So, as I mentioned in passing, the Frenchman and I are moving. We bought a house! Our very first! C’est très excitante! Anyway, the whole point of this post is to say I’ll be absent from the the blog this week. BUUUUT, I’ll tide you over with pictures of my dream house. You know…once I […]
5 out of 5 stars. What a fun read! Honestly, I was hooked from page 1–Cinder has such an appealing voice, and the world is so fascinating (I heard someone liken it to Sailor Moon, and that just made me DETERMINED to read). Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the […]

So, when I was visiting Sarah J. Maas over the holidays, we got to talking about our shared love: Star Wars.

5 out of 5 stars. My BFFR Sarah J. Maas‘s first novella is FOR SALE! And all I can say is: you NEED this story in your life. And no, I’m not just sayin’ that because she’s my BFFR. All friendships aside, this story and its heroine are fantastic. Celaena Sardothien is tough, stubborn, and […]

Don’t forget today’s auction! I’m offering a 50 page + query letter critique, and all proceeds go towards helping Donna’s Dream House, a home for children and teens with terminal illness. My critique strengths in my own words: 1) I’m tough. There’s no holding back here. If I see something that’s an issue (be it […]

2012 is here, and I’ve had ARCs for almost three months now…but it was always too early to give them out. (You know, seeing as the book doesn’t release until July.) But now…NOW, my friends, the time has come… ::drum roll:: YOU can win an ARC of Something Strange & Deadly! (Have I made this […]
