As one of the #CMCon18 featured bloggers, I get to have a little fun with a few of the fabulous authors who will be hitting the beach for Coastal Magic 2018 by showcasing their many stories. We had so much fun with last year’s At the Beach feature, that we’re […]

We Want To Know…What Are You Reading?

10 January 2018 Jackie 2

I could go on about what I’ve been reading, or realistically how I have not read anything, but I’m more curious to know – what are you reading? Have you found something different? Something new? Something fantastical?  What are you looking forward to releasing this month? In February? In 2018? What new […]

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

9 January 2018 Casey 0

Over the years, I’ve read countless fairy tales and their retellings. Some retellings would be almost identical to the fairy tale itself, while others were vastly different. I can honestly say that Cinder by Marissa Meyer is the most unique retelling of Cinderella that I’ve ever read. The biggest difference is […]

8 January 2018 Jackie 0

As one of the #CMCon18 featured bloggers, I get to have a little fun with a few of the fabulous authors who will be hitting the beach for Coastal Magic 2018 by showcasing their many stories. Writing short stories, even mini-fiction, can’t always be worked into a writing schedule; so […]

Lately I’ve been going between reading binges and not reading a thing; so if a story intrigues me, then it’s pretty much a guarantee I’ll end up binge reading the entire series. Now I’m a sucker for a fairy tale retelling, so after hearing about The Kingpin of Camelot, the third […]

That Intimidating, But Must Read, Series You Love

3 January 2018 Jackie 0

#QOTD: When you first started reading Urban Fantasy (UF), what series did you absolutely love, but had to take a break from because it was just that intense or intimidating as a newbie UF reader? Have you since gone back to that series? Does it seem as intense or intimidating now that […]

Shannara Chronicles & Shadowhunters: Episode One

2 January 2018 Jackie 0

I’ve been going through my drafts folder, clearing out the ones that weren’t going to happen or polishing up and scheduling those that could happen, when I came across a couple reviews I had started. On the flight back from Coastal Magic 2016, I had queued up the first episodes […]

#NewAuthors18 Reading Challenge

1 January 2018 Jackie 1

Welcome back to the New Authors reading challenge! I’m hoping everyone is still enjoying this reading challenge as we head into our eighth year.
