It is my great pleasure to welcome Jo Ramsey to my blog and her newest novel, Blue Jeans and Sweatshirts, book four in the Deep Secrets and Hope Series!
Blue Jeans and Body Image
In my new novel Blue Jeans and Sweatshirts (Deep Secrets and Hope series book 4), main character Holly McCormack is struggling with her relationship with her girlfriend Chastaine. Not because the relationship isn’t going well, but because they’re hiding it… and because Chastaine, in Holly’s eyes, is thin and gorgeous....

Timmy's 5★ Review of When I Grow Up, Book 8 in the Foster High Series

This is a hard book to review. I have had this trouble with all of Mr. Goode’s books and the same problem with Cody Kennedy’s books. You see, I don’t write spoilers, but these guys don’t write books that have down time in them. They are constantly moving at rapid pace, so everything in the book is a spoiler. Sigh… Way to make my job harder, guys. Thanks.

There are many different ideas on what a reviewer is, and what their goals should be, so let me tell you mine. My goal in every review is to...

A Little Rant for Our Friends

I'm over at Love Bytes today with a special article about being allies for each other.
My good buddy, Timmy, talks about something very important: intolerance by people within the LGBTQIA community. Sadly, bigotry does happen and it isn’t only against people of the QUILTBAG persuasion. It happens against our allies. Heterosexism is just as much a sexual orientation and gender identity as any other letter of the alphabet soup and all are essential elements of our human identity.

This young adult book deals with some very heavy issues.

Cary is like a brother to Ellis and is having his own troubles trying to figure out his future. Ellis also has to deal with a troubled home life. His mother is an angry person and takes that anger out on him.

Then along comes Saul, the new kid. Ellis is instantly attracted to the wealthy new...

Timmy's Review of A Way Back to Then by Robert Halliwell

I really like John Goode’s writing, and I LOVE the Foster High books, so I was a equal parts worried and excited to read Mr. Halliwell’s new book. The fact that he was writing the book to finally explain my fave character in the Foster High series was thrilling! I have been waiting for Robbie’s story for over a year now. However, the fact that his story was being written by someone else had me worried. Mr. Goode set a high bar to meet as far as writing this series, and I am happy to say that...

Timmy's Review of As The World Falls Down by Jennifer Lee

Jennifer Lee is a debut author with this short story being her first published book. I have beta read another of her stories that hopefully will be out soon! (Hint Hint!!)

I loved this short! The story is based in a world where the “norm” is LGBTQ+ as opposed to heterosexual. Not a new concept, but this story has an interesting angle. A new way for people to see how hard it is to come out. The thing is, though EVERYONE should read this story, I think it’s really aimed toward heterosexual peop...
