Song of the week: Epica’s “Blank Infinity:” As I read through this week’s assigned reading, this is the song that pervaded my mind, which I thought was very evocative of Louis’ own inner turmoil. It is Claudia that essentially keeps Louis’ thoughts from nebulously wandering into the “blank infinity,” of sorts, where existential questions lead…

Hello &Good afternoon (or evening or morning) Lestat Coven Members: Our first order of business concerns the lack of discussion, as of late, on the Lestat Book Coven Facebook Group Page.

Exciting News: Serving as editor/agent for new up and coming writer:Berenice Bejo
Update: Unfortunately, you have all been LOKI’D. This was all an elaborate April Fool’s Joke, meant to innocuously sow deceit in the minds of my blog readers. Berenice Bejo is no more real than Doctor Who, who is an entirely fictitious entity. Happy April Fool’s Day, from A Bibliophile’s Reverie. For your enjoyment, the joke…

Please,please read this through, and know that you are open to have any opinion you want about this film and other topics raised in this rant. Thank…
Inside the Writer’s Studio #1-Creating a Steampunk Epic
Oftentimes, the task of writing a novel can feel equal parts torturous and blissful. I would say that the latter bit carries more truth, since a majority of the time spent writing is torturous. It is torturous to try to sometimes pin certain characteristics down for a particular character, or write an engaging action sequence…
