Cover Reveal: The Charge by @sharonbayliss
Hello, loves!
Today, I have the great pleasure of helping reveal the cover for The Charge by Sharon Bayliss! Sharon is phenomenal, and I'm so excited for her.
What if Texas never joined the United States, and instead became it's own nation?
In The Charge, that's exactly what happened. In the 1830s, the Republic of Texas was taken over by a dictator with superhuman powers who named himself the first King of Texas. Eighty years later, the Texas Empire has fallen into ruin, but the story of the Te...

Goodbye 2012: My Year in Review
Hello, everyone.
We're currently without power here in a very cold Little Rock. Ten inches of cold, fluffy white stuff caused a transformer in our backyard to crash and burn Christmas night. The wonderful electric company says it may be a week before they get power restored to us. Eek! Luckily, work still has power and SS was able to get me here safely to relieve my coworker so she could sleep a few hours.
Being snowed in without electrictiy has given me a lot of time to...

Paradise Earth: Day Zero - Interview with @armathenia #newrelease
Hello everyone!
We have a very special guest with us today. The amazing Anthony Mathenia has braved the fireballs ripping through the sky outside to answer a few questions about his new release, Paradise Earth: Day Zero. I'd like to apologize to Anthony for not getting this posted earlier in the day. I was busy cowering under the bed in my aluminum foil hat with a broom in hand, waiting for E.T. to come and take me away. Okay, not really, but that's so much more fun. Anthony, ou...

The Tragedy of Failure. #SandyHook
I've never strayed from the tough subjects, whether on the blog or in my writing, simply because they are tough or hard to swallow. This post is no exception to that rule. Proceed with caution.
The tragedy at Sandy Hookhas weighed heavily on my mind since I first heard the news on Friday. I cried when I heard what happened on Friday, and I haven't stopped crying yet. Every time someone brings it up, tears well in my eyes. My heart is broken for the families who have lost their children, f...

Teaser Tuesday: Stricken (The War Scrolls: Book One)
Hello, loves!
I hope December is going fabulously for all of you. There are a lot of exciting changes occurring in my life right now... some of which I hope to share with all of you in the coming days. For now, I hope you'll be content with a teaser. It is from Stricken. And naturally, it hasn't been edited.
One corner of the photograph was blackened. Was this all that remained of her past then? One charred photograph and painful memories?
Sympathy for her welled again.
"Satisfied?" Anya demand...

Giving Back on a Budget: Ten Quick, No-Cost Ways to Do Good.
One of my favorite things about this time of year is witnessing friends and family embrace the spirit of giving. There's nothing more satisfying than doing a good deed for another. And, for many, the small things we do to give back to others will make all the difference in the world. But the sad reality is that, no matter how good our intentions, it can be so difficult to find the time or money to get involved, especially at this time of year. But being strapped for cash and time doesn't...
