CORVID-19: A RavenCon Anthology

Fiction Anthology

You’ll see all types of the family Corvidae in here: Ravens (of course), blue jays, choughs, magpies, lots and lots of crows, and even some alien corvids. The corvids are main characters and supporting players; they’re messengers, friends, and antagonists; they provide atmosphere and ambiance; and in some cases, they’re the metaphor that ties the story together. Our authors have given us a great selection of science fiction, fantasy, humor, and horror. This anthology has been created to raise money for RavenCon, a convention that’s been forced to cancel twice due to COVID-19.

Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Book Reviews!

Nonfiction, commentary

Have you ever wondered why it seems authors are often whining about book reviews? What’s the big deal anyway? How much of a difference could your one book review really make? In this opinion piece, ten-time self-published author and blogger, Toi Thomas, discusses candidly why book reviewing culture isn’t what it should be.

This is not a book about how to write book reviews and it is not a how-to book for authors to gain book reviews. This is a book about reevaluating your thought process and opinions about book reviewing culture.

Toi Thomas clearly understands that “Ain’t nobody got time for book reviews” when there are so many more important things for a book lover to do. Right? Plus, you can read this book from cover to cover in less than two hours. 100% of proceeds go to support Lit Carnivale, a book fair in the making.
