (And, also, eww.)
Okay, guessing time is over. Tomorrow (also known as Saturday, October 11th) at 7pm PST, I’ve got the pleasure of being this month’s featured guest on Geek Bomb’s Geeks Unleashed Book Club!
The Super Awesome Geek Show!
So this week I had my second ever podcast interview. (Click here if you missed the first one.) This time I got to hang out with John Adams, who runs the Super Awesome Geek Show! Now I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, ‘Super Awesome?’ How’d YOU get on THAT, Michael?”
You’ve got a lot of nerve, haven’t you? I’m not going to dignify that with an answer.
After a bit of talk about (of course) Zeus Is Dead and Booktrope, we geek out about other things like Farscape, Twin Peaks, and The Strain. Also cereal. Breakfast is important!
Have a listen here on the Super Awesome Geek Show site!
Oh, and a slight correction: Vanya is in Bulgaria, not Romania. My brain mixed her up geographically with Amalia Chitulescu, who designed the covers for A Shadow in the Flames and A Memory in the Black.
Sorry, Vanya!
