Happy spring everyone! I’ve spent the winter months furiously writing my current novel, FIREBUG. I’m really pleased with the results and hope to be deep in queries for it by mid-summer.
In the meantime, I’ve fallen way behind on book reviews lately. Some of the books I’ll be discussing this month are:
Million Dollar Diva by Tristi Pinkston, Brett Kitchen, & Ethan KapRumplestiltskin by Jenni... Read more of this blog post »

From Book Brats!
The Village meets slavery meets a cult? Trust me, it sounds a LOT more interesting than it ends up being. As you might have guessed, I was rather interested in this book based on the plot alone. Yes, it has bad reviews on Amazon and... " Read more of this review » |

| The hypocrisy of the "peaceful" people in the end is what kicked this from a 3 to a 2 star book for me. Interesting premise, but the characters choices--choosing slavery over freedom, killing one good man & crying over a bad one.... I couldn't re...more | |

Wendy, Thanks! You're too sweet. I don't know. You're bio is pretty cool. Slaving away on the family truck looks pretty impressive to me. I'm terrible when it comes to those sort of things. :)
Nice to meet you too.
Steph.
Steph,Your bio had me rolling. I've decided mine is entirely too straight laced. Maybe after NaNo I'll think of something a little different. The kids were most impressed by your shadow hoola-hooping too. You are one talented gal!
Nice to meet you by the by.
Wendy
http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...Michele, You need to join On FIction Writing here on Goodreads. That is the link. THey are a funny/charming/sometimes crass but always good hearted group of people that love to write. I have learned mountains of good things there.
Michele wrote: "I'm still blown away by your writing! I'm very lucky you were in my critique group. After we finish the second draft of the story would you like to be a reader?"Absolutally. Seriously. Lots of other ly's. I loved the premise and I'd buy the book. Getting to read it early is icing on the cake. You have my email, I think.
Um, nope. Not unless I know them in real life. Makani is cool though, you can visit with her. ;)
