Review of "We Could Be Villains'
Avoid spoilers. Don’t get fired. Defeat a not-so-fictional supervillain? Seventeen-year-old fangirl Rosemary Collins lives for VIGIL & ANTE Studios movies. From action-packed superhero fights to sweet character moments, she’s here for it all. But in a real-life crossover no one saw coming, the fandom’s heartthrob supervillain, Ironfall, isn’t as fictional as the film studio wants her to believe. Beyond the glamorous red carpet lies the government’s most guarded secret: the movies are real. Armed with a devilish grin and a wit as sharp as his knives, Ironfall needs her help, and refusing means he’ll kill her parents. Her only other option involves spying on him for the government’s secret superhero division. Suspended between fact and what she thought was fiction, Rosemary must join her heroes and create an impenetrable web of lies—or guarantee her parents’ safety as she watches the world burn at its adored villain’s hand.

Mermaids ( introduction)
The Mythical Sea Creatures of Legend:(Mermaids). The mermaid legend is one of the most well-known ones connected with the ocean, which has long been a source of wonder and curiosity for people all over the world. For generations, people have been fascinated by these half-human, half-fish beings, which have served as the basis for many folktales, mythologies, and artistic creations. Mermaids have evolved into an enduring representation of the secrets and wonders of the sea thanks to their beauty, magical prowess, seductive singing, and healing abilities. The Mermaid Myth's History The roots of the mermaid story are still unknown despite their popularity in popular culture. According to some historians, stories about sea goddesses and water spirits that were prevalent in many ancient societies may have served as inspiration for the concept of mermaids. Others cite the earliest mermaid customs, which originate in Assyrian antiquity. In ancient mythologies, the goddess Atargatis was frequently shown as a hybrid of a person and a fish that was thought to represent the might and grandeur of the sea. As the mermaid tale developed over time, numerous civilizations started to connect these fabled beings with varied characteristics and skills. Mermaids were known as sirens in Greek mythology, where it was thought that they would seduce sailors into drowning with their seductive songs. Merrows, or sea-maidens, as they were known in Scandinavian legend, were described as possessing the ability to prophesy the future and control the weather. Mermaids were adored as protectors of the sea and thought to have the power to heal the ill and defend mariners from harm in many cultures. The Mermaid's Popular Culture The fairy tale "The Little Mermaid," which was first released in 1837, is probably the best-known example of a mermaid in popular culture. A mermaid who falls in love with a human prince and is prepared to give up everything to be with him is the subject of this timeless tale. Over the years, the tale has been adapted into a number of films, TV shows, and stage productions, which has helped to make the mermaid legend more well-known among fans. Mermaids have been a frequently discussed topic in contemporary culture in recent years. Mermaids have captivated viewers of all ages, from the 1989 Disney film "The Little Mermaid" to the more contemporary TV series "Siren." Mermaids have inspired a broad variety of works of art, literature, and music, in addition to their depiction in films and television programs. They have also come to be seen in many cultures as a representation of female freedom and empowerment. The Mermaid in Art Over the years, mermaids' beauty and mystique have inspired countless artists, who have created works that range from the whimsical to the eerie. Mermaids have been portrayed in various ways throughout history, from ancient sculptures and paintings to contemporary graphics and digital art. While some artists have emphasized the grace and beauty of these mythical creatures, others have looked into their darker, more enigmatic sides. Mermaids have recently gained significance in the realm of art as a representation of female liberty and empowerment. As strong, independent beings who are in charge of their own fates, mermaids have been portrayed by many artists as a way to challenge conventional gender roles and stereotypes. The mermaid has evolved into a potent representation of feminine strength and resiliency thanks to feminist art and body acceptance campaigns. Conclusion For ages, mermaids have captivated people's imaginations all around the world, and their eternal allure shows no signs of waning. Whether they are perceived as strong and ferocious sea guardians or seductive and enigmatic creatures.

I am grateful to Vocal for giving me my voice back
Vocal truly did give me my voice back. I had a long period of time where I didn’t write, almost ten years or more. I couldn’t write. It was beyond difficult. Motherhood was a challenge but so was depression. Especially if you weren’t aware that you were depressed.

Review of 'This Woven Kingdom'
New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology. To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight. The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author Tahereh Mafi. “In a tale as exquisitely crafted as one of Alizeh’s own garments, Mafi weaves a spell of destiny and danger, forbidden love and courtly intrigue, magic and revolution.”—Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Hours “This Woven Kingdom is an exquisite fantasy. Rich with clever prose, delicious twists, and breathtaking world building. Prepare to be destroyed—this one will wrench at your heart and make it pound, and in the end it will leave you entirely speechless.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

ALIEN: The Best Adapted Roleplaying Game.
I was in highschool when I first played Leading Edge Games' Aliens: The Roleplaying Game. With literally nothing to compare it to in my then naive experience... it was awesome. A hexpaper plodding adventure using an all too complex Phoenix Command system. Breakout all the dice you've got. It was gonna be a long night. A ruleset that I could replay the 1986 sci-fi action film, ALIENS over and over again with my friends. It would quickly lose its luster as broader and easier game systems entered our lives. Leaving the Alien franchise as an indelible bookmark of my childhood, but a bookmark nonetheless. A bookmark nearly in danger of being forgotten.
