GUEST POST: LEAVES OF FALL by Patricia Lynne

The prolific and talented Patricia Lynne has another book out this week (LEAVES OF FALL, check it out here), so of course I have to tell you about it. To help with that, Patricia is also going to school you about trees in general, which is pretty awesome. I love random, odd trivia, so let's get right to this... Five Incredible Fact about Trees It's only apt that since trees are a major

BIG RED Author Damien Larkin Interview!

Big Red by Damien Larkin was officially released yesterday from Dancing Lemur Press. I had the opportunity to read an advance copy a few months ago and I thought it was AWESOME - you can check out my review here. To celebrate the release of Big Red, I asked Damien to come by to answer a few questions. I hope you'll stick around  to check out his answers... # There’s A LOT going on in Big

What Am I Doing? (#IWSG May 2019)

In a moment I'm going to get into a bunch of great writing-related stuff that's going on, and I think it's important to share that and be proud of my successes. First, though, I just wanted to share some insecurities and some doubts I've had lately due to alot of outside forces. Any writing successes have been very much despite everything else going on in my life, certainly not because of it.

STRANGELY FUNNY VI Release!

Hey look, a new book! While everyone had their eyes set on Masquerade: Oddly Suited, the OTHER anthology featuring my work this month, STRANGELY FUNNY VI, crept up and jumped us out of nowhere, just like a good boogeyman is supposed to do.

Pencils Down! (#IWSG April 2019)

I am currently smack-dab in the middle of the busiest time of year at my day job, so I will keep this brief. Usually, during March/April, I moan and beat myself up for not getting any writing done. I often work through lunch breaks, have to take work home with me, and if I'm not working I'm usually exhausted, so there's not much hope of getting any words in. This year I decided up front in

FOREST OF GHOSTS by J.H. Moncrieff REVIEW

Take a hike through the most haunted forest in the world… I haven’t read the previous installments in the GhostWriters series, however I loved Moncrieff’s book “The Bear Who Wouldn’t Leave,” so when offered an advance proof of “Forest of Ghosts” in exchange for an honest review, I happily jumped at the chance. Forest of Ghosts is a fast, creepy tour through the darker side of modern

I MADE A LIST! (#IWSG March 2019)

I've been having trouble focusing largely. I just have so many projects I want to work on, and no where near enough time to write them all. I made a list for myself to try and keep track of exactly what I was working on, and to try and prioritize some of it. In just the last week or so, I've worked on, thought about, or should have worked on: six blog posts/interviews/reviews edits for one

February '19 Audiobook Reviews

Here we go again! I've been tearing through audiobooks so far this year, let's see if I can keep it up. I started last year hard and fast too, and burned out quickly, but here's hoping I can top my record for books read/listened to in 2019. Heir to the Empire - 20th Anniversary Edition by Timothy Zahn (read by Marc Thompson) I think I've talked before about how important "Heir to the Empire"
