I'm sitting at my computer writing this hopped-up on caffeine and carbs. Not healthy, you say? I don't care. They're the only reason I'm awake, not in a fitful slumber of runaway recriminations and flashbacks. I tried to get some sleep last night, but as soon as I started to drift off my mind reminded…
Write Like This Or Else
I could have sworn I've written about this before, but I guess not. In the past, I have seen authors disrespect other authors. Sometimes it's trad pub authors talking smack about indies. But sometimes it's authors trying to tell others how and what to write. Which is a massive pet peeve. I recently saw a…
Sweep Me Off My Feet
As I was toodling around on Instagram, I came across a video I'd seen before. While it made me think the last time I saw it, it didn't give me the aha moment it did this time. This time, however, the lightbulb went off and I started thinking about book boyfriends, and specifically what it…
Is Good Really Good?
The battle between good and evil has been raging in one form or another for millennia. Or, if you believe the Bible, since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If you follow my blog, you'll know I'm a nerd for this stuff. I've talked about the War in Heaven in another blog (Dragons,…

Betrayed: A Review
Six years ago, Addison Williams died. What didn't die was her need to make up for her mistakes. Ever since that night, she has worked to correct the one mistake she regrets most. It is her success in doing so, however, that puts her life, and the lives of everyone she loves, at risk once…
Haze by Rebecca Crunden
Haze by Rebecca Crunden is a delicious and dark novel. I enjoyed reading it, and will likely reread it in the future. The story isn't a typical story, even for a dark novel. It was different, and I appreciated that. All too often we find books that are just recycled storylines with slight differences. Haze…
I’m Not That Fast!
If you're a book nerd or an author like me, you've seen them. Book reels. On Instagram, TikTok, or even Facebook. They're a great way to create interest in a book. With just a little playing around with different sources, websites, or apps, you can create a truly eye-catching book reel. I use Pixabay and…
Dress Codes and Double Standards
Apparently, I'm having an 'I'm technologically challenged' day today, so the pics I wanted aren't uploaded. Yet. I'll figure it out when my brain starts to function again. Stupid brain fog. So, the blog. I've seen this debate multiple times on both Instagram and Twitter, and frankly, I don't understand why this is even a…
Even Odds by Fiona Quinn
This review is another from my old blog page. I'm a day behind, so I'll repost this and spend my day playing catch-up. Enjoy! Seven years ago, Damian Prescott and Raine Meyers were planning on walking down the aisle. Until Raine walked away with no explanation. Fast forward to the present where Damian is DIA…
