How Josh – the big ‘ol jerk from Fat Girl Begone! – Came Into Being #romcom #romance #writerslife

I was recently received a scathing review for Fat Girl Begone! The reviewer thought I was making fun of fat people in the book. That was not my intention – at all! Especially since I’m more than a little chubby myself. In this guest post I wrote ages ago, I explain my thoughts behind Fat Girl Begone! I’m…

Character Guest Post from Finders, Not Keepers #CozyMystery

For today’s blog post, I’ve asked Terri of Finders, Not Keepers to explain her thoughts behind the English proverb Finders, Keepers. She had a lot to say.

And now it’s time for a light-hearted book review #Bookreview of Sentinel of Darkness from @katiereus #MondayBlogs #AmReading

Another week, another excuse for not finding time to read my current Pulitzer Prize winner in fiction. *hangs head in shame* But, let’s face it, sometimes you need to read something light. Something that’s not hundreds of pages long. Something that doesn’t force you to use your brain while you try to remember some obscure…
