Flashback Friday: Depression & a Dragon
Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn was probably the longest fantasy novel I read in middle school. Sitting at 576 pages, it’s truly an epic fantasy novel. Length of novels didn’t intimidate me. As a middle schooler, I devoured books like Read More…
Flashback Friday: A Trilogy of Magic and Love
If it weren’t a Flashback Friday post, I could always write some snarky post about George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and Valentines’ Day, complete with lots of death and war, but seeing as I’m supposed to review Read More…
Flashback Friday…Something Wicked This Way Comes
5th Grade. Top of the elementary school ladder and way smarter than I had any right to be, a teacher recommended that I read Something Wicked This Way Comes by science-fiction master, Ray Bradbury. To be honest, my little Nancy-Drew-and-Hardy-Boy-loving-self Read More…
Flashback Friday…On a Pale Horse

2014…such lofty goals I have!
I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. Neither does science for that matter! There are a few things you can do to succeed at your resolutions, but I prefer to set goals. The difference in setting goals is that I Read More…
A Review of Divergent
I just finished reading Divergent (Divergent Series) by Veronica Roth. For me, the pacing of this story is excellent! Similar to the Hunger Games in that ‘edge of your seat’ feel. While I enjoyed the read, I felt like the Read More…
Another year older…
So today, I’m another year older–36 in fact, which feels like 35 did, and 34, and even 33. I’ve never cared too much about age, but turning 36 does make me think about my writing and writing goals. This week, Read More…
