He joked that hormones must cause superpowers, and I joked back that if they do, menopausal women would have the corner on that market!

And, YES! The sequel is in edits right now, with a planned release of April 20, 2016. Change of Life picks up a few months after the end of the first book, with Jessica and Leonel having joined a super-secret underground group called The Department and Patricia on a woman-hunt for Cindy Liu. (less)

Beyond that, I'm trying to leave myself open to serendipity. While I love my books clubs because of the camaraderie and discussions, and because, with a sense of deadline I *make* time to read even when I'm very busy, I also like just picking what appeals to me on any given day.

Just another month or so of school, then I'm on that lovely summer break schedule with much more time for reading!(less)

Going Indie: Month One

2026 is my year of living dangerously, by which I mean I'm becoming my own publisher. I did some foundational work for that in 2025, which I wrote about here, but the real push started with the beginning of the new year.

Now that we've flipped the first month of the calendar, I thought it was time for an update. I want to document this for myself and as a help to others.

Not Too Late by Samantha  Bryant
"This is for everyone hoping for older, more mature MC's.

I loved the chapter titles being GenX songs, and knew them all.

The story is quick, sweet, and just a lil spicy. Probably a 1.5 out of 5 in the spice department. Nothing wrong with that, as the" Read more of this review »

“Sometimes, Helen felt like she had spent her whole life waiting to be “old enough” and then had crossed over into “too old” without finding out what it was she had been waiting for. It was only now, with the tingle of fire still on her fingertips and the smell of sulphur on her skin, that she felt she knew what she wanted.”
Samantha Bryant, Going Through The Change

“Remember, ninos, everyone has a battle to fight. I wish you the strength to fight yours.”
Samantha Bryant, The Good Will Tour

“Kidnapping was an ugly word for obtaining study subjects.”
Samantha Bryant, Friend or Foe
