It’s my party, I can cry if I want to.
Except I won’t. Because there’s no party. Yet.
No, scratch that. The party’s started way before today. It’s those little every day moments that made me laugh, smile, feelkiligin a number of different ways. When you put them all together, they make for a pretty fantastic party. (I’m really just saying this because I feel like I’m too old for an actual one and would rather spend my birthday here at home, writing something.)
So–first things first: I’ve drawn a winner for my birthday giveaway, an...

I don’t remember which month it was last year that Mina posted an announcement about a Children’s Lit writing workshop, I just remember wanting to be in it. So much, that I was already playing with a concept in my head even before I officially signed up.
Maybe it’s because this was going to be my third MVE-facilitated workshop that I’ve...

{ Book Review } Loveless. Childless. Clueless. | Miren B. Flores
Standing amidst the wreckage of a fifteen-year relationship, Anna finds herself single, unmarried, childless and, at the rickety age of thirty-five, trying desperately to pick up the pieces.
There’s a lot of crying and punching, a trip or two, and a list of things to do and be to get her self back. There’s the heady scent of a (possible) spankin’ new man sparring with the memory of the boy who first captured her heart—and may have stomped all over it.
But what would she know? After all, here...

{ Book Review } Majesty | Jay E. Tria
What would you do if the ghost of someone you love appeared in front of you?
Majesty is a beautiful ghost, with her hair of fire and eyes gray like smoke. That is Andy Fey’s first thought when the ghost of her best friend Majesty Hall appeared in her bedroom, only two months since her death. Majesty doesn’t know why she’s there, why only Andy can see her.
