Hello Treasures! It’s a good Monday morning, starting off the last week of April. Can you believe April is already over? Let’s get to it, because I don’t want to small talk today. XD. Writing and getting ready to publish Playgrounds and Black Markers, the sequel to my debut Dewdrops and Butterflies, opened up a…
Hi girls! I wrote this little short story from a prompt on a new website I found called Reedsy where you can write short stories, and there’s a new contest every week! I hope you like it! Feel free to comment any feedback you have. 😀 “How are you?”“Hanging in there.” I smiled, leaning forward…
Hi girls! I’ve been meaning to mention this for a couple weeks now (Since Camp started.) If you’ve been following my blog for some time, you’ll know that I am an avid fan of Camp NaNoWriMo, which is a virtual retreat for authors and writers to get together and reach writerly goals. Every year for…
Okay so this was as amazing as I wanted it to be. I read Deadly Deceit when it first came out and I loved that book, but several of the third person chapters really bothered me. Silent Shadows was all the spunk, action, romance, and perfection of the second book without the chapters that made…
Hi girls! I just thought I’d hop on and write a little update since I’ve got a minute. I hope you all are hanging in there through this odd time in the history of the world. We’ll get through it, I know we will. I’m excited for the future wether that means the world falls…
My dear girl, why do you listen to the people that would only like to see you broken? Why do you seek to change yourself to fit their expectations? Their mocking words, heartfelt advice or simple comments that slice down into your heart and leave you crying at night? Why am I not enough? Why…
Hey girls, readers. Life’s been a bit insane the last couple weeks, right? The world is in a bit of a frenzy, and everybody is sort of scared and stressed and… troubled? It’s ok to admit maybe, that you’re a bit unsettled and afraid too. I know I was and still have moments of fear….
Out of Embers was a cute book! When I first started reading it, I was not drawn in. In fact if I didn’t have to review it I probably would not have picked it up again. How awful it was for Evelyn to lose the entire orphanage. However, because I did have to review it,…
I didn’t love this one. It’s really hard for me to get into biblical retellings, and this was not one of the better ones I’ve read. For one, I hated the way Esther’s relationship with Nebechenezar was all sensual. A retelling didn’t need that. We didn’t need the sexualization of Esther and her husband. We…
Amara Alvarez was awesome. I found that when a good male author writes a female character, I like them a lot more than ones written by female authors. Why is that? Anyway. This book was well done. I really had a blast reading through it and wondering what was going to happen next. I loved…
