  • THE KICKASS HEROINES BUNDLE

    I’d like to welcome Melissa Snark to the blog today! She’s introducing the Kickass Heroines Story Bundle, which is available today! I love getting Story Bundles as a reader and I LOVE being in them as an author! So, take it away, Melissa! The Kickass Heroines Bundle – Curated by Melissa Snark What does it…

  • Why Veronica Scott Wrote Trapped on Talonque

      Thanks for having me as your guest again! I really regard coming to visit your blog and discussing “why I wrote” the story as a lucky charm for any new release of mine. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of alien civilizations that rose and fell long before our time. I first came…

  • Fitting in is Hard to Do

    There’s something special about a man who has always struggled to fit in, and it gets even better when that man finds his family and his home. I always wondered what it would feel like to be someone with a special gift that set them apart. Then I decided that being “set apart” would probably…

  • Love Your Genre? Why?

    On Facebook (in a science fiction romance group) the other day, someone asked why we liked to read science fiction romance. Personally, I started reading SFR because I loved reading action adventure tales, but a lot of the action adventure was both bloody and mostly featured guys saving the world and stuff. Now don’t get…

  • It’s Dang Good! Or Why I read ABOVE SUSPICION by Helen MacInnes

    I first ran into Helen McInnes through the Reader’s Digest Condensed editions thingy, way back when. My mom used to get them handsomely packaged three together. As was typical for me upon discovering a new author, I headed to the library and did some glomming. It was really hard to pick what book to feature…

  • Please Drag Across Finish Line…

    As soon as I saw this photo, I knew I had to share it. Even if I’m not actually face down, there are times when I feel face down. And yeah, would like to be dragged across the finish line. Thankfully there are some really great people in my life who send me virtual “lift”…

  • Fried Olives? For reals? And another audio book…

    I have to laugh, because when the hubs comes home from one of his photo expeditions and I ask him how it was, I get, “Fun.” Or “Good.” Then he starts posting the pictures and I see his scenic route and probably his eating route. LOL So, it’s Thursday, which means I have another audio…

  • A Stormy Scenic Route & Another Audio Book 🙂

    I love the way the hubs sees the world through the lens of his camera. When a storm is coming, the air changes and you feel a mix of awe and excitement. A tingle down the spine. A good book can give you that tingle of awe and excitement, too. This week I have two…

  • Dragging My Memory Back to High School

    So, as previously mentioned, my high school reunion is this month. It’s been 40 years, so I’m not worried about what to wear or trying to repair the ravages of time. Thanks to FaceBook, most of my classmates have already had time to process time’s b*tch slapping. Gravity has not been kind either. It happens.…
