Glittering Court (The Glittering Court #1) <!--[if gte mso 9]></div></o>

The Catcher in the Rye. A book that captures teenage alienation in a way no other has before starts with a seventeen-year-old boy, Holden Caulfield, in an undisclosed ‘crumby place’ not too far from Hollywood (Los Angeles, California) where his brother, one who visits him practically every week, lives. There are those who assume he’s in a psychiatric hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown. Others swear he’s in a tuberculosis sanatorium because he was so sick when he neared the end of hi...

Grey (Fifty Shades #4)  by E.L. James

I have to say that I couldn't be more disappointed in the people - some who claim to be Christians - who believe it is their God given right to demean, belittle, and demoralize others (by that I mean E.L. James)... to post not just bad reviews but reviews that evoke images of blood lust and evisceration.

In my humble opinion, I believe there are teachers, movie executives, publishers, merchants and - yes - even other authors who should be wors...

In other words, it's a gift for anyone and everyone in the spirit of the day. ツ

It's been a while since I've done a formal review of a book, and I've never reviewed an entire series at one time. With Kristen Ashley's Rock Chick Series, I'm breaking my dry spell... I'm speaking out and begging, pleading, insisting, and (insert here whatever works) for you to stop what you're doing and buy this series ($3.99 each and only a $1.99 if you add the audible version). You heard me right. Don't just buy the first book. Go ahead and buy them all because you're going to b...

Just in case anyone assumes I live a life full of constant and consistent drama (or why else would I force my books' characters to live through it... right?), I can assure you that my home life is anything but dramatic. I work hard at maintaining a zenlike balance because I have a day job in healthcare where the only constants and consistents are change and need. It makes for hectic days, and when coupled with the commute from hell (trust me... Houston's rush hour traffic is nightmarish enoug...

I'm not sure what makes this 'blue & black' dress a sensation, but it is. Equally puzzling for me is the fact that half of my family/friends see it as black and blue while the other half vehemently argue that it's as white and gold as white and gold can be. Needless to say, the debate (familial and national) has been the tiniest bit frustrating.
 
 The disagreement is unsettling because the people who aren't seeing the dress in the same 'light' as you - in some situations&nbs...

It's that time of year again... the time when we let those we love know how much they mean to us, how much we love them, and how thankful we are to have them in our lives.

Having my wonderful husband and my sweet children taken care of, I thought I might offer my fans a coupon code to download a FREE copy of  Cheating Time (Longevity, #1)  for anyone who LIKES (or has already LIKED) my  Facebook Fan Page .

It's the time of year when you reflect... when you take inventory of where you've been and plan for where you want to go... when you make resolutions geared toward ensuring the next year is one that allows you to live a freer and fuller life. 

While all I really want to do today is live within a quiet bubble and reflect, I can't ignore the author chatter that is lighting up blogs and social media sites. The entire time I've been writing this post, I've been inundated with doom and gl...
