How many of you have kept up with your 2022 Goodreads Reading Challenge? At the beginning of the year (before I had a newborn) I aimed for the lofty goal of 80 books. Yep! You read that right, folks. Needless to say, I cut that number in half recently. Because while I started out strong,... Continue Reading →
Have you seen the cover of Dangerous Beauty??? I am so in love with the contrast and colors and the haunting imagery. Ladies and gentlefolk, if you want a blueprint for cover design done right, look no further... (pause for applause) Okay, but seriously, I knew, especially after reading the premise, that this I not only wanted... Continue Reading →
This is normally the place where I'd say "welcome back friend!" but today I'm the one returning to blogging and social media in general. A month ago I had my baby girl and entered a world of sleepless nights which bled into endless days. I had honestly somehow forgotten how much work a newborn is!... Continue Reading →
And we're back with another tour with Lone Star Lit! It's been a while since I've been able to take part in a tour for my fellow Texas authors, so I'm excited to share today's read and review with you. Part of the hiccup came from complications in this final trimester of my pregnancy. I'm... Continue Reading →
Happy March, everyone! I hope you're all doing well and continuing to stay healthy and safe. This past month has been so full of ups and downs, both close to home and far away. I spent much of the first part of this year looking after my little guy (and myself) as we traded illnesses.... Continue Reading →
How many of you have already signed up for the Goodreads 2022 Reading Challenge? It's been a while since I really devoted my brain to reading actual books and not binging the occasional novel alongside too much fanfiction. So for the new year, and with a new mindset, I wanted to challenge myself. For 2022,... Continue Reading →
It's always a treat to read and review for a known author and series. I first read Marlene M. Bell's Stolen Identity shortly before it's release and fell in love with the characters, the history, and the adventure. While I was often on the fence about the sequel Spent Identity, I felt her latest in the... Continue Reading →
Welcome back to another review with Lone Star Lit! The folks who love to highlight my fellow Texas authors and/or Texas-based stories. I've had a blast discovering new authors and books the past two years that I wouldn't have likely read, otherwise. As an author, and avid reader, I'm always looking to expand my literary...

Happy Thursday, friends! Despite this past crazy year and half, I can honestly say one of my greatest enduring comforts has been books. No matter how chaotic, or awful, or overwhelming life can feel at times, I have found escape in the worlds and characters my fellow authors create. One of the reasons I decided to...

Reading Under the Bayou Moon was something of a revelation for me. Having grown up visiting relatives close to the Louisiana border, I often heard my family talk about Cajuns. I'm sorry to say most of what was said was unflattering, unkind, and not anything I would repeat here. Such things were so often said,... Continue Reading →
