This was an okay week, nothing big that really went bad, but for some reason the week didn’t go as smoothly. I felt like I did a lot of small things, but didn’t feel as productive. I had a headache later in the week that lasted almost 2 […]

Balanced on the Blade’s Edge (Dragon Blood #1) by Lindsay Buroker My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Fantasy Romance Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: Colonel Ridge Zirkander isn’t the model of military professionalism—he has a tendency to say exactly what’s on his mind, and his record has enough demerits to wallpaper the hull of an airship—but as the best fighter pilot in the Iskandian army, he’s used to a little leniency from his superiors. Until he punches the wrong diplomat in the nose and finds himself issued new orders: take command of a remote prison mine in the […]

A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. What happened this week? This was a pretty decent week. It was a good week for work and I got some non work related tasks fit in. I finally cleaned out my freezer and defrosted it. That should’ve happened months ago, but I kept putting it off. It’s nice to have finally […]

Review: Write Great Beginnings by Sandra Gerth

Write Great Beginnings (The Writer’s Guide Series) by Sandra Gerth My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Non-fiction/ Writing Blurb: The beginning is the most important part of your book. The first chapter—probably even the first page—is what makes agents and editors accept or reject a manuscript, and it’s what makes readers decide to buy a book or pick another. But writing a compelling opening is hard because there are so many things a great beginning needs to do and so many mistakes to avoid. In this book, Sandra Gerth draws on her experience as an editor and best-selling author to teach […]
