Book Tours: Guest Post Night Terror
I’m hosting a guest post today for the book tour for “Night Terror” by Jeff Gunhus. I hope you enjoy the guest post!
Why I read paperback books…and I think you should too
As a hybrid author with both traditional and self-published works, I have greatly benefitted from the rise of e-books. It’s hard to think back to the world before Kindle and Nooks and IPads.

Book Tours: Guest Post for One Wish
I’m hosting a guest post today for the book tour for my dear friend, February Grace. She’s the author of the “One Wish” collection.
Music and Magic
I have always been a musical person. Thought my brain is incapable of translating little black dots into sound (much to the frustration of teachers who tried to teach me to sight-read) I see colors when I hear music, and I have been able to play a bit of piano by ear (and sing) since I was a small child.
