I’m Back! (Again)

If you’ve been wondering where this website has been, the answer is — complicated. I’m a writer, not a technology guru (just in case you didn’t know). That means I make mistakes when it comes to websites and email lists and things of that nature. One such mistake was not having my domain for this website on the same service…

2021 Reads — Books 11 – 15

Here I am with five new short reviews for you! The books in this post are a bit eclectic, but then, so are my reading tastes in general. I hope you enjoy the continued journey through my 2021 literary journey! Forsaken Dreams by MaryLu Tyndall Okay, so this one requires a bit of background. It is a Christian historical romance…

2021 Reads — Books 6 – 10

Continuing on with my short reviews of the books I read in 2021! These are all still from January. I got a lot read in January both last year and this year, and I’ve found that helps me stick with a reading goal — getting ahead early so I don’t fall behind! The Lazy Girl’s Guide to a Blissful Pregnancy…

2021 Reads — Books 1 – 5

I had such a great time going over my 2020 books and writing short reviews last year, that I decided to do it again this year! I’m not going to be quite as ambitious when it comes to the timeline — rather than doing them all in a month or doing a certain number per week, I’m just going to…

If Stars Can Break the Darkness Down

Now that I’m between writing projects for a little while, I want to start doing the short reviews for the books I read last year — but first I have one post I need to write. It’s very late in coming, but it’s important! I realized when I opened this website last year for the first time in awhile that…

NaNoWriMo Winner!

I did it! It’s been awhile now since I finished, but I wanted to be sure to let all of you know that I made it — 50,000 words in the month of November! It was such an amazing journey — the most consistent writing I’ve ever done in my life. I kept on track with my daily word count…

Finding Home

The text comes while I am feeding my baby her bottle. Hey guys decision has been made and we did not get the house. Let’s see if anything good comes up for this weekend. I had been expecting it, honestly. The house we looked at last weekend had been big, with a huge garage and decent-sized yard, a roomy den,…

Have a Very Bookish Thanksgiving!

I don’t think I even posted last year when I released a novella as part of the A Very Bookish Thanksgiving collection! Last autumn, myself and some other authors did this project together and it was a really wonderful experience. This year, myself and some of the others are releasing our novellas as individual ebooks. Mine is called Grand Intentions,…

Excerpt from Shows

If you haven’t heard — I’m doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year for the first time in years. The last time I did it successfully was 2015, and I tried it in 2017 only to make it less than halfway through. This year, I decided kind of last minute that I wanted to go for it. Sure, that…

2020 Reads — 56 – 61

Well, you may notice that I did not return the next week for the last installment of my short reviews. Nor the next month. It is now more than eight months later! Shortly after the last post, I was busy with a family crisis, then “snowvid” hit — record low temperatures here in Texas — which caused a pipe to…
