Today's book is the debut contemporary fiction novel, Wreckage by Emily Bleeker. This book isn't one I would usually read, but it kept popping up on my Kindle and other places on the web, so I decided to give it a try. I'm still not sure if I'm glad I did. This...

Books after Desiree
What is coming after the Converter series? That’s a question I would like answered. I have lots of ideas, but haven’t quite decided which direction to go. That’s where you, my friends, come in! I’m going to give you a short blurb about each of my ideas and then...
Review Tuesday – Robin: Lady of Legend
Historical fiction is the genre of the day! With very little deliberation, I've decided to review Robin: Lady of Legend by R.M. ArceJaeger. In this retelling of Robin Hood, Robin is a girl. All the usual characters are here, Mariam, Will Scarlet,...
A Smattering of Inspiration
A very long while ago, I promised to write about the authors who influenced my writing. I'm an absolute believer that the best writers are readers. I LOVE to read and this is probably an understatement (seriously, my Kindle is my best friend). Here are the author's...
Review Tuesday – Clandestine (House of Oak Book 3)
Oh, man. You guys are lucky I am writing this one for you. What I would really like to do is go and read this book again. Seriously. I liked Clandestine by Nichole Van that much. Yes, this is book three in a series. Should you read books one and...
Writing Time
The question I get asked the most (after the basic what is your book about, when is the next one coming out, and why did you decide to write) is how long it takes to write a book. I'm finding this isn't something that varies only from author to author, but from...
Review Tuesday – Princess Ahira
I'm trying to do some genre jumping with my reviews, so today we're going fantasy. K.M. Shea is kind of my idol of indie-authorship. She releases a book (get this) every 3 months! Yes, every 3 months. They are a little shorter at about 200 pages each, but still...
The Keep Playlist
Everyone who has read The Convergence wants to know what happens next! It's really, really hard for me to not give it all away. Instead, I'll give you a vague, little idea of what's coming with my playlist from book two, The Keep. These are the songs that...
Review Tuesday-If We Were A Movie
I don't read a lot of contemporary Young Adult, but occasionally I'll get in the mood for some good modern day angst. Awhile ago, I stumbled across Kelly Oram. I've really liked some of her books and some....well, I haven't liked so much. When I found If We Were a...
Reminders and a Review
Book two demanded a lot of my attention last week, but today I’m focusing on you, my friends! I have some reminders, news, and a review for you! The first reminder is for my Goodreads giveaway. Here’s the link for that: The Convergence Goodreads Giveaway Right now, a...
The Convergence Official Release
The Convergence There is almost as much relief as excitement in releasing your first book. Mostly, I'm glad I was able to get it finished, published, and in your hands. A lot of people sacrificed and pushed me to get me to this point. But,...
Incentives
Only five days left until The Convergence will be available on Amazon (Kindle and paperback versions)! On release day, I'll post the link for you all. Right now, we're working to get all the bugs out and website updates done. Once the book is out, I'll only be posting...
Cover Reveal!
I know I released this cover on facebook last week, but I realized I need an official cover reveal on my website! I didn’t realize until we were already in the middle that I asked for very difficult cover design. But once we (my awesome web/book designer and I) had...
The Convergence Preview!!
Chapter 1 Bonfires don’t agree with me. Tonight’s had potential, but already I’m suffering—crammed in a truck cab next to Blake Thomas. His nearness sparks my nerves. He reeks of arrogance and something else altogether too pleasant. The truck takes a corner on two...
The Wait
I know, I know! I did let slip some time ago that my book would be released mid-November and now we are past mid and heading toward the end. Update: we are working hard to get it released asap. I promise! I am not trying to build anticipation, in fact I'm dying of it!...
