    There’s something for everyone

    ByGreta 16 October 202427 October 2025

    I’ve had a dip into this year’s Pets in Space and it’s as good as all the others in the Pets in Space limited edition anthologies. The Lone Cyborg by Honey Phillips Mattie is perfectly happy on her isolated mining claim, thank you very much. She and her cybernetic canary Sylvester are doing just fine,…

    For the Greater Good

    ByGreta 31 July 202427 October 2025

    One of the problems with writing a romance is that once the book is finished, the happy-ever-after or the happy-for-now ending is done. Time to move on to a new couple. And that can be disappointing for me, as a writer. Ever since I wrote Eye of the Mother, I had in mind that the…

    First Impressions of ‘The Acolyte’

    ByGreta 19 June 202427 October 2025

    As a dedicated Star Wars fan, I eagerly watched the first episode of The Acolyte. Despite its promising premise and diverse cast, the episode fell short with clichéd tropes, unrealistic scenes, and uninspired characters. It hasn’t captured me like The Mandalorian did, but I’ll keep watching in hopes it improves.

    ByGreta 20 October 202127 October 2025

What attracts me is the aliens and the space ships and the amazing different worlds out there. And after all,…

    Every girl would love a dragon

    ByGreta 25 August 202127 October 2025

    I had a doctor’s appointment last week. Back in the good old days (pre-covid) it was a rare opportunity to catch up on last year’s women’s magazines, although I tended to restrict myself to the cooking and gardening sections. These days there are no magazines, just a big screen telly with sub-titles. So, I take…
