#A to Z Blogging: A Start!

So it begins!

Today it's no April Fool's Joke but the first of a full month (I hope!) of Blogging from A to Z 

Stop by for daily and some combined posts (except Sundays) throughout the month. I'll try to have some surprises, maybe even some prizes and some guest authors, too! 

I'll include the links ahead of time here in case you miss one. Links go live the day of the post. (If you're

A Month of Blogging A to Z Coming in April!

For those who've stuck with me as I slowed down on blogging, I'll have a full month (except Sundays) of blogs, author guests, book suggestions, reviews and more coming up next month for the annual A to Z Blog Challenge! There may be some giveaways and prizes too so be sure to follow along!

I did this for a couple years and totally forgot last year, so glad to be joining in again!

New Reads for 2020 #mystery #zombie #horror #apocalypse

I was thinking of not doing any more book listings but... I can't resist. I love coming across new and upcoming books to read - despite the ever-growing to-be-read pile - and there are quite a few cool new releases coming out. So I hope you find something intriguing to read, as well.

New #Zombie #Fiction Coming!

A great way to start the new year!

Got word that two of my latest "drabbles" - 100 word stories - have been accepted!

Happy 2020 to everyone!

Yes, I've been remiss in posting here. Taking a small break, I slowed down a bit on blog and other writing, but not totally. 

I'm taking on a new focus this year, trying to finish the mystery I started, which actually is going well. 

BUT... no I haven't totally given up on horror. I can't, it seems. I was slowing off
