Being Indie in an Ocean of Books
Book Tour: The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies
Thank you to the author and The Write Reads for a free copy in exchange for an honest review. Phew, where to start with this one? I heard about The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies a little before the release. She was talking about the domains and even made a quiz. I’m a sucker for Read More
Participating in Writing Prompts
It’s been years since I started making monthly lists of writing prompts but I never used them much myself. I’m going to change that this year. I bought a discounted journal that was perfect for it. With two days on one page, I’ve got enough space to write but not enough to feel overwhelmed. So Read More

My 2021 Writing in Review
It’s the first week of 2022, so I want to look back at last year before looking forward. Reviewing your goals is a good habit although you have to give yourself grace when you haven’t achieved them all. You worked towards them, made progress, or did something entirely different. What you have to understand is Read More
ARC Review: Seven Mercies by Laura Lam and Elizabeth May
Thank you to Orion Publishing and Netgalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review. It’s been so long since I read Seven Devils my longing for the sequel, Seven Mercies, never faded. It was so good, and my expectations for the final book in this duology were high. But Laura Lam Read More
