About

I’m H.C. Newton, just some guy with a hobby that’s gotten out of control. Irresponsible Reader. Bookish Weirdo. Book Wyrm. Ink Drinker. Pilcrow addict. Appreciator of the Strange, the Neat, and/or the Yummy.

I read widely and voraciously, with little discipline (although I have my bouts).  And then I write about it—sometimes a little, sometimes more (not sure how often I get to “a lot”, so let’s go with “more” instead). I’m a Mystery junkie and have been as long as I can remember, I love Urban Fantasy, I can’t pass up good Science Fiction or Fantasy, I’ve been known to dabble in Chick Lit (‘tho, honestly, I’m more comfortable in “Lad Lit”), a decent Western will do the trick—and I’m even open to a well-written and highly recommended Romance novel.

On the Non-Fiction side, I admit I’m a bit more limited—if it catches my eye, though, I’ll read anything. I typically end up with Biography/Autobiography/Memoir or Politics on the mainstream side. I’m also a Theology Nerd, of the Reformed Protestant variety.

Anyway, the idea here is to write about these things, and other related topics—news about publishing/books/authors, books in general, and anything else that seems to fit.

Please comment, disagree, quibble, and whatnot throughout.
