Boy, have I got news for you!! First off, I am calling all my fellow authors with books and newsletter out there to join my newsletter swap!! What is a newsletter swap, you ask? Gooood question! Well, it can work in multiple ways, but for this one, I'll be accepting participants until March 14th, and then I'll pair up the authors by their genre, audience, etc. The authors will then swap newsletters - which means Author 1 will share about Author 2's book and newsletter, while

So...*cuffs the back of her neck* I'm going out on a proverbial limb here and publishing my first-ever devotional. Yes, a devotional. As in, a piece of nonfiction. Crazy, right? *winks* (Those of y'all who know me well know I all but vowed to never write nonfiction apart from blog posts/articles. Look how that turned out.) I started by writing and posting a devo a day in January, and people actually seemed to like them and were asking if I'd compile them into a book...so here

Which may mean some spoilers, so watch out. Stars: 3.5 Synopsis: Lady Annabeth De Lacy, daughter of Galway Parish’s newest landlord, is apprenticed out to the local jeweler, Seamus Jennings, upon arrival to satisfy her creative curiosities. However, her apprenticeship becomes muc

What's this? Someone's putting together an anthology? All about love and romance? And submissions are open now? Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Well, what if I told you that I was the one putting together a romance anthology? And that anyone is allowed to submit their romance short story of up to 5k words between now and March 31st for a chance to be one of SIX stories selected to be published this coming June? I dunno about y'all, but I'd be pretty excited if that were so. A

We're doing something a little different today, folks! I'm sharing about a brand new children's book written by a friend of a friend, Kylie Beevers! She's penned a lovely little book following the journey of a young fox...but, oh, don't let me bumble a summary! You can read about it below! About the Book Bramble is just your ordinary fox scrounging the forest floor with his Da, Mum, and kit brother before he is thrust snout first into the warrior life. For his whole life Bra

We live in a world that tells us all are equal, but why do I feel like I’m not good enough? Why do I feel worthless to a culture that has such low standards? Why is it that I’m told that I have to be stronger, have to work harder, have to know more to be valuable? Why is it that the culture is pushing this idea of a strong, capable woman with higher knowledge and power as if women aren’t already strong and capable?

Stars: 4.5 Synopsis: Returning to his childhood home of Russia should’ve been a time of joy, reunion, and happy memories for Gabriel Kelly. Should’ve been...but for the fact that he’d returned to bury his parents.
