There is a strange tendency of mine to go onto the Kindle store and see what all is being offered for free on the store. I'm almost never impressed with anything that I find, but I keep hoping that something will change. That I'll find a diamond in the rough somewhere, and find a good … Continue reading Get What You Pay For

I've been toying with this idea for a little while, essentially since someone from my past had a whole faux conversation with me about how this might happen and why. I don't remember most (if really any) of our original conversation, and unlike most other correspondence with my friends, this actually happened aloud, so it's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Origin Story
Full disclosure: the author of this book and I are acquaintances through my graduate school. However, I bought my copy of this book of my own accord, and she has not asked me to review it any more than she has anyone else in the world. I haven't had the opportunity to read any of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE EIGHTH by Stephanie M. Wytovich
(Don't mind me and my geeky Broadway beginning. I can't help myself.) Maybe it's how long I watched anime and the like, maybe it's my own connection to theatre and voice acting...maybe it's just me. But I run into a problem with I'm writing, particularly when I start creating new characters. I start hearing voices. … Continue reading I Hear You, Johanna…
I received a free ARC of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. Steven Manchester is a familiar name to me as a Story Plant reader; I read his book THE CHANGING SEASON almost exactly a year ago now, and reviewed it here on the blog. I remember enjoying the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ASHES by Steven Manchester
As a writer, Valentine's Day can be great fun. I have so many interesting characters who can do all manner of fun and interesting things for the holiday--or, in the case of Karantiri, I can make up an equivalent holiday that they can then celebrate. (Or more than one--one for the humans and one for … Continue reading Valentine’s Day (Because Why Not)
So I'm a little early for Valentine's day, but the post you'll read on Monday got me inspired, so here's a little FF treat for you. It's the same characters as from the romance chapter from last Friday, just at a different point in their lives. I'm a sucker for an HEA, so I doubt … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Even Broken Hearts
I was provided a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I knew from the moment I saw the description of this book that I was going to want to read it. Having seen the cover, read the description...when it showed up in a NetGalley email to me, I … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: GILDED CAGE by Vic James
I saw a sentiment on Twitter the other day, talking about a friend of mine. We have very different stories, but at our core there's a lot we share in common. But the sentiment (from a friend of theirs) was this: "She always looked so desperate and sad. Now they look happier." This was in … Continue reading Mirror Into the Past
