I've never considered myself a feminist. I was raised in a conservative household, and never questioned women's traditional roles. As an adult, I still believes there's honor to be found in the domestic arts. But when I married, I kept my maiden name. I'm not a good cook, so my husband does most of our... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday, y'all! I'm bringing yet another fantastic book rec from the lovley folks at Lone Star Lit Tours, Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm. For the record, I absolutely love receiving books in the mail. As an author, I am fully aware of all that my fellow authors sacrifice to send physical copies to... Continue Reading →
Welcome back, everyone! It's been a few weeks since my last bookish post. LSBBT took a mini-break. I've also been scrambling to get my four-year-old ready for PreK (and battling mild freak-outs.)

I savored Rio Ruidoso, over the past month, while also dealing with some real life struggles. As I've been forced to regroup and double down in my work, I craved... Continue Reading →
Hey everyone! While I normally post book reviews on my book blog, SilverWoodSketches, I've decided to move over bookish posts here instead. All thanks to Google's recent cutbacks, and the fact I'm book blogging a lot less this year. Why? Because while last year I wanted to reconnect with the current Indie world and meet...

Howdy folks! So I've been working on a short story lately and though I would share a snippet or two with you as we go. I'm not sure what will come of this just yet, but for now it will simply be a short novella, and as you can guess by the title, a mermaid's... Continue Reading →
