Welcome Sarah! Why do you write? I’ve always written. My first attempt was at about ten; a heart-rending tale of orphans, lost love and hardship … and pirates, it just wouldn’t be a good tale without them. What’s your favorite genre? Do you have a favorite author (if so, please tell us the name)? [...]
Welcome Madelyn Hill: Hello Madelyn! Why do you write? I've always been an avid reader and from a young age would write short stories. Stories seem to pop into my head and I like to flesh out plots, characters and research. Even when I'm swamped with other things, my mind tends to wander to [...]

Ha. Yeah, me neithier...but he's cute. And has nothing to do with my topic other than he is obviously perceived differently [...]

The Promised One by C.D. Hersh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holy Cow. This one surprised me. I was immersed from the beginning by curiosity about the ring. Then things became more and more complicated. Love the way Rhys and Lexi work off each other. And the complexities of the relationship compounded by her [...]

So, today I'm lazy on blogging...and industrious on something else. I am installing a security system for someone and writing 2000 words on the MIP--a masterpiece in progress (tongue-solidly-in-cheek). Lack of quality blogging seems to be my mode of operation lately. That said, I found these cool blog posts in the wee hours of the morning while I [...]
