Getting Back To The Grindstone

 My first blog post for 2024 is a little late in coming due to the ickiness taking over the house. Everyone has been done with one thing or another. Now that things are getting back to normal I have been catching up on things.

My story Twisted Angel was accepted for the Vixens of Horror Anthology. It will be released in March. I have been trying to get some promo posts for it done. 

I am also working on another story for an anthology called Malice. It's my favorite genre to write too, Crime Fiction. The story is called The Seventh Woman. It's not due until June so I still have plenty of time to get it done.

Yesterday was spent doing edits on The Hunt For Amanda and working on a cover for it. I am having fun with that story.

I am also working on With Deadly Intent, book four in The Blakes series. It's coming along great!

What else is on the agenda for my writing life? A clown story for a challenge called Clown Off. A couple of stories for future anthologies still in the plotting stages, 6 stories about haunted paths, poetry in memory of loved ones, and From Annabelle to Four States. (The book about my hometown)

I have also been getting a lot of reading done this week too. Three books in four days isn't bad. (Reviews coming soon)

I am having fun making author logos as well. It's fun to play around with it. I am working on book covers as well. It gives me something else to do with my spare time.

Well I guess I should get back to work lol. Have a wonderful evening and Later Days!!!

Book Reviews of 2023 Part 7

 Now for the final installment of my book reviews from 2023. I managed to read 61 books so not a bad year. This year I am going to try for 100. Without further ado...

Book one is The Bumbling Bumblebee By Rebecca Atanassova

Another cute book! I love these books!

Second up we have The Trouble With Bubbles by Rebecca Atanassova

A very adorable story that any bubble chasers would love!

Third book is also by Rebecca Atanassova and it's called Flutter by, Butterfly

A really cute book that any child will love.

Fourth book this round is A Hamilton Christmas by Sheila Kell

The final installment in the HIS series. As a fan of this series I am very sad to see the end, but it was most definitely an amazing series. I enjoyed every story and they only got better as they went along. One of the things I loved most about this book was that it included Reagan's POV. It was such a joy to see how this little girl saw things. An amazing book!!! This is definitely a favorite series of mine.

The Christmas Bet by Heatherly Bell is up next

This was a quick, fun read. I can't wait to read more of this series. I loved Ty and Mandy's story, even though it was short. It was definitely worth the read. I absolutely loved it!

After that we have A Companion For Christmas by Lee Tobin McClain

An absolutely amazingly, written story! I could not stop reading this book once ai started. An inspirational story that will help you see that your past does not have to define your future. It's a wonderful story with characters you can fall in love with. Add in a terrific dog and a sweet little girl and it's a story you can't wait to read more of!!!

Twisted Santa by Annie Charme is up now.

This was a quick holiday read, but one I absolutely loved! Nick and Joy are wonderful characters and Theo is pretty awesome. Nick and Joy's story is one of learning to love again and overcoming the sadness of the past. Can they work together to save the toy shop? You'll have to read the story to find out!

And then we have Dog Days of Christmas by Elle James

Kujo and Molly's story is another addition to the Brotherhood Protectors series of book. Along with Six they decide to take a week long vacation when Six suddenly disappears. Can they find their canine friend before something bad happens to him? A terrific story with amazing characters make this book worth the read. I am quickly becoming a huge fan of this series.

Next is the classic Benji's First Holiday by Mary Tillworth

This was a quick, fun read. I have always loved Benji! This book was wonderful and anyone, no matter their age can enjoy it.

And next to last we have another installment to my all time favorite series A Silver Creek Christmas by Delores Fossen

While this is a short story from the Silver Creek series, it's just as amazing as the rest of the stories. There is plenty of action packed into this story. Joe and Sara's story is wonderful!

My final book for the year was A Homemade Holiday by K.D. Hilt

A sweet story about overcoming the tragedy of losing loved ones. I loved everything about this story! Ryder and Makayla are terrific characters. I am excited to read more of these stories!!

I hope you have enjoyed my reviews for the year. I plan to post the ones I do this year as well. Until next time... Happy Reading!
