The Keep – Preview
THE KEEP – Chapter 1 Like a shiver, restlessness moves under my skin. It’s time to run again. Running. For the last six weeks that’s been my reality. The lack of permanence becoming permanent, a part of my life—as much a part as my abilities. Leaning over the bridge’s marble siding, I look down the length of the canal. My eyes track across the sweeping brick buildings, the arched bridges, the gliding gondolas, the enamored tourists to the waters beyond Venice. To home. I can go back. I can let them take my memories, my...
read moreTuesday Review – Rumpelstiltskin
I once warned that I was a huge fan of K.M. Shea (an indie author who releases a book about every three months) and would be reviewing a lot of her books. Well, I realized I lied because I have only reviewed one! Obviously, today I’m going to review another and make myself an honest person. This one is my absolute favorite and I have read and reread it to try to figure out why. I might have to read it one more time before I know for sure, but I’ll let you know what I’ve figured out so far about the greatness that is...
read moreA Window Read
I had this crazy dream a couple of weeks ago. I was at what looked like an art studio waiting in line to sign-up for something. Eventually, I realize I’m considering signing up to be part of this author group. I would pay and they would help me connect with other authors and improve my writing. I received a book bag full of books for signing up and my book was one of the books (yeah, free publicity!). But it had the wrong cover on it. All I really remember was that is was red and had my book name and author name where another author...
read moreReview Tuesday – First Light
I thought I had reviewed this here, but I guess I just posted a quick bit on Goodreads. To make it official and all that jazz, here’s my review on First Light by Michele Paige Holmes. First of all, isn’t that cover beautiful? The best part is it really does give you a great impression of the book. And a correct impression. This book was a beautiful fairy tale with more depth and intrigue than usual and, best of all, a non-love-at-first-sight relationship. This was really a fairy-tale mash up with touches of Sleeping Beauty...
read moreThe Keep – Pre-order Available Now!
I know November 12th seems like a long, long way off, but it is only six short weeks away! Yes, you heard me right, only six weeks until the release of The Keep!! Of course, I will be reminding you of this frequently (very frequently), but if you are concerned you might forget, there is the pre-order option! Now, Amazon only allows me to make the Kindle version available for pre-order (don’t ask me why, I do not know and am not making the rules here). Kindle pre-order is pretty awesome though because it automatically downloads to...
read moreReview Tuesday – King of the Friend Zone
I was pushed to this book by all my Goodreads friends. They were all reviewing it with such glowing terms, I just had to give it a try. When I downloaded it, I realized I had read Sheralyn Pratt before and I’m glad I found another of her books, King of the Friend Zone. For some reason, after reading the summary of this book, I was thinking that Esme was going to postpone the wedding and try to date Hunter and see if that worked. Well, I’m glad to say I was very off. Esme tries really hard to make her current relationship...

read moreReview Tuesday – The Kiss of Deception
I have really been slacking on these reviews…..rest assured it’s because I’ve been doing a lot of book writing. It just doesn’t leave much time for book reading. Ah, who am I kidding? There is always time for reading. But book reviewing…well, not so much. I have been focusing my reading on YA books that are often recommended to me. Today’s review is The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson. I heard so much about this book. So very, very much. Most of it revolved around this amazing plot twist. I went into...
read moreReview Tuesday – The Fall of Lord Drayson
I wanted to read and review this book for two reasons: first, I have read and enjoyed other books from this author and second, I’ve had my book given away as a free copy in exchange for a review and wanted to see how it worked on the flip side. All in all, I have to say The Fall of Lord Drayson by Racheal Anderson was one of the best choices I’ve made in awhile and I’m really, really glad I asked to review it. The premise of the book was a little different than most regency books, not because our hero had amnesia (a...
read moreReview Tuesday – A School for Unusual Girls
This book caught my eye right away. It is YA Regency era, which I love, and I’ve read some of the author’s other works and enjoyed them. but even with my high expectations, I loved A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin. This novel is about a girl, Georgian Fitzwilliam. It takes place at about the time Napoleon is exiled on Elba and tells the story of Georgian being sent to a finishing school. But this finishing school isn’t like any other and as Georgie gets more and more involved in the school and comes to...
