World-building Historical Fantasy (or, of Unicorns and Icebergs)

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on November 13, 2019August 22, 2019

The Historical Fantasy Book Club is one of my favourite FB groups (shocking, I know), and back in June they invited me for an “author takeover”. I thought rather than talking about my usual topics (Romans, and their obsession with fantastical beasts and how to cook them), I’d try to create a broader discussion, one […]

Book Review: The One, by Eric L Klein

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on April 25, 2018April 13, 2018

How My Book Reviews Help Sales

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on March 13, 2018June 17, 2018

This should help those reading them judge whether my reviews align with their views enough to be considered a good recommendation. I’ll start with what my father taught me about wine appreciation, and is pretty much […]

YES!!! (Wherein I explain how to read reviews)

by Felix the Fox (Assaph Mehr) on March 21, 2017April 5, 2018

First, a big WOOHOO!! I’ve just got another 1-star review on Amazon! Yippee! No, I’m not crazy, I know how the star system works. This particular verified purchase review says: One Star do not recall this book and I cannot give a fair critic [sic] of it. So, basically, someone bought my book, maybe read it, […]
