Apparently CW decided to reboot Charmed, and given that I’ve watched the original series more than once, I kinda had to check out the first episode. My reaction was…mixed. Positives: 1. This new show is unabashedly political, taking on #metoo with almost brutal head-on force. 2. It also ups the ante on the original show’s feminist themes […]

You, Me, and the Apocalypse: Watch at your Own Risk
I just finished a riveting 10-episode series that aired on NBC last year called “You, Me, and the Apocalypse.” It takes a run-up to your typical asteroid-destroys-the-earth and fills it with strange, exciting characters and insane twists. All counting down to the moment of truth, the moment foretold in the series intro: A man ends […]
Virtual Book Tours: Side-by-side Comparison of 9 Tours
Last week I posted an article entitled Virtual Book Tours: Wise Investment or Waste of Money? Of course the next logical question is: Which tour companies did I like best?

If there was one thing I learned during this book release it’s that persistence pays off. If you’re looking to put your book on the internet, then there are thousands of bloggers you can reach. A few hundred here, a few hundred there, sooner or later it makes a real impact. That’s […]
How to Choose a Virtual Tour Service Provider: Innovative Online Book Tours
I made the decision to hire Innovative Online Tours about a month and a half before the release of my latest novel, Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective. I had already signed up with Pump Up Your Book but was feeling a bit nervous about the number of reviews I was getting through the bigger tour. Ultimately, […]
Top 5 Painful Put Down Moments of 2012
This list is a little late in coming. It’s more the sort of thing to post on New Year’s Eve or maybe New Year’s Day. But I read most of these books in the summer of 2012, kept a running list, and then just plain forgot about it until I started cleaning out my drafted […]
Book Review: Mockingjay
