A Wandering Eyre

And also in the news: Mob Rule Learning is reviewed over at ForeWord. These kinds of things make me do one of two things: make me think, “Hey, I wrote that!” or look behind me for that smart person being discussed; she sounds interesting. –Jane, is occasionally interesting

I am currently reading Everything I Know About Love I Learned From Romance Novels by Sarah Wendell. Actually, I am going to set this to post tomorrow and I might have devoured the book by then. If you love romance, you are a scoffer of the genre, or you just do not get it, you [...]

This past weekend, I drove 5 hours Saturday and 5 hours back home Sunday with two small children to go to the wedding of a very good friend. The kids were great and it was worth the hassle to see my friend so happy. It reminded me that so many things in life are about [...]

Last week, a very nice UPS man delivered a box filled with copies of Mob Rule Learning into my very eager hands. I am going to share my wealth of books with you, wonderful readers. This is a win-it-before-you-can-buy-it contest and you and I know free stuff is awesome. To win a signed paperback copy [...]

This is a mini book review for Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman. It is on sale if you preorder it now on Amazon. The book comes out October 4. Ever since I read When Christ and His Saints Slept, I have been a fan of Penman. British history has long been a favorite of mine [...]

It is only available in paperback as a preorder [...]

This year the list is small. Very, very small compared to last year which had enough for over a book a week. This year was filled with researching and writing a book of my own, leaving me little time for reading all the brain candy I love so well. You can tell when I finished [...]

Rakes and Radishes by Susanna Ives I originally wanted to read this book because of the title. I knew this book was either going to be good or good bad. While I love a good romance the ones that are good bad can be just as fun. Because it is from Carina Press, my bet [...]

Two interesting articles on vampires came across my sights today. The first one is an interview with Neil Gaiman (we aren’t worthy!). He talks about the evolution of the vampire motif and what it has meant to fiction during different parts of history. It is brilliant and lovely as only Neil Himself can be. The [...]
