Whenever I’m reading a book, I have this silent conversation with the author in my head. This is particularly true for indie authors I’m reviewing, but most authors are ‘targeted’. Sometimes, there are more people in my head. So if you’re feeling like someone is walking on your grave, it might be me, reading your […]

Book Review: Nine Perfect Strangers, by Liane Moriarty
Rather uncharacteristically, I read this international best seller soon after its release (following a binge of childhood-era fantasy, cause hey! squirrel!). I was drawn by several factors: Aussie author (a neighbour, one suburb over), worldwide success, and — not in the least — Moriarty’s hilarious author’s bio.

It had the unfortunate effect of making my to-read list even longer, but the benefits of reading some incredible works far outweigh this. One such author is Dan Buri. We connected through social media, chatted, and had found a common language even though our […]
Radio Ga Ga
No, not Lady Gaga. Queen. The rock band. What’s wrong with this generation? Anyway. Radio is not dead. And to prove it, I was recently been on two radio shows! First is Jessie’s POV on 98K. Jessie runs a current affair show during the week, and a fairly-random-but-often-book-related show on weekends. Listen to interview here: http://www.spreaker.com/user/commongroundradio/assaph-mehr (skip about 4 minutes […]
