So for the first time--I think--in my entire tenure as a NetGalley reviewer, I actually have a feedback ratio above 80%. Woo! (This is where they recommend your ratio to be.) It's not come without some effort, and it should get higher as I continue to review some of the books I have. But oh … Continue reading Don’t Tell Me You Don’t Have Time

I love fiction prompts. I don't work with them nearly enough, but some of my favorite things have come out of prompts I had in workshops. And since I've been struggling to figure out what to share here on Fridays, I figured hey! I've got some books with prompts in them. Why not pick some … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Prompt – Invasion
Continuing on in my quest for books that I lost track of during my early days on NetGalley, we come to one of the few books on the list I remember requesting--and being very irritated when I'd found I'd run out of time for it. That was about all I remembered about it. Reading the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE WORD EXCHANGE by Alena Graedon
I always seem to run into the same problem right about now. I’ve essentially recovered from the chaos and madness of November, had all of the holidays to rest, and now I’m ready to get back on track--not only with stuff like my eating, but also my writing. I want to have a new project, … Continue reading What’s Next?
So I'm still in flashback mode for now, but since it's Friday the 13th, I had to share this particular piece with you. I'm not one to write a lot of horror, though I'd love to try some day, and this is likely the closest I've gotten. But I still like this, and I wish … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Next Door Neighbor
I received a free ARC of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for my honest review. I wasn't quite sure what to make of this book when I first saw it. The cover is very dramatic, all swooping colors and ALL CAPS TITLES, and an indication that this was a contest winning book, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: TERMINAL REGRESSION by Mallory Hill
Remember how I talked about the Editor, and all his nasty tricks we were keeping locked away in November? And then in December, we might let him out, but we were letting that project rest at least for a little while? It's January now. And the editing beast, snarling and slathering, is ready to drip … Continue reading The Beast, Dripping in Red
So since most of my writing lately is self-indulgent fanfic that would make little to no sense to anyone reading this blog, I figured I'd go find something I'd written before to share. I enjoyed going through and finding the old story with the soldier and the child, and figured I had to have something … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY:Look Into the Past
If one thing is evident about me and my literary affections (and there's a lot more than one thing, but let's just go with it here) it's that all you need to do is mention Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to get my attention. I am a huge fan of the story, of all its … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE JEKYLL REVELATION by Robert Masello
So I had an idea for this post today, and then realized that I'd already written about my goals for this year, some two weeks ago. ...Oops? So instead I'm going to talk about something similar and see what goes from there. Because one of the most prevalent things I've noticed in my little sphere … Continue reading Keeping Optimistic
