Read Around the Rainbow | Contemporary Re-Reads

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time! On the last Friday of every month, we’re a group of authors who blog on the same topic. This month, the topic is: What book could you read over and over again?  

I never used to reread books. Never. Then I broke my brain fifteen years ago. I hit the famous wall, and since then, I’m changed. My brain doesn’t work the same. It’s not capable of doing the same things it did before, and some days all I want to do is to sit in quiet and read, but the idea ...

Guest Post | Vampire’s Cupcake

A few days ago, Holly’s Vampire’s Cupcake was released. It’s the second story in the Off the Paved Road series. 

The first story is Panther’s Luck, which I wrote back in 2023. The plan was always to turn it into a series, or maybe not when I started to write it, but once I had an idea of where it was going, I planned for it to be a series. Then other things happened, and I felt pressured to continue writing on the series I’d already started. 

Over and over again, I pushed this world back on the ...

Guest Post | A Vampire Named Otto by Holly Day

A few days ago, A Vampire Named Otta was released  

It’s a short story about Zephan, who can turn invisible at will, and Otto, who is a vampire. Zephan finds himself in a spot of trouble. He’s been kidnapped by werewolves, but since he can turn invisible, he escapes pretty easily. He can’t mask his scent, though, so they track him.  

To get away, he runs, but wolves are fast. He finds a house and thinks he’s saved. Turns out the grumpy vamp who lives there is more concerned about his lawn than h...

Guest Post | On Dragon Row by Holly Day

Hiya! I’m here as Holly today. A few days ago, On Dragon Row was released, and it’s a box set of my three Dragon Row stories – The Book Dragon’s Lair, Mated to the Fire Dragon, and The Dragon’s Prisoner.  

They can all be read as standalone stories, but characters from previous stories will appear.  

We have dragon shifters finding their human mates either by pretending to be someone they’re not, trying to help out a sick man, or simply locking them up in their basement. Any way is good as long ...

Guest Post | When at War with Witches by Holly Day

A couple of days ago, When at War with Witches was released!  

I have this problem where I write a story, thinking I’m writing a standalone, and then completely messing up by creating a world I don’t want to leave. It happens all the time, and this time, it’s no different. 

I had this idea. I wanted to write evil witches, a story where the MCs came from different sides of a conflict but were forced to work through it. I did that. We have a witch and an alpha werewolf forced into an arranged mati...

Guest Post | Mistakes Were Made by Holly Day

I’m here as Holly today!!! Yesterday, Mistakes Were Made was released, and I figured I’d share the first chapter with you.  

This is a little different from what I usually write. To begin with, it’s a contemporary story, with no magic or werewolves in sight. Second, there are no neurotic over-the-top characters, which is… unusual.    

We have two men, and I never specify their age, but they have a twenty-four-year-old daughter, so 50-55-ish. Seven years ago, Gael walked out on Ethan, and Ethan’...
