Review: Natural Twenty (Roll for Love #1) by Charlie Novak

This book features an incredibly sweet romance between two geeky business owners, featuring delightful secondary characters and an adorable dog.

Review: Three Player Co-op Series by Allyson Lindt

Looking For It (Book 1) I’m a firm believer that romance novels are for everyone, not just (straight) women. That said, sometimes it’s obvious who the intended audience of a book is supposed to be, which is the case for this title. It is blatant wish-fulfillment, utterly indulgent, and honestly: There’s nothing wrong with thatContinue reading “Review: Three Player Co-op Series by Allyson Lindt”

Review: Conventionally Yours (True Colors #1) by Annabeth Albert

2020 has been a bit of a year, and one of the things I miss most is going to conventions to spend time with fellow readers and writers and gamers.

Last Stock Legends: Bach

You might think, from this blog, that I’m the cool person in my household. After all, I have books published, I’m an invited panelist at cool events, and people regularly send me books to read for my opinion before they’re even published. I guess that’s pretty cool. (I certainly enjoy it.) But you’d be wrong.Continue reading “Last Stock Legends: Bach”

Con Report: TridentCon 2016

I’ve been to a lot of conventions, from tiny little things hosted at the local mall to the epic scale of DragonCon. I’m not at the point in my career where I can afford to turn down invitations, and I’m so pleased that I accepted the opportunity to sell books at a local gaming conventionContinue reading “Con Report: TridentCon 2016”
