I'm reblogging this post because I love Diane Muniers work. And who doesn't like free stuff?
Paid Reviews vs. Honest Reviews
Does buying a "positive" book review mean that I'm being dishonest to potential readers? I don't know the answer to that. I haven't paid for any book review beyond the cost of sending a copy of my book to someone with the understanding that they would repay me with an honest opinion of my work. …
An awesome review!
Getting book reviews generally feels like the bane of my literary existence. It is so freaking difficult to get them. At first, I feel like . . . But then it takes way longer than I think it will and I start going a little crazy. I start stressing out and wondering, "Are they gonna …
Music Monday and Some Free Stuff

Book Review: After Ever Happy by Anna Todd
I just realized that I never posted my review of of the concluding book of the After Series by Anna Todd. I know. Lame right? I can't believe it either. My overall thoughts on this series: The drama between Hardin and Tessa drove me crazy! I lost sleep over it. And I loved every minute …

One month from today . . .
My second novel, September Rain, is coming out! Is it normal to be this nervous? It's my second book, but I'm self-publishing for the first time and it kind of feels like I'm flying blind. I missing the validation that comes from nabbing that coveted publishing contract. But see, even though I'm anxious and worried, …
Fan-girling For Art
I don't usually blog about art, though it's something close to my heart. It's not often that I simply run across a piece that speaks to me. But then, two weeks ago, my husband took me to see a local band called We Killed The King. They were really good--mostly instrumental stuff. I'll be getting …
Flash Fiction: Bread Line
“Could you get another one?” She held up the loaf of bargain priced sandwich bread, voice calm, eyes flickering.
The clerk at the register, who’d just finished bagging the groceries, scrunched his brows together. “Ma’am, is there something wrong with the bread?”
The woman was barely a day over twenty-two and wasn’t used to being addressed so formally. She adjusted the ruffled collar of her silken blouse and replied, “Yes. You bagged it and now the slices are all smashed in the middle.” She pointed with a long, acrylic nail painted to look French. “How can I eat it if it’s all misshapen like that?”
A man in the checkout line behind her rolled his eyes. Sadie ignored him, waiting, hoping the checker who was nice enough to call her Ma’am, might be nice enough to let her exchange the imperfect loaf without further explanation. Hope surged within her when…
