Hello, my name is Arlene Allen, and I love all things nerd: genre tv and movies, books, loud rock and roll music, kittens, conventions, books, graphic novels and superheroes, RPG and tabletop games, and did I say books? Oh, yes. I spent 25 years as a librarian (nerd) mainly working with youth (creating nerds), a number of years as a teacher (more nerd indoctrination). I have my own spawn, leveled up to 22 and my partner in nerdiness. As a nerdy writer, I have found a home at Talk Nerdy With Us.

Certainly he’s easy on the eyes, but it’s his warm, […]

If you are looking for an example of the perfect Victorian romance, you need go no further than Lisa Kleypas’ Hello Stranger. It has everything: a strong independent heroine, a rough but good hearted hero, a twisty plot, a setting that comes alive, and a heavy dose of wit and charm. Even though this book […]

Many of us at one point or another will consider our families dysfunctional; some of us in jest and some with deadly seriousness. I can almost bet, though, that there are few that can compare to actress Tina Alexis Allen’s family, as she reveals in her new memoir, Hiding Out: A Memoir of Drugs, Deception, […]
Fatal Chaos is the thirteenth book in the Fatal series by Marie Force. Despite never having read any other books in the series, I found it very easy to jump right in and enjoy the characters and the plot. Force does a great job of filling in any blanks as succinctly as possible. The novel […]
