It’s time for the April Wrap-Up Round-Up! Those of you who are observant noticed that I didn’t do the giveaway for this in March. Sorry about that, but I just decided I needed a one-month breather to catch up on a few things. I’ll be back at it in April (and I’ll allow people to… Read more »

Bite-Sized Reviews of Children of Blood and Bone & Dread Nation
I’ve got two bite-sized reviews for you today. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction!

This is one of those books that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. There was just so much substance to it, and it addressed several important topics from unique perspectives. The problem is, this is a tough book to review without spoiling things, so I’m going to be very general in my review. Trust… Read more »
Why Is Voice in Writing So Hard? And Do You Think About It When You Read? Let’s Discuss.
I actually started writing this as a completely different post (how I read differently now that I’m writing more seriously), but I ended up writing a lot about this voice, and I decided to go with it.
