I was provided an ARC of this book free of charge by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I'm always fascinated by books that include real-life history and stories in them. The "Dear America" diaries were some of my favorites growing up, and it's always been one of my favorite ways to learn history. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BEFORE WE WERE YOURS by Lisa Wingate
Month: May 2017
As an indie author, I'm finding myself relying back on some of the earliest pleas I had as a writer: "Please leave a review if you liked the story!" This shows up constantly in fanfiction, because much like in traditional fiction, reviews can make or break an author. Archive of Our Own, a more recent … Continue reading Lessons in What Not to Say
I have no idea how close to the word count I am. *checks* Okay I'm like 150 or so over. So sue me. 😉 I wasn't sure what to do with this one, but it ended up being some foreshadowing (and some future peeks of what's to come) in the Karantiri world. Idiom of the … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Peace and Quiet
I was provided a copy of this by the publisher in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to Story Plant for giving me this opportunity. I have a very tenuous relationship with women's fiction. This stretches into most contemporary fiction in general, but I've noticed it specifically with women's fiction the most. I don't … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: CROSSING THE STREET by Molly D. Campbell
So I know I've touched on submissions before, and how one gets ideas for them. It's easy to surf around and say "oh hey, here are nine thousand places looking for stories that sound interesting; LET'S GO!" but it's less easy to actually write them. Now here's my usual problem. Length. I'm sure some of … Continue reading The Trouble With Submissions
These two were short, so I've smooshed them together into one mega-microfic. (*cough*) It follows my dearly beloved Tarenthal of the Karantiri stories, very early in his time in the Kalvarine woods. As always, check out Thimbleful Thursday, and all of Lyn's projects. Tarenthal stepped out into the sunlight, eyes closed, letting the rays wash … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Turn Over a New Leaf/Hold Your Fire
I received a copy of this book free of charge from the author in exchange for my honest review. I like killers with calling cards. I like the concept of calling cards in general. (One of the video games I'm playing at present uses the concept, and it pleases me immensely.) So in reading the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE BLUEBELL INFORMANT by Nick R B Tingley
Being unemployed gives me a good chunk of time to look at myself and how I work, because in all technicality, it puts me in the situation I want to be in. Able to devote all my time to writing and other such endeavors, able to focus only on what I want to focus on, … Continue reading Learning About Myself
Hey, surprise! A review on a Saturday! This was slated for Wednesday's post, but when Laura asked me to help with the book cover reveal, I knew I couldn't pass it up. And for once, my month is pretty packed with books, so I needed to get this out before next Wednesday! Besides, I'm excited … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE PERFECT STRANGER by Megan Miranda
Another lovely Thimbleful Thursday prompt. I went over word count again, because I'm bad at flash fiction. >.> Only by like...120 though? That's better than usual? Anywho, this is in the world of RATHER LARGE PUDDLE, set post-book. I'd say there are spoilers, but I've been talking about this book for so long and it's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Nest Egg
