Double Feature Book Review! "Jaxon" and "Honor & Roses"

11/28/2018

 
I've got two book reviews for you today! I had largely stopped reading romance novels but since my latest WIP will have a little more of the romance element in it, I thought it might be good to study up a bit. Granted, my idea of romance differs greatly from the masses, so I still may miss the mark as far as anyone else is concerned. We'll see, I guess. :) Read on for the book reviews! They're short but I think they give just enough info to give you an idea of what you're getting into.

Writing Challenges: Week 3

11/26/2018

 
Challenges indeed! These have been really hard for me to keep up with for some reason. I may be that I've got several stories going on in my head right now and I've had to answer some of the challenges with responses relating to books 1-3, rather than my current WIP. It could also be that my schedule was totally derailed by the need to have surgery. But whatever the case, I catch up when I can and just keep going forward. Read on to check out my responses for the past week.

Book Review: Montana Snowfall by Caroline Fyffe

11/21/2018

 
I have another short book review for you! Montana Snowfall by Caroline Fyffe is a historical romance set in the late 1800s. I wondered if it would be exactly like others I'd read before. And while the situations in this book weren't exactly new, Mrs. Fyffe tackled them in new and interesting ways, exactly as a good author should.
It's not long, but I hope it will encourage you to give it a try.

Writing Challenges: Week 2

11/19/2018

 
Last week was a real struggle for me. With so many things going on right now, it was super hard to concentrate. I managed to stay above the goal line, though, on my Nano goal tracker, so I'm still counting myself victorious. Read on to find out how I responded to the writing challenges for days 8 - 14.

As you know, my first book is published and I'm super excited to host my first giveaway!

A New NaNo Tradition?

11/9/2018

 
As you know (if you've been reading my blog since the beginning), I originally started writing during my preparation for Nano in November of 2016. (It was actually October if you count all the preparation.) I thought it'd be a fun thing for my girls and I to do together. Being able to incorporate it into our home school classroom was pretty cool, too. I never thought it would light a spark that would fan into a flaming passion for novel writing in my heart.
