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…
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,…
Avenging Angel on an Iron Ride
Holy. Wow. Say It's Forever by AL Jackson is FIRE. I'm not talking about the sexy bits. The heat factor is set at about medium. No, I'm talking about stabby black f*ckin' magic meets avenging angel on an iron horse. These 2. Up until Say It's Forever, my main man, my number 1 book boyfriend…
I do… Sort Of
I adore a good military romance. Guys in uniform just do something for me. I think it's their innate protectiveness mixed with a need to be balanced out. They need to care for someone as much as they need to be taken care of. Who could ask for a better partner? The book I'm reading…
She’s so toxic
You've seen it a million times in Amazon book blurbs. "Strong female character." "The FMC is so strong." Blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong, I love a good, strong FMC. The problem is, sometimes when an author says the FMC is strong, they mean toxic. If you Google how you can tell if a…
The romantic failure of Nancy Makarova the corporate lawyer
(me - not my real name lol) Why do I write romance when I no longer believe I'll ever find it for myself? When a little girl dreams of the future, it could be anything from being a princess to an astronaut. But none dream of being multiple times and yet being single at *ahem*…
Book Boyfriends, Oh My
Admit it. If you read romance, you've pictured your ideal book boyfriend (or girlfriend). I've said before, my number one book boyfriend is Claire Kingsley's Asher Bailey. He's held the throne for quite a while, and I don't see myself ever cheating on him. BUT... If I ever did, who would it be with? It's…
I kinda hate Kate
I kinda hate Kate Stewart. I really don't, but dammit Kate. What have you done to me? You had me picturing one ending, one happily ever after, a love that every girl dreams of, then you gleefully took it and shredded it. You completely obliterated it. Why, oh why? Before you read Kate Stewart's The…
Shattered
Today, I'm going to do something a little different. I will give you a teaser for my novella, Shattered, in the hopes you will want to continue reading it. The background of this story is very (very) loosely based on my own life. It was the hardest part of my life, and while I have…
