Happy 2023, friends! I am alive! Reports of my untimely demise were greatly exaggerated. Although, a part of me has been put to rest ever since I had my baby girl last May. Okay, I swear I’m not being melodramatic (no more than usual). Let me explain.
Happy Holidays, friends! I hope everyone has enjoyed their time with family, and recharging as we gear up for 2023. In the grand scheme of things, I'm aware the new year is just another day.

Hello friends! I'm participating in a special pop-up blog feature with Lone Star Lit today, featuring Middle-Grade seaside fantasy novel, The Aquamarine Surfboard. As a fangirl of ocean-themed stories (yes, my childhood obsession with mermaids plays a part...) I was excited to dive into Kellye Abernathy's unique and mysterious world. I love stories that put a... 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...

Part of the hiccup came from complications in this final trimester of my pregnancy. I'm... 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...

As an author and project manager for a book design company, I can't help judging a book's cover. As Forrest Gump might say, "There's an awful lot you can tell about a book, by its cover." 😉 Some covers are designed to draw in the eye, with pops of metallic accents and bold colors. Others,...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you're holding together with me as the months turn hotter, and we continue to navigate the #newnormal.
