Yes, I loved the epilogue. LOVED IT! I wrote my thoughts on my GoodReads review a week ago (or so…NaNo, you know?) and THEN read others’ reviews. No one I ran across shared my view. My feelings—yes, this epilogue left me with the feels in a strong way—were not there to be shared and I […]
I’m over-the-top-excited Rogue Spy is out! Joanna Bourne is a friend, once conference roommate, fellow Virginian, and superb writer. Don’t start one of her novels without time to finish! ~~~ For years he’d lived a lie. It was time to tell the truth . . . even if it cost him the woman he loves […]
I’ll admit it. I didn’t get much writing done this weekend–only about 800 words on the WIP. I did get some studying in, a fangirl hour, and more studying as a result of being a fangirl. Always a good thing! First the fangirl: I went to the start of Maggie Stiefvater’s book tour for Blue […]

For the first time (ever?) the National Book festival was held not-on-the-mall. So we traveled extra Metro stops up on the new Silver Line (this is probably only significant if you live in the DC area: we have been waiting FOREVER for the Silver Line to open!) to the Washington Convention Center. The new venue […]
Woo-hoo! JC and I became critique partners after Free Agent’s reads were complete, so I have looked forward to the start of Marissa’s story, especially after reading the next two installments. This urban fantasy is a wild ride of twists and fairytale problems! When it comes to crafting happily-ever-afters, the Agency is the best in […]
Today’s the day my friend and writing chapter mate releases her debut novel! Please welcome Laura Welling to the ranks of published authors with Talent To Burn, the first in her Urban Fantasy series Hidden Talents.
