#Zombies #fairytales & #FridayFiveChallenge from @rosieamber1

July 31, 2015

I’ve already survived beings who shuffle along, wipe their oozing slime, puss, and (frequently) blood onto me, are known to bite and (also frequently) infect me with absolutely disgusting plagues. I do have four kids after all.

You can take the girl out of the South, but… #BookReview of #gothic #fantasy ATONEMENT, TENNESSEE

July 30, 2015

She said she was glad I wasn’t a ‘real’ Yankee (I was), gave me her recipes for red beans and rice (yum) and homemade mayonnaise (WTF?), taught me how to smock (!) and told me to watch out for the Faculty Wives Club at the University (I did).

How to take a grownup summer holiday. Or not…

July 28, 2015

I can stay anywhere. Okay…anywhere that has wifi. And an en suite because I won’t put on shoes to use the bathroom. And a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and microwave. A patio with a grill. Privacy. Good restaurants, access to museums and culture, outdoor recreation, water, mountains, good transportation, and historical sites. And an electric kettle.

Dark #UrbanFantasy UNHINGED by Shelley Pickens #RBRT #Bookreview

July 27, 2015

“Doctor, this woman’s kidneys are missing.” We made it through various bits of eerie mayhem—including the alien birth (tastefully shown in silhouette behind a scrim, but I still recognized my daughter as the ‘mother’)—by not meeting the eyes of any other parents.

Urban Fantasy vs Horror~LOSING IT by Elizabeth Armstrong #RBRT #Bookreview

July 22, 2015

In most horror, it’s enough that the main characters survive Daddy coming for them with an axe. But in urban fantasy, they catch the ghost who drove Daddy crazy and charge him with income tax evasion, bring hot dish to the ghost’s mama, and maybe end up married to the ghost’s sister.

The f-bomb, cheating, and #FridayFiveChallenge from @rosieamber1

July 17, 2015

My first day of work in Seattle, someone whispered about a coworker who “dropped the f-bomb”. Since I came out of software and we were dropping the entire f-word without any euphemisms, this struck me as completely hilarious.

Would you kill baby Hitler? #RBRT #BookReview of #WWII #TimeTravel Romance ISABELLA’S AIRMAN by Sofia Grey

July 16, 2015

“The first rule of time travel is that any and all modifications made to the timeline result in Hitler winning World War II. Run over a hippy in 1968? Hitler wins.
— colonel_green, ScansDaily”

Everything but the Glittery Hoo-ha~#BookReview: Plundering the Romance Novel, #parody by Ionia Martin

July 14, 2015

So Candy fell deeply in love with the monkey and changed the ending to him eating all the planes and crushing all the military vehicles, after explaining to him that she couldn’t ever be with him because inter-species relationships were not allowed on Amazon.

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.
