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 →
Book Review: The Mischief Series by Amanda M. Thrasher
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.

Book Review: Scattered Legacy by Marlene M. Bell
It's always a treat to read and review for a known author and series. I first read Marlene M.

Book Review: Coded for Murder by Dianne Smithwick-Braden
I wasn't sure how I felt about Coded for Murder until midway through. Some books are like that, drawing you closer and closer until releasing snippets of brilliance.
Book Review: Rio Ruidoso by Preston Lewis
Sometimes a good book carries you right where you didn't know you should be going. It's ironic, the journeys we can take alongside our characters. 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 →
