#MagicRealism, #AlternateHistory or… Review of BLINSBY, plus interview & excerpt

May 29, 2015

Guest Post and #Pg69Challenge: Claire Fullerton’s #romantic DANCING TO AN IRISH REEL

May 27, 2015

I can think of no better culture clash than America and Ireland. I say this because I happen to know to the Irish, we Americans are a bit brazen, we have the annoying habit of being direct. But the Irish are a discreet lot, culled from a set of delicate social manners that seem to dance around everything, leaving an American such as I with much guesswork.

Review of #YA #Fantasy #Quest THE BLACKWELL FAMILY SECRET, plus interview

May 21, 2015

I’ve never been a fan of blaming future generations for the sins of the fathers, but it’s a popular trope with certain gods, villains, and really pissed off ex-lovers.

Review: Lost and Found –humorous mystery thriller

May 19, 2015

In this character-driven humorous thriller, Daisy is a one-woman curvy strawberry-blonde bombshell force of nature. She can’t hold a job, can’t cook, and has a strange sense of dress. Her trademark charm, humor, and joy in life can send any situation spinning out of control, threatening her and hapless partner Solomon with danger, and even chance of death, but just as often providing the clues needed to solve the case.

Null City Novel — Like us on Facebook and be the first to hear about new releases, free stories, and more!

Superpowers suck? Try Null City. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. But someone should have told them the angels were all on the other side.

Each morning, hope flares in the tiny flash of a second before I touch that first thing. And destroy it.

Warden Carey Parker's to-do list is already long enough: find her brother and sister, rescue her roommate, save Null City, and castrate her ex-boyfriend. Preferably with a dull-edged garden tool. A rusty one.

Two novellas: "Payback Is A Witch" & "Just For The Spell Of It"

The story of three women eating our way across India in search of adventure, elephants, temples, palaces, western toilets, monkeys, the perfect paratha…and the kindness of Indian strangers.
