Tuesday…

Okay, so Monday didn’t end on a high for me.  After three five-star reviews for Concilium the bottom was bound to fall out eventually. My first bad review.  At least she didn’t give it a star rating.  Of course, she said there weren’t “negative” stars to rate it with…ouch!  I guess I shouldn’t let it get to me.  We all know this is part of the profession.  We won’t please everyone.  But, damn, does it sting.



But, today is another day, and two more stop...

Blog Stops…

I'm rolling along on my blog tour this morning.  Today I'm chatting with the wonderful people at Good choice reading: *HERE*



Then I'm hopping over to my fantabulous friend Gwen's [image error] blog and we're looking at some major eye candy...the men of Concilium.  Here's a small preview. What a way to start the week! *HER...

She is an instant coffee lover with an obsession for spiral bound notebooks and smooth writing pens. Jennifer lives with her husband and two children, who endure listening to songs that spur inspiration...

And if the blog tour kick-off wasn’t exciting enough, I got [image error] up and found Concilium has finally been added to Amazon! Although they don’t have the pricing information updated yet, that’ll be added soon.

So here we go, one more time.  I’m sharing the first sentences of the novel:

It was a lesson I was destined to learn. Whether one sees it or not, evil is always present. I look...
