Fantasy Book Critic Update

Dear Readers:

Due to matters both family-related and professional, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be dedicating the same amount of time that I have been to running Fantasy Book Critic. So, effective immediately, I will no longer be conducting author interviews or writing book reviews.

On the bright side, I plan to continue posting monthly spotlights, press releases, news and hosting giveaways if possible. Additionally, I have asked Liviu C. Suciu and David Craddock to continue writing book reviews for Fantasy Book Critic and I am taking inquiries HERE from anyone who wishes to contribute to the blog :)

At this point, I just want to thank everyone who helped make Fantasy Book Critic into a bigger success than I ever thought possible. These include the authors who inspired me to blog about a subject that I passionately care about; the publicists who were willing to work with me; my fellow bloggers whose advice and support were invaluable; my contributing writers David Craddock and Liviu C. Suciu whose love for literature is just awe-inspiring; and most importantly, the readers. Let's face it. Without you there would be no Fantasy Book Critic. So thanks for reading and much love & respect…

Robert

Our First Home!!!
Current mood: excited
Category: Life

Last Wednesday my wife & I finally closed on our first home—a 4-bedroom (plus a den), 2-car garage, new construction with a tiny backyard :) So understandably, we're quite excited and have been extraordinarily busy with moving, etc. We're hoping to be fully moved by August 20th...
