I love, love the cover for this book and after reading Dale’s review I added it to my TBR list on GoodReads. So before the review I thought I would tell you a litte about Dale, who is a member of my Creative Reviews group on GR (our button is over there onRead More →

Even if you have heard about my announcement you haven’t heard it all, so stick around!! I am so excited to share that back in August I recieved a publishing contract from Otherworld Publications to publish my debut novel Masquerade!! As you can imagine I am super excited and I cannot wait to see this book in print and hold it in my hands. I’ll probably cry all over itRead More →

Hey Peeps,Yes, I know it’s friday. I was supposed to announce the winner of the duo pack yesterday but I forgot. (hey, I’m just keeping it real.)
