Book Review: Ninety-Eight by Shannon Mayer

Pain. Heartache. Tears. All of these things are associated with love. That's right, L-O-V-E. Since I was the copy editor on Shannon Mayer's newest contemporary romance Ninety-Eight, I can't exactly review it on Amazon, but I can here on my website. The reason I'm doing this is because you have to read this book. I'm not kidding. In fact, I'm demanding you read this book. I have never before had a book pull so much emotion out of me. It's sweet, funny, heart-wrenching, warm, and soul searching. And it has one helluva plot twist that I will absolutely not give away, but trust me, you'll want to wring the author's neck. I *almost* bought a ticket to Canada.

A New Book by R.C. Murphy

Author R.C. Murphy may only put out two books a year, but they are so worth the wait. In Too Deep is no different. Murphy's attention to detail never ceases to amaze me, and in this book of vampires, the detail gets pretty gruesome in that you might squirm in your seat like I did. *shudders*

Go “Into the Darkness”

Hello, my darling Minions! I've missed you so much. And I have GREAT news, but first, I have to show off this guy... Isn't he awesome? Fumangoddess gave him to me when we went to see RIDDICK Thursday night (and yes, I'm working on a review for that). But for the GREAT news! Just Ink… Continue reading Go “Into the Darkness”

I’m Sorry

Sorry I’m Late!

Blimey! I just opened mine eyes, and lo! I have not updated this since you last visited... You would not believe how insane my life has become. Seriously! I am absolutely consumed with an awfully big adventure, being distracted by the shiny, the Doctor, and just generally being a pain to every man and his… Continue reading Sorry I’m Late!

Formatting 101

Formatting is very simple, but if you're not familiar with MS Word, I'd suggest "playing around" with all its functions or taking a class to learn it better before you begin hacking your or someone else's book to pieces. I've been working with word processing programs for the better part of 20 years and most… Continue reading Formatting 101

Back in the Swing of Things?

I can't remember the last time I sat down and worked--actually worked--on a story. Over July 4th weekend, I went down to Tucson for a "writing retreat" to visit Kitty, but did I get any writing done? Nope. Plotting, yes; writing, no. On the bright side, I did some research and figured out the plot… Continue reading Back in the Swing of Things?
