In spite of doing each of these things twice, she couldn’t stay warm and relocated to Nashville. She owns several swords, but lives a non-violent life, saving all swashbuckling for the page, knitting scarves, gardening, visiting coffee shops, and cuddling with her husband and two panther-sized cats. Her first novel Ghost Tamer is an Amazon Editor's Pick, an IBPA Benjamin Frankl ...more

Where were you 25 years ago?

Every anniversary of 9/11 doesn’t hit me. I wasn’t in New York. I wasn’t close with anyone who lost their life that day, but I still remember everything about that morning down to what I was wearing. And when I look back, I can see how sharp of a turning point it was for life in the United States.

En route from Louisiana to Chicago. June ‘01

A lot of people I know were at school that morning. Som

A Horn of Onyx by Meredith R. Lyons
"If I can’t convince you to read this book in one line, nobody can:

Blood-thirsty battle unicorns.

There’s the character arc and the relationships and the world and a tremendously easy-to-hate villain too.

Oh and there’s some absolutely wild action in t" Read more of this review »

Why are people being so mean to this awesome book?

I normally read fantasy or scifi, but I absolutely adored this book. I am a character first reader and the characters did it for me. I cannot wait for the sequel. I literally could not put this book d

You have to love an Anastasia Romanov story. And personally I love that the rest of her family is a little bit involved here as well. I was rooting for Anastasia the entire time! (Not so much her brother, Alexei. LOL) I loved how they figured out the ...more

I had so much fun reading this book. Marlitt is insane, but I really enjoyed how obsessed she was with finding the truth. She really puts everything on the line. I enjoyed all the side characters, there were several really believeable red herrings, a ...more

“to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go”
