Myth or Monster Monday: The Romanian Creation Myth
Hello, lovelies,
It's time for another installment of Myth or Monster Monday!
One of the most popular myths to come from Romania is, of course ,that of Vlad the Impaler or Dracula, but that tale is one of hundreds to come from the region. Romanian mythology is full of fascinating tales of good overcoming evil, and vice versa. This focus on good and evil begins with the Romanian creation myth, which pits God against the Devil.
Oddly enough though, it isn't God who ha...

A Long Overdue Update on Hubby
Many of you have asked for an update on my husband, and I apologize for not having provided anything more extensive than brief updates to Facebook. The world doesn't stop when someone gets sick, and we've been overwhelmed trying to keep up with the day-to-day things while caring for him and trying to find a new normal in our lives.
It's been an especially tough year for our family. Last winter, my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. The chemo hit her so hard, she almost died. Her doctor did...

Teaser Tuesday 2: Ravish - The Teplo Files
Happy Tuesday, lovelies!
I've come to deliver your weekly teaser. I've spent a lot of time rewriting Ravish (Book 1 of the Teplo Files) over the last couple of weeks, so I hope you don't mind another teaser from this particular story. :)
Enjoy!
Strobe lights flashed across the room, briefly striking the mass of smiling faces crammed onto the dance floor. The dancers swayed and jumped to the loud, electronic beat vibrating the floor beneath Tristan Riley's boots, oblivious to everyone...

Myth or Monster Monday: The White River Monster
Hello, loves!
I've forgotten what a full night's sleep feels like. When my alarm went off this morning, I'd already been up four different times. Call me obsessive, but ever since SS got sick, I feel the overwhelming need to check on him every few hours just to make sure he's okay. He usually sleeps through my nightly checks, for which I'm infinitely grateful. I hate waking him up. No sense in both of us being cranky come morning.
Which I inevitably am. I hate mornings with a burning passion. I...

Spotlight: #EVADE by @JessaRusso #evertrilogy
Hello lovelies!
You guys probably remember how much I loved EVER by Jessa Russo. Today, I am very happy to shine the spotlight on EVADE, the newly released second book in the Ever Trilogy.
In this thrilling sequel, Ever Van Ruysdael's race to beat the odds—and the clock—begins with the introduction of an integral part of her past. As secrets are revealed, and truths uncovered, she learns her imminent death is the least of her problems: Ariadne did more than just put an expiration date on...

Teaser Tuesday: The Teplo Files
Hi lovelies!
Welcome to another installment of Teaser Tuesday! This teaser is from Ravish, or Revelations... I haven't quite decided on the official title yet. Either way, this story is a lot spicier than the Ragnarok Prophesies. It's a risque crime thriller, and it's probably one of my all-time favorite stories simply because so much went into writing it. I slaved over the research into Mexican cartels, and did a lot of arguing with everyone under the sun to keep it as rea...
