[image error]Drawing the Line, Book 4 in the Cops and Docs Series will officially be released via Ylva Publishing Shop on November 7th. In the mean time, I’d like to offer a very limited number of ARCs or Advanced Review Copies in exchange for an honest review. That means good, bad and the ugly....

Every fall, I get an urge to read a good horror story. Preferably nothing gory, but rife with horrific oddities and chill-inducing moments. I’ll award bonus points if it’s got Lovecraftian intrigue and bizarre pseudo-history. And at the heart of it all, I want a good story.

狐狸精，是天下偉大的存在。

人類不可一日無此君，男人不用說，對於女人，狐狸精也是救世主。

最簡單的例子：男人一有了狐狸精，心中有愧，對家裏的老婆一定更好。

所有的八婆必然反對這個理論，但是照照鏡子，妳們和狐狸精最大的不同是——當狐狸精在喊：親愛的，我來了，我來了的時候，妳們瞪大了眼睛：喂，天花板的漆掉光了，快叫修理師傅來塗一塗。

聰明的女人，總會容忍老公在外面擁有的一兩隻狐狸精。男人卻是長不大的孩子，男人證明他們不老，這是唯一的辦法，他們終會像灰姑娘一樣十二點之前回家。

可愛的狐狸精，也絕對不會把男人由太太的懷裏搶走。整天對著同一個長不大的男人，那有多悶！

那麼那些搶別人老公的狐狸精呢？八婆問：她們...

Today’s question:

Having read Jordan’s Primeval Saints I find that he interprets the life of Jacob through a different lens from a more recent reformation reading. Specifically in the story of Jacob “stealing” the birthright, Jordan posits that Rebekah and Jacob are righteously deceiving Isaac in...

‘Is it strange that these poems, while often devastating, don’t fill me with sadness? Reading stories of illness, this is what it is to be (un)seen. The collection shows the duality of being cast out and cut free.’

I began doing reviews by request. To help indie authors get the word out there about their books. Recently, I’ve also started reviewing the books I read on my own accord – they’re few and far in between, but I manage to find room for them some how. And for ages now, I’ve wanted to review some of...

The lovely Hastings House Book of Hours, from this great I Love Typography post, which has other cool images as well. 

I never claimed to have a green thumb and Marc’s horticultural thumb is worse. Hence, we don’t have anything that needs water more than once. And once is the only time we watered a baby rose tree, barely a shrub, my mother-in-law had given us as a back in our house-warming gift in July. Sorry, An...

Marrying a stranger to save a ranch is one thing; losing the land on their wedding day is another.

Are you ready to head to Wyoming with me for ranching, bad guys, family squabbles, and true love? Perhaps you’re like me and have been wondering when I’d write another marriage of convenience–it’s...
