Hairdresser to the Centaurs (Podcast Review)
Hello Bloglandia! So, one of the bits of advice for authors is to review stories that match the books we write. Well, I'm all about reading and reviewing, but I can rarely find books that match my stories' twisting and weaving of mythical creatures into improbable situations (such as working in a circus) and especially … Continue reading Hairdresser to the Centaurs (Podcast Review)
The Marvelous Bookstore Makeover (with Celebratory Discount)
Hello Bloglandia! (Note: I also ramble on about this in my latest Video Update at about the 8:45 mark, if you're interested in watching me get all giddy about shiny new things).

Friday Reads – Buttercup, Monsters, and Haunted Halls

Saving the World with “Conscience”
Hello Bloglandia! Recently, I had the exceptional honor of being asked by author, book blogger, and blogging buddy Jonny Pongratz to be one of the beta readers for his sci-fi short story, Conscience.
