Some weeks (or months) ago Jen Knox and I swapped memoirs. She sent me a copy of her book Musical Chairs, which explores her family’s history of mental health diagnoses, her years of strip-dancing, alcoholism, and estrangement, and her struggle for reconciliation. (That’s from the cover.) I also sent her a copy of Love through […]

I’m focusing on finishing up a couple of books, so that I can bang out reviews for them on my new eBook Reviews blog, just launched this week. For the launch, I’m extending huge deals on my e-books. Then the price goes up by over 300%. One of the books I’m anxious to review is […]

I’m reading Maria Savva’s A Time to Tell, at the last minute for a GoodReads reading group. This is part of my goal to read more unknown, mid-list, and indie authors this year. Maria sent me a copy of book as a PDF (even though it isn’t officially available as an e-book). She was also […]

A couple weeks ago, I interviewed Linda Boulanger, author of Becoming, a collection of faith-based, short-short stories. After the interview, a pseudonymous Internet hacker promptly distracted me by breaking into my hosting provider and swiping a friend’s domain name. So it took over a week for me to get back on track, but I’m actually […]

Last week, I started reading I See You by Holly Lisle. I still am reading that book, and loving it. The entire story so far has been written at least competently, and in some instances, Holly has excelled. I totally get her characters, even when they don’t make normal sense, because she shows me who […]

I just finished Taxed to Death, which actually did get better near the end. I’ll post a better review later. For now, I need to pick a next book to read. Now, I did download a number of ebooks from Smashwords, where numerous authors (including yours truly) are offering their titles at 25% off, 50% […]

I’m about half-way through Debra Purdy Kong’s backlist novel Taxed to Death. (And all you rabid readers are saying, “Get on with it already, will ya?!” Remember, however, I have other things to do all day besides just reading novels. 🙂 I expect this one to take me at least another week.) I’m not an […]

Yeah, I know. It’s actually Wednesday… The holiday on Monday pushed everything late, and I forgot to post this yesterday. I’m reading Taxed to Death, by Debra Purdy Kong, as part of the “Pay It Forward 2010” group on Goodreads. I’ve just started reading the book, so I haven’t really formed a complete opinion yet. […]

Usually, for Teaser Tuesdays, I follow accepted practice and post a couple sentences from a book I’m currently reading. But I’ve always been a rebel, and I don’t see why I should change now. For the second day of Valentine’s week, I thought I’d post a snippet from an under-appreciated author’s first book, Dancing on […]

I got a wonderful email this week from Carrie L., who just recently read Love through the Eyes of an Idiot, my short, romantic memoir about YA angst and unconditional love. Carrie’s email I just had to share. (With her permission, of course.)
