Review of Hope Dies Last: An Alaskan Adventure by Megan Webb
When I started reading Megan Webb’s book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The main character, Mekana, works in a pet store in New Mexico and lives in an apartment with her sister, Bird. The sisters are obviously close and love quoting movies, being goofy, and having fun. While Bird is outgoing and easily has…

Excerpt from Arianna (Unpublished WIP)
I started the first call…only for it to ring four times and go to an answering machine. I hung up. We didn’t ever leave messages, so that person’s number would just go through the system again and would be called by someone tomorrow. It was all automatic. I smiled grimly, thinking of all the times…

Review of First of September by Kathleen Joyce
You know that cozy feeling of holding a warm beverage, wrapped in a blanket, and curling up with a good book by the fire? That’s Kathleen Joyce’s cozy mystery…with a murder or two in the mix. I admit that I haven’t read many cozy mysteries, but the appeal is inviting from page one of First…

Excerpt from Arianna (Unpublished WIP)
Friday evening, after closing the book, I went to my familiar place at the vanity and sat. My tattered journal was now full, so I reached for the paper bag that held a new one. On the way home from work, I’d taken a detour to a historical part of one of the western suburbs…

Excerpt from Arianna (Unpublished WIP)
The service began at 9:30. As it progressed, familiarity returned in full force. A person might think it would be foreign, like wearing someone else’s broken-in shoes, to return after so many years. The music, the words, the prayers–all were like slipping into a pair of my own old shoes. The sermon nearly caught me…

Excerpt from Arianna (Unpublished WIP)
My body still shook with the sting of Brad’s words when I pulled into Nana’s narrow driveway. The street was dark, with the exception of a streetlight every three houses. Buried between Nana’s house and the neighbor’s nearly identical bungalow, I stayed in my car with the windows rolled up for some time. The night…

Book Review of Production Values by Liv Bartlet
Never mix business and pleasure. It’s a phrase we’ve all heard, and there’s a reason for this. The consequences can be disastrous. This is the premise of Liv Bartlet’s debut women’s fiction novel, Production Values. This edgy, contemporary, sometimes cut-throat story takes the reader on an emotional ride through the throes of best friends, Kat…

Book Review of Finding Kate by Pamela Humphrey
Kate Westfall thought she was done with her family’s secrets. Think again. Finding Kate is the second in the Texas Hill County series by Pamela Humphrey. It immediately follows the first book, Finding Claire, which I highly recommend you read before diving into Finding Kate. Otherwise, Finding Kate won’t make much sense! You can read…

Excerpt from Arianna
The sky was vibrant orange and pink over the lake as Marc and I sat on his couch. “You have a million-dollar view,” I said. “I’d like to think it’s priceless.” I turned toward him and smiled. His right arm was draped around me as I sat with my legs pulled up on the cushions.…
