Have you seen my bookspiration? I seem to have lost it and desperately need it back. Why have I lost it, you ask? Because my headspace is everywhere these days, and I am blaming COVID. My 9-5 is in Healthcare and my husband farms, so we are still working full time, kids out of school… Continue reading BLOG POST: ISO My Bookspiration

BLOG POST: HEA = Romance?
This past weekend held a lot of drama in Romancelandia. People came out of the woodwork in support and in opposition of Lucia Franco’s book Balance, which was released back in 2016. While this post isn’t about that mess, it is about something that piqued my interest while I was reading through the onslaught of… Continue reading BLOG POST: HEA = Romance?
BLOG POST: Reading Romance… is it changing your standards or expectations?
The first time I saw a variation of this question was about seven years ago. Fifty Shades of Grey had become a phenomenon, I was reading romance, but nothing like I do today, and one of my friends told me I had to read this book.

BLOG POST: Re-reads
Do you do re-reads? Re-reads seems to be a 50/50 topic when discussed by readers and authors. Personally? I am a huge re-reader. If the book is a favorite of mine, I’ll re-read it till I almost can recite the entire thing by memory. When I am in a reading funk or just feeling down,… Continue reading BLOG POST: Re-reads
BLOG POST: book-peeves. take 1
Opinions are like assholes; everyone got one. It seems like when it comes to the book community; the views get bigger and louder. Maybe it’s just because it’s my community, so I pay more attention but anyone who said a creative soul is quiet and meek hasn’t met a romance writer with an opinion. Todays… Continue reading BLOG POST: book-peeves. take 1
