I feel like I've written something to this extent before (though I can't find it on the blog, so who knows where it was--oh, quick check says it was last week's inspirational newsletter), but it's worth covering again, and I think this time I'll attack it from the other side. See, usually my argument is … Continue reading Write What You Know

Speaking of not launching into trilogies... This appears to be another trilogy that I was handed and intended to like without having read anything by the author before. Now, that being said: I have spent most of my life listening to the people around me tell me how wonderful Mercedes Lackey is. My best friend … Continue reading Book Review – The Black Gryphon
Here comes a significantly more personal post than standard, but I think it's a good topic to touch on, since writers can deal with this in books just as much as they can in person--and most people won't quite get this right unless they've lived it, I think. This is an interesting post for me … Continue reading Friends Never Say Goodbye
I try not to launch myself into trilogies on only the advice of friends. However, since I was handing off a trilogy to my good friend Cat to read, I could scarcely tell her no when asked to read one for her. Granted, I'm going to end up breaking the books up a bit (I … Continue reading Book Review – The Ill-Made Mute
I thought I'd give you all a break from the spam of last Thursday, and so I didn't post a new review on Tuesday. I'll be back to my usual routine for next week, however. ...With any luck at all. (Hah, got interrupted by a phone call and now I need to figure out my … Continue reading The Pit
Wow, sorry about ALL THE BLOG POSTS today - I would have spread out the reviews, but I copied the wrong link and then sent it in and theeeen had to post it today. SIGH. Planning is not my forte. IN ANY EVENT. Each week, I send out an inspirational email to anyone who'd like … Continue reading Making It a Habit
I got a chance through NetGalley to read the newest release of Janet Evanovich's, The Chase, in return for an honest review. I noted later that it wasn't strictly written by Evanovich, but co-authored by Lee Goldberg. I wasn't concerned. Several years ago, I had started reading Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels and had been quite … Continue reading Book Review – The Chase
Despite having heard of the book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I did not recognize Ann Brashares' name as the author when presented with the opportunity to review The Here and Now. I am an avid fan of Young Adult fiction, and the premise seemed interesting. I am a little wary of YA novels … Continue reading Book Review – The Here and Now
During my latest grad school residency, a few of my fellow authors and I decided to take a stroll through Pittsburgh's selection of used book stores. Not having any I'd frequented back home, I was intrigued by the concept—and of course, more than willing to look around for new books. Now, as many of my … Continue reading Book Review – Slaughterhouse Five
This is a hard blog post to write. In fact, this probably would have gone up on Tuesday if I hadn't already scheduled the review to go live (I do try to keep consistent) but then again...Tuesday was not a day when I was able to do much of anything. Here's what I'm trying to … Continue reading Struggling
