Cover Reveal: Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln

Cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln. A Japanese girl stands with her back to the viewer and looks over her shoulder. She is on a city street at night.

Today I’m excited to be part of a cover reveal of Dream Eater for World Weaver Press. This is a gorgeous cover, and the book sounds fantastic! Here’s the description: Koi Pierce dreams other peoples’ dreams. Her whole life she’s avoided other people. Any skin-to-skin contact—a hug from her sister,…

LFG is a Fun Warcraft Related Romance

I just read a super-fun romance novel by Alexis Hall called Looking for Group. Get your mind out of the gutter–it’s a World of Warcraft reference! This book might not be everyone’s cup of tea, because large sections of it are written in the format of Guild Chat. For me,…

Book Rec: Angela Korra’ti’s Free Court of Seattle

Cover of Faerie Blood by Angela Korra'ti; an African-American woman with pointed ears plays the violin

I’ve had Faerie Blood by Angela Korra’ti on my Kindle app for some time now because I like the author’s blog. I finally got around to starting it last week, and I did nothing else all day but read it–far too late in the night! As soon as I finished…

My OwnVoices 2017 Reading Resolution

Image with book graphics and text that says "OwnVoices: My 2017 Reading Resolution"

Today we’re going to talk about diversity in books. Specifically, the OwnVoices movement. Most of us can agree that 2016 has been a year full of turmoil, trouble, and tears. As an historian, I watched the Republican candidate’s campaign with growing horror. I could draw so many parallels to totalitarian regimes…

Help an Author Out

This December I’ve been looking for ways to help people. I try to do that every December, but this December feels a lot different from the past several Decembers. I’m not really looking forward to 2017. After all, 2016 has been horrible: creative people dying, atrocities being committed, fascists rising…

Giftmas Blog Tour graphic with snow and presents

A Guest Post by Rhonda Parrish For me, Christmas has always been about three things–food, family and presents :) In fact, my family celebrates a secular version of Christmas that we call Giftmas. Okay, mostly just I call it that, but I hold out hope that it will catch on…

Christmas Roast and Other Traditions

No one in my immediate family likes turkey much. This wasn’t always the case. As a child, I remember my grandmother making a turkey every year. She made the perfect dressing, too. There was always pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas. (I like pumpkin pie so much it is my birthday…
