I'm Over at the Alley!

Hey friends!
First off, let me give you an official welcome to the new blog!  Tis' now an author blog as you can see!!! Squee!  Not much of my blogs content will change right away.  The title and look has just changed for now and I will still do a few reviews here and there, but soon those will be discontinuing and I will be recommending books instead, which is why I have titled the review tab "20-Something Reads" :D  More on that and more changes later though friends!  ...

You can create entire wardrobes for your characters and not only that, but storyboards, too!!!! As in scenes in your book if you...

Review: I Loved You First by Reena Jacobs

My best friend was more than just a best friend to me. Three words summed it up: I heart him. I’d never tell him though. I wasn’t stupid. Besides, what he’d told no one, but me, was a little something I wished I could forget… or ignore. He was gay. I guess gay wouldn’t be bad if I wasn’t so in love with him. Now it was just cruel.
