Hi Everyone!

Wanted to give a quick update for my writing schedule for the next few months. I'm currently working on Grey and Irelyn's story, A Matter Of Justice.

The times we are living in do seem to give support to those who say that doomsday is approaching. Historically, however, this has all happened before. Prophets of doom are nothing new.

Came across this Atlantic article about the Brontes, which is worth reading. It argues that - contrary to Woolf's ideas about needing $ and a room of one's own - the sisters' struggles to make a living gave them their best material, along with incentive to write.

One virgin. Two dominant shifters. One last chance to claim their destiny.

Xander, alpha of the Royal Winchester pack, has chased his true mate through the centuries. And screwed things up with her each time their paths have crossed. She's always been too soft, too innocent, too perfect....

Als je een boekenblog hebt, kan het prima zijn dat je daar ruimschoots tevreden mee bent: het recenseren en schrijven van artikelen kost je al genoeg tijd en energie en je vindt dat je blog sterk genoeg is als standalone, om het zo maar te zeggen.

In my 35 years as a marriage counselor, I’ve drawn one conclusion: Everyone wishes their spouse would change. “We could have a good marriage if he would just help me around the house.” Or, “Our marriage would be great if we could have sex more than once a month.” She wants him to change and he wa...

I’ve been decorating for fall since before my phone flipped.

All that fall.

All that free.
