Stillhouse Lake Series by Rachel Caine #bookreview
Ciao, amici. Today’s review is actually a three-fer. I want to discuss the first three books in the Stillhouse Lake series by Rachel Caine. I’d discuss all four, but the fourth hasn’t been released yet. You can bet I’ll be reading it as soon as it is though. Which should be a preview to you... Continue Reading →

Fictional Bad Boys: 3 Questions
Ciao, amici. Charles E. Yallowitz has been writing a series of posts on his site, Legends of Windemere, about bad boys in fiction.

Ciao, amici! Happy Independence Day! Yes, I’m a day late. But when you think about it, the holiday is kind of arbitrary. Independence was actually declared on July 2. Congress approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4. It wasn’t signed until August 2. So I figure anytime between July 2 and August 2 is... Continue Reading →

Sue Coletta’s RACKED #bookreview #suspense
Ciao, amici. Today, I want to share my early thoughts on Sue Coletta’s upcoming release, Racked. Sue has two ongoing series at the moment, and I’m hard-pressed to say which I enjoy more—Mayhem or Grafton County.

Which is too bad, as I’d like to thank him or her for the wise words: At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength. Hope that... Continue Reading →

Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links
Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a hodgepodge of work and family activities. No two days were the same. I kind of like that (although not when it involves loved ones having surgery—my dog on Tuesday and my dad today). But in general, I think variety makes my mind sharper. I believe it...

Learning Something New from Mr. Muse #writerslife
Ciao, amici! That was as far as I had gotten when this happened… “Ahem.” I am already in my jammies, typing this in bed. It’s one thing for Mr. Muse to be in the house, but it’s another when he’s in the master suite. The master suite! My hubby would not be amused to see... Continue Reading →

D.L. Cross Visits Jacqui Murray with a #BookExcerpt from THE GATE #scifi #aliens
Ciao, amici! Sorry about the two-posts-in-one-day thing, but I have something wonderful to share. If you’ve been following this blog for even a few months, you know I did something I said I’d never do. I started writing under a pen name. The reasons are long and varied and not the reason for this post.... Continue Reading →
