Unpublished Writers, Don't Visit Book Expo or You Might Get Shot at Dawn.

1.

I love book fairs like BEA09.



The first hour I always walk around like a happy idiot, enjoying the different stands, and the hustle and bustle of book sluts from around the world. The second hour I still like being there, I smile at strangers and admire their cleavage. The third hour I start getting sarcastic. The fourth hour I want to kill everybody.



Yes, BookExpo America (BEA09) is great and exhausting at the same time. There are too many self-help books for… Continue

Blogger Review of "Boy Toy" By Barry Lyga

Most would greet this novel's subject matter with discernment or with chagrin, rather than read this book. But before judging it harshly, please be aware Barry Lyga handles the issue of sexual abuse with great care. Before delving into the book, I had my own reasons for not reading the novel. Yet some issues such as the sexual abuse of minors is definitely relevant and crucial for a time where sex offenders are prevalent. And where the psychological damage reaped upon the victim can really… Continue

A New Self-Published Author I've come to Love to read!

While as a newly published author who is trying to market and sell my own novel I know this will seem like an insane plan and readers will wonder, why is she promoting another writer's books?! Well, in this crazy, dog-eat-dog world we live in I honestly believe that we all need to help each other and if I like something I want people to know it.



On Lulu.com and a couple on Amazon.com now any read who enjoys action/thrillers or military themed books will just love the books by Roger… Continue

I found the best summertime read...

Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single!



Finally, a truly honest book about what it is like to be single, date, love, and make mistakes. I loved this book from start to finish. Well, the finish isn't exactly what you would expect...it isn't your typical predictable, sappy, everybody wins, ride off into the sunset, this is REAL life, RIGHT?! I could not put this book down. I can now say that I have finally read a book that made me laugh on every page! Heather McElhatton did an… Continue

Author Come to my Werewolf Cafe and Read a Review from Bookaholics about Werewolf Sanctuary.





Werewolf Sanctuary by Eva Gordon

Paranormal Romance- May 6th, 2009

4 stars



I typically tend to be more passionate about reading vampire novels when it comes to the supernatural fiction collection. But I could not help but become intrigued with this shifter book! It had all the elements that grab your attention. I found it an exhilarating page turner from the beginning to end.



Werewolf Sanctuary begins with a… Continue

does anyone else ever feel like this?

I have a few book series that I follow in the mystery world, and the thing is that I'm so excited when a new one comes out that I buy it the day it is released. And that's only if I haven't pre-ordered it on Amazon once I get word a new one is coming out. But then I get the book, get my fix, and it's over, and it may be over a year until the next one comes out. Then I'm really bummed. Is it just me or is there anyone else out there who has this problem?



Like I just finished… Continue

The Secret

The first book in the Seasons of Grace series. I loved Beverly Lewis' Daughters of Abram series. So, I had high hopes for this one, and while I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. Like the title states, this is a novel full of secrets and questions.

The story revolves around the Byler family. Mother Lettie is haunted by secrets from her past, father Judah struggles with his wife's discontent and is unable to do anything about it, daughter Grace… Continue

An Unfortunate Day

Yesterday was one of those horrible unfortunate days that perhaps hit us all from time to time. First of all, I suffered a computer crash, and though I got most everything back again, my e-mail program has been inoperable since then and I have to wait until someone comes out to the house to see if I can get it back. If not, I'll lose a whole load of important emails, attachments, and contacts.



Then, my father-in-law, who was on a visit to our home, suffered a small stroke while he… Continue
