Mid-Summer #BookReviews and #Writing Progress @MelindaLeigh1 @DWallacePeach


Woohoo, I've had a breakthrough on my WIP and FINALLY know where the story is going. For a pantser this is equivalent to finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🙂 I'll share another teaser with you soon, but for now let's delve into some of the fantastic summer reads I've …

End of July #BookReviews Part 1- #Reading @danniowenjones @jaxandwillsmum @supermegawoman @JanSikes3


This week it's my daughter's *** birthday! It seems like yesterday that I was teaching her to walk and now she's a mother with an almost-grown son of her own. Where does the time go? This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby- isn't she cute? 🙂 I've read a couple …

#TuesdayBookReviews- Catling’s Bane @DWallacePeach, Between Hello & Goodbye @EmmaS_Writes, The Make-Up Test @jennylhowe


It's been so nice outside that I haven't had much time to visit the blogs, much less come up with a brilliant post {difficult at any time!}, but hope to comment here and there throughout the summer- my apologies.

End of June #BookReviews from @dlfinnauthor @Becca_Zanetti @janet_gover @cryanhyde @WordDreams


The past week has kicked my butt. It's hot and muggy in my area, which makes doing anything indoors a chore. We have AC on the fifth wheel but prefer not to use it unless we have to, which means opening windows in hopes of a breeze and setting up fans to stir the air. …

#BookReview- Treachery in Death by J.D. Robb, Wherever the Wind Takes Us by Kelly Harms, and Means to Deceive by Alex Craigie #amreading

#BookReview Tuesday- @Melissa_Foster, Sharon Wray, @piketoni1 #readingcommunity

End of May #BookReviews #Amreading @teagangeneviene @belovung_birds @JRWard1 and Jamie Beck


One of my favorite places to go when I'm seeking inspiration is Esquimalt Lagoon. On one side, you have the Pacific Ocean with a view of Victoria harbor... and on the other side, Royal Roads University with Hatley Castle seen in many featured films such as Deadpool, X-Men, Smallville, and many more. Is it any …

Two #Steamy #Romance #BookReviews by bestselling authors @Melissa_Foster and Rebecca Zanetti


Photo by Designecologist on Pexels.com It's hard to believe that I normally publish 3-4 books a year and for 2022 it looks as though I'll be lucky to get two done. Maybe it's the lasting effects of Covid, the horrifying war in Ukraine, or a general pall on life, but I feel this weird disassociation …

#BookReview- Two #Westerns to #Read Calder Grit by Janet Dailey and Deputy Cooper by Frank Wheeler


Photo by TANSU TOPUZOu011eLU on Pexels.com There's just something about a cowboy that makes us swoon. They're throwbacks to another era.
