I've been working with patients who have acne for close to ten years now in my naturopathic medical practice, and if I could boil down my recommendations to one important piece of advice, it would be:
Stop looking at that pimple.
Not later, not tomorrow, but now. Yes, you can keep using your skin... Read more of this blog post »

BULLIED
Oh-my-gosh. I knew this day would come. The day that I would be walking home on my own and you would know, the day that you would hurt me, perhaps even kill me.

Hi everyone,
Cooper's Confidantes is the name of my face book fan page so I thought I'd just keep that theme going.
I would greatly appreciate any constructive feedback you might have on Decree Absolute for me as I re edit Book Two. It's a stand alone novel.
Thank you for checking in.
Regards,

Sometimes an author writes a book and it's a struggle. Every single day is a nose to the grindstone kind of day.
Explosive Arsenal (Sep 24th, 2018) was not that sort of book. It flew out of my mind faster than I could write it. I loved almost every minute of it.

Evermore by Sara HollandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thanks to the publisher for this review copy, this doesn't influence my opinion of it.
