I originally watched this movie when it came to the theater, but my 8-year-old heard about it from some friends at school (because of the recent release of the sequel) and wanted to watch it. So we watched it together (amazon digital content, $2.99). And for an 8-year-old, it was a good movie. For an […]

Book Review: Sin Undone
Though I continue to enjoy this series for all the reasons I’ve been saying — a fast pace, an intriguing world, suspenseful plots, etc. — I have to confess that Sin has been my least favorite heroine so far. She’s prickly. I’m not a fan of prickliness, and I almost always have trouble buying that […]
Book Review: Death Sworn
Leah Cypess has once again written a captivating tale of magic and adventure that is appropriate for young adults but engaging for audiences of all ages. Illeni was a powerful sorceress — one of the most powerful. She had her entire life to look forward to, including a young man she planned to marry, but […]
Book Review: Ecstasy Unveiled
This continues to be a fast-paced, enjoyable series full of intriguing world building, moral gray areas, and lots of steamy content. At this point, the characters are starting to blur together a bit in my mind, which is the main reason I’m going three stars. The bad-ass heroes and heroines need a bit more variance, […]
Aaron Paul Lazar’s Lady Blues
I’m pleased to introduce my friend, Aaron Paul Lazar, here today to share a bit about his vision for his latest book, Lady Blues. There’s also a sneak peak at chapter one! A Miracle Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease? I can’t help myself. I wrote about a fictitious cure for leukemia in Essentially Yours (Tall Pines […]
Life Cycle of a Novel: Slow and Steady
There are a lot of approaches to writing a rough draft. Some do it in spurts, writing tends of thousands of words in a few days. I’m more of a slow and steady kind of writer. I set measured weekly goals that I break down into daily goals — although if I’m on a roll […]
Book Review: Passion Unleashed
Another captivating book in the Demonica series that just keeps me wanting more. In this one we get the vampire incubus Wraith, who is injected with a rare poison and can only be saved if he gets a protective charm away from a woman. No problem, since to get the charm he just has to […]
Touch of Fate FREE This Week
Touch of Fate was my debut novel, first published in 2006, a story of suspense about a woman who can predict the future but who cannot change the things she sees. Marianne knows the future can’t be changed, but sometimes even a lifetime of experience can’t keep her from wanting to try. Sometimes, it’s […]
Book Review: Desire Unbound (Demonica #2)
This continues the story of the three incubus doctors/paramedics who run Underworld General Hospital. In this one, Shade, cursed to become insubstantial if he ever falls in love, falls in love. (Who didn’t see that one coming?) I did enjoy this and read it even more quickly than the first, partly because I was already […]
Book Review: Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1)
An intriguing beginning to a series I definitely plan to keep reading… Eidolon is an incubus doctor working at Underground General Hospital (UGH). He treats demons, mostly, although early in this story a human — well half-human, she just doesn’t know it — ends up in his ER. She’s a demon slayer whose world is […]
