Sneak Peek of Brand-New Work in Progress! Plus this week’s selection of book giveaways

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Maybe you had a wonderful Friend Day, as they say in Finland, by eschewing all the marketing around yet another over-commercialized holiday, but that’s okay too. That’s what I did. And if you went out and had a super-romantic experience, well, the rest of us will try not to […]

“Joan the Made” by Kristen Pham

Joan the Made Kristen Pham As part of my participation in various giveaways, I’ve been reading and reviewing some of the more interesting books.

Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Giveaway

Detective Mac Carson has been assigned to investigate the shockingly brutal murder of Alfi Longwell, a grad student at the local university. Which is odd, since Mac is not normally […]

The Fountain Boxed Set by Ellison Blackburn
