• New Release Review: Oath of the Outcast by C. M. Banschbach

  It is HERE!!!! I have been looking forward to this book ever since the first time I heard mention of this mysterious Mountain Baron with a rocky past. Here’s the synopsis (it screams: READ ME!) A lost brother.  An unwilling outlaw.  A rising enemy.  An unusual alliance.  Years ago, Rhys MacDuffy was brutally cut off…

• Interview with #BlogBattle Newcomer & “Dive” Winner Grace Petrelli

   Last week our #BlogBattle word was DIVE, and with it came a new player to the game: Grace Petrelli! Grace is a writer who lives in my very own neighborhood. Not my actual neighborhood, like down the street, but in my physical vicinity. I actually met her in person first! Crazy stuff right there. Though…

• Princess Caityn Tells Her Story

  So, I was searching through my plethora of notebooks, looking for a story I’d started writing a few years ago. Instead of the story for which I searched I came across this little bit. I didn’t date it so I have no idea when I wrote it. (nice memory, right?) It’s written from Caityn’s perspective.…

• Bedtime Story

  Okay, preparing for bed tonight gave opportunity to pull a story out of my brain and lay it bare before my boys. It was all spur of the moment stuff. The boys found it amusing (many jokes were cracked throughout), but they also got something else out of it that will subtly stay with them for…

• “Serve Your Family.”

  There was a 60Minutes spotlight on Frank Hall, who became known as the hero he’s always been two years ago during the shooting at Chardon High. He doesn’t think of himself that way, but he is; he risked his life to protect the kids in that room, standing in the gap. What happened there and at many,…

• Book Signing Experience

  As most of you know, I’m a new author. I’m virtually unknown outside my circles of friends and family. As an author, though, it’s important to get my name and stories out in the world where more people can become familiar with us. We had the chance to have another book signing at Barnes &…
