  • Friday Funday.

    So, it’s Friday, I have the day off, my paychecks and bills aligned in such a way that I actually have a little spending cash to go shopping and buy some nice things for the apartment, I got my first official Amazon review for Soulless (thanks, Lauralynn!), so I want to do something a little…

  • I am very, very, very pleased to be helping out and joining the cover reveal party for Elaine Jeremiah‘s new release, Reunion of the Heart, a romance to be released by the end of August (keep your eyes peeled for the official date!). I think the cover is so stinkin’ cute that it’s gotten me,…

  • “Marcel woke the next morning in a forest shrouded in the silver robes of a fine mist. Others might have said it was beautiful the way the wisps of fog clung to the trees. Their eyes might have picked out the moss and lichen that spotted the beech trees so delicately and the thick mats…

  • This is probably something I shouldn’t be saying ever, much less a month and a half before it’s released, but The Slayer Saga: Soulless is not a great book, not by a long shot. Nor will it be. It would take years of editing and revamping and revisions before it even gets close to greatness,…

  • #BookADay Post II.

    Well, here we are, for another installment of my somewhat disjointed #BookADay journey through June! Today’s six entries still don’t catch me up, but, by the next post, I should definitely be there, if not a little closer. I’m unable to do this every day, so it’s more #BookEveryFewDays for me. Whatever. It’s a chance…

  • Review: Naked.
