I always have a playlist for the books I write. Instrumental music for my epic fantasy books, but lots of lyrical songs for my urban fantasy. Some songs are shared across books in the same series, like “Werewolves of London” being a part of every Circle City Magic playlist I …
Back in January, I blogged about what I’d been reading lately. I wanted to post an update with some more books I’ve loved recently. I’m going back to February and March for some of these. Just to recap my reading goals for 2018, I want to read at least 50 …
