• At Odds with Destiny – PreOrder Time!

  Native Lands, my latest release, is one of the novels featured in this new box set. I’m proud to have my work alongside some very talented and lovely authors. While the novels span the spectrum of literary, historical, and contemporary fiction, they all contain a common element. Finding themselves at odds with destiny, the characters in…

• Book Review Friday – The Art of Love by Michele Shriver

  I’m a huge fan of Michele Shriver’s books. In her newest release, The Art of Love, she switches genres from contemporary women’s literature the romance. The Art of Love did not change my opinion of her ability to create characters I’d like to have as friends and others I love to hate. In her other…

• Book Review Friday – Gone Girl

  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn surprised me. I thought it was simply a novel about a disintegrating marriage. There is nothing “simply” about this story. Since my review is the 19,852nd of Gone Girl, others must have some strong feelings about the novel as well. I really don’t know how I feel about it. Is…

• #Book Review Friday – Time to Let Go by Christoph Fischer

  I’m used to being transported to another era when I read a novel by Christoph Fischer. Set in England, his latest offering, Time to Let Go, transports the reader, not through the years, but into the lives of one family dealing with the splintered effects of Alzheimers. I’ve lost several relatives and friends to this…
