Divergent
It’s one week until the film Divergent comes to theaters. Book lovers, are you going to see the movie? Have you made plans for opening weekend? I’ll be going next Saturday to see the movie.
Did you read the book before you knew it was going to be a movie? I read it shortly after the Hunger Games, long before I knew it was optioned for film. I’m excited for the first movie, but because I wasn’t in love with the final book – it’s made me a little anxious too. What’s your feelings on seeing the f...
Bad Reviews, ARC’s, & Amazon
No one likes a bad review. It happens. I’m curious why some people didn’t connect with the story. Was it the characters, the writing, the pacing, the plot, or the editing (which was handled by Lazy Day Publishing and I have no ability to change).
I received a one star review yesterday from a reader (and now I’m more reluctant to believe they even read the book) that says:

What in the World is an Anthology?
A few months ago in an email thread with my fellow Patchwork Press authors, I saw the word “anthology,” and immediately read it as anthropology. It may have been because I was studying anthropology at the time and my brain was too tired from studying the evolution of society in the face of technology to actually register the word, but it soared over my head.
A night’s sleep and several handfuls of candy later, I registered the word: A...
