It's a sad but happy goodbye to the other authors on this blog and to the readers. I've been a Genreista since Sarah and Judith started the blog.

Despite the Odds Writers Write!

My interview with the author  formerly known as Karen Kendall. https://www.kdalden.com/ I had the pleasure of interviewing good friend and talented author  Karen Moser who has written under numerous pseudonyms.

Sci-fi Romance with Elsa Jade

I'm excited to introduce you to an author who is a friend of mine. Years ago, she graciously let me spend the night in her house while I attended an RWA event in Portland. Elsa Jade grew up reading SFF, buying the biggest books shecould with her chore money. While she loved the action, adventure, and excitingworlds of classic SFF, most of those stories were missing…kissing! Now she reads

Food: Bamboo, Bats & Innards? - Blast from the Past by Diana McCollum

My “Go-To” Authors by Lynn Lovegreen

 I have several authors I go to when I need to relax or escape from my usual world. (I read eclectically, and life is too short for only one!) As a retired English teacher and history buff, I enjoy reading classics. But you can find other posts that extoll the virtues of Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and Mark Twain.

Comfort Comes In Many Forms

 When I saw this month’s topic was “favorite comfort reads” all I felt was distress. My world is nothing but stress right now.
