Book Review ~ February’s Files
Happy last Tuesday of June. Tuesday means it's book review time. I became interested in Rich Curtin’s Manny Rivera books earlier this year. February’s Files is the second book of the series. https://read.amazon.com/kp/card?asin=B007Q4750Q&preview=inline&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_AER5E5P7Q1DY9E3VSXM9 Blurb Even small towns have secrets worth killing for...A skeleton in a makeshift stone grave is discovered on a remote bluff overlooking...

Book Review ~ Heaven’s Keep
Happy first Tuesday of June! Although summer doesn't officially arrive for another two weeks, in my mind June 1 is always the beginning of summer. There's nothing like curling up by a fireplace with a good book on a cold winter day, but summer also lends plenty of opportunities for reading. I have fond memories... Continue Reading →

Tried and Failed #WIP Wednesday
Hey, everyone. It’s already the second week of April, and it’s been a while since I wrote a WIP Wednesday post. This one is more of a WIHW (What I Haven’t Written) story. I thought by now I would have already written tons of words this year. Wrong! So far, 2022’s word count is shaping... Continue Reading →
Movies, Music, and Writing
It’s no secret that my all-time favorite movie is Casablanca. What’s not to love about this classic with a cast including Bogart, Bergman, Peter Lorre, Paul Henreid, and Claude Rains? It also contains some fantastic quotes. "Here's looking at you, kid." “Play it, Sam.” This is often misquoted as “Play it again, Sam.” (Bogart never... Continue Reading →
Pour it On #NewRelease by @StaciTroilo
Hey, everyone! I posted my January reviews yesterday, but this one deserves special recognition. Pour it On is Staci Troilo's latest release - the second book of her Keystone Couples series. Due to some other commitments, she's not doing an official tour, so I wanted to help her out as much as I could. https://read.amazon.com/kp/card?asin=B09QLKXV5P&preview=inline&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_VYHJF4HD19TAS9EPP6HJ...

January Book Reviews
Is one month of the new year already over? Surprisingly, or maybe not surprisingly, it is. And since it's a Tuesday, it's time for my January book reviews. I've set my Goodreads challenge at sixty books this year. I'm right on track to complete that goal. These are the books I read last month. Ellie... Continue Reading →

December Book Reviews @dlfinnauthor @jacqbiggar @1rburkey
Hey, everyone. Last year I read over sixty books, something I haven't done in a while. I wrote and posted reviews for the majority of them. This year, I'm doing things a bit differently. Rather than posting individual reviews (except in some cases), I plan to write a monthly review post. Also, I'm only posting... Continue Reading →
