Today we’re spotlighting a hidden science fiction gem by David M. Kelly as part of a blog tour.  Mathematics of Eternity has flying tax cabs, futuristic cities, conspiracy theories, and high-adrenaline stakes. Think Blade Runner and The Fifth Element with a dash of Ghost In the Shell and Altered Carbon. Though, more psychological thriller than cyberpunk. Sounds enticing, doesn’t it? What's the Story About? Meet former space engineer, Joe Ballen. These days, he’s scraping a living flying cabs in flooded-out Baltimore, trying to avoid the clutches of h ..read more

Hey, Valkyries Welcome back to the Weekly Raven! How’s January going for you? As a reminder, each week we’re inviting you into the Halls of Valhalla for a taste of what we’re watching, listening to, and reading. It’s our way of passing on whatever stories are haunting us, no matter the medium. But we’d also love to hear of your hauntings as well. Grab a cuppa, a snuggly blanket, and let’s chat Alexi's Week ?

? Listen to Post We’ve finally arrived in 2023 with everything intact. Well, mostly. There might be a few scratches, dings, and dents. Nothing a bit of whiskey self-love won’t fix, though. Last year was a chaotic hot mess (seriously, who did the universe let into the kitchen?). Life kept shifting beneath our feet, and we remain unconvinced this year won’t be the same. After all, where there are humans, there are problems. Changes and unexpected twists. That’s just inevitable. Still, we remain hopeful that not all of 2023 will be madness and mayhem. Every year, we talk about the things we wi ..read more

Hey there, Valkyries How’s November going? We’d love to welcome you to The Weekly Raven, previously known as our Valkyrie Scoop.

Grab a piping hot mug of dark chocolate cocoa spiked with whiskey and pull up a chair. Don’t be shy and tell us all about the stories that have lingered with you this week. In fact, we’re dying to hear from you Because this community would be nothing without all of y ..read more

Good afternoon, Valkyries. It’s Tuesday. Again. And almost the middle of the month. Where on earth is November going?! Just a fair warning: I’m a smidge sick today. My husband gave me whatever freak throat-tickle he had the other day. I’m reporting to you guys (and work) from beneath a cascade of blankets and surrounded by an enemy of lozenge wrappers. So, please forgive the short and sweetness of this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post.  This week’s topic = book series I want to start in 2023. Yes, I tweaked it a bit from the original. Come fight me. Top Ten Tuesday was originally created ..read more

All year long, I debated writing this post because I wasn’t sure of my decision yet. I didn’t want to come across as someone ungrateful for the hundreds of ARC opportunities I’d been given. I didn’t want this decision to be clouded by memories or emotions, good and bad. I didn’t want it to be an impulsive act I’d later regret.  If I’m breaking up with ARCs, it should be a neutral and reflective moment. Not a colorful f*ck you to all the ways I feel let down by every level of publishing. Despite negative experiences, I still loved supporting authors  and publishers. I enjoyed bondin ..read more

Good morning, Valkyries! I hope the changing of the seasons has been kind to you. I’m basking in the Fall vibes, with warm cinnamon tea, sweaters, and wool socks, even though summer is trying damn hard to cling to Tennessee. Still, I am willing Winter into existence over here feel free to send me all your crisp air and snow. Please LOL I haven’t done a Top Ten Tuesday in awhile (sorry!), but I love the challenge of today’s theme: Topographic Book Covers. So, this will be a fun adventure for all of us! Top Ten Tuesday was originally created in June 2010 by The Broke and the Bookish. In Jan ..read more
