The keys on my keyboard clack as I type. Words appear on the screen, seemingly coming from nowhere. I don’t know where the words come from, but they want out. They want to be put on paper. I am at their mercy until the barista snags my attention. She clears her throat, breaking the trance.…
Left Hanging
I hate to be left hanging. I love a good series, especially paranormal romance. Give me a series with good characters and a good storyline, and I’m there. Leave me hanging, and I’ll curse you with something terrible. Before you get upset, I understand many like to read a series as each book comes out.…
Forgiving Selfish FMCs — Can We Not?
Before I start on my blog, I want to apologize for not posting for a while. My daughter and I moved to a new place a few months ago, and the weather hasn’t been kind. I suffer from chronic migraines and I’m sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes. So… Abnormally stormy weather equals many migraines. Anyone…
Let’s Talk Dialog
All authors have their opinions about the ‘rules’ of writing. Be concise or not, write stories this way, end them this way, blah blah blah. It should be no shock then that there are varied opinions about dialog tags. And shock of all shocks, I’ve got mine. (It’s not a shock to anyone who’s poked…
Interesting thoughts. Made me think about the juxtaposition of going and evil and how you either have to have both or neither.
What If – Trilogy by Nina Lane
The What If trilogy by Nina Lane gets it right. This is the story of Josie and Cole and their long, emotional journey to the love they both deserve. Cole is the town's bad boy. He's the one people whisper about. He's the one people assume is up to no good. He's the one no…
My Dark Romeo by Parker S Huntington & LJ Shen
I don't typically read Enemies to Lovers as these books usually end as DNFs. It should be no surprise that I despise toxic characters and Enemies to Lovers? Well, they're teeming with toxic people. No, thanks, I'll pass. Admittedly, the cover on this one got me. Holy hotness. The dark, brooding look on his face,…
Stronger Together
Growing up, I was an avid reader. I even ventured into writing poetry for a while. I sucked at it, but I enjoyed it. Fast forward more years than I'll ever admit, and I finally sat down to write and publish a book. I'm proud to say I'm the only person in my family to…
Grief in Romance
If you've read my blog before, you may be aware this time of year is hard for me. (If you haven't read my blogs, you may want to start here: About Me, My Months, Moving On VS Moving Forward, and My Months PTSD Edition). This year, on May 1st, will mark 9 years. 9 years…
Little Killer
Emersyn's hand snaked out from under her comforter, blindly groping for her alarm. She had a daytime job set up for today, and since she had finished a job last night, she'd had to set it. Working on virtually no sleep wasn't ideal, but for this, she'd make an exception. Over the last few years,…
