Catching up on my WriYe blog circle prompts, plus it’s an easy blog topic in the midst of convention planning, haha. (Trying to figure out my last outfit for the con. Do I want something that says “horror writer” to
Cozy Fantasy
Happy Thursday, squiders. I had a lovely birthday yesterday, but today’s been a mess. One of the things I did yesterday, though, was sit and finish The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, which was a lovely book that I
Garage Sale Finds: Rumpole a la Carte
Sorry for the radio silence, squiders. Turns out I’m having a hard time keeping on top of everything with the release, and some of the other things in my life are getting neglected. So I’m going to go ahead and

Year-end Book Round-up 2021
