Hard at work on my next project, entitled Road Rage. Well, not necessarily hard at work, at least not this week. It is Thanksgiving, after all. Gotta make pies!

Stay tuned for more information! No guarantees, but I’m hoping to get it published sometime next year. Thank you, everyone, for your support!

One night, Timothy Carrier walks into a bar and sits down. A stranger sits down next to him, offers him an envelope full of cash and the photo of a woman, and says these words, “Ten thousand now. You get the rest when she’s gone.” The man leaves, and a few moments later, another man comes in, sits down next to him at the bar, and asks for the envelope and the photo of his next target. Tim quickly realizes that he has been mistaken for someone else and that a woman’s life is in danger. Will he be able to track her down before the assassin comes to call? Or is he already too late?

This book was amazing. Dean Koontz has a talent for writing good characters you can’t help falling in love with and evil characters that terrify you to your core. And I was really rooting for Tim and Linda to get together in the end, if they can only get past the fact that a crazed psychopath wants to murder them.

For those of you who don’t know, the man in the picture is my husband. And he is a good guy. A great guy, in fact.

Cole has moved to L.A. to be with Isabel and to try to move on with his life. But the wolf still lies within him, fighting to break free. Will Cole continue to give the wolf free rein, or will he move beyond the wolf and seek a new life with Isabel?

I have read A LOT of Maggie Stiefvater novels, such as the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, the Raven Cycle trilogy, and The Scorpio Races. This book is, by far, my least favorite. I couldn’t get behind the relationship between Cole and Isabel; they treated each other like crap. I don’t think they were good together at all. It was a very destructive relationship. Furthermore, Cole is a very cocky, annoying character. I noticed his cockiness in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, but since he wasn’t a main character, it wasn’t such a big deal. But, in this book, where there were only two characters’ voices, it was much more annoyingly prevalent. I would recommend reading the first three books in the Wolves of Mercy Falls franchise instead. The relationship between Sam and Grace is one I can get behind much more easily.

Witches and vampires have been mortal enemies for centuries. But, when Diana Bishop, a scholar who has descended from witches, falls in love with Matthew Clairmont, a vampire geneticist, will their love be enough to unite the two worlds? And does a mysterious manuscript hold the key to Diana’s past and an uncertain future?

I loved this book; I could barely put it down. I would highly recommend it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

Sam and Grace are in love. But the tables have turned; Sam has now been “cured,” and Grace is the wolf. And it is the worst time to be a wolf. The hunt is on, humans have become their greatest threat, and the wolves must fend for themselves. Will Sam and Grace be able to band together to save their entire pack? Or will help come too late to save anybody?

This is the third installment in the series; originally, the author meant for it to be a trilogy, but there is one more book in the series that I will be reading at some point. This is the second time I’ve read this series, and it’s still one of my favorites. I was sharing it with a friend and decided to read it with her this time. It definitely did not disappoint! I would highly recommend this series; a little bonus feature: the print is the same color as the cover. The first book in the series was blue, the second was green, and this one is red. Just a little added fun!

Grace and Sam have a love story for the ages. But what happens when they stumble across a way to prevent Sam from turning into a werewolf just as Grace’s body is going through some changes of her own?

This is the second book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls series, and it is no less riveting than the first. I would highly recommend it. And the fact that the print color in each book reflects the book cover color is quite a fun bonus!

Lauren lives in a closed-off community, a community from which she cannot escape. But, when she finally finds a way to leave, will the outside world be everything she hoped for? Or will she start wishing she’d never stepped outside those walls?

When I first tried to read this novel, about a year ago, I just could not get through it. But this summer, my daughter started reading it, and she loved it so much that I decided to give it another try. This time, something clicked inside me, and I found myself thoroughly enjoying it. I’m looking forward to the next, actually the last, book in the series, Parable of the Talents. This series was supposed to be a trilogy, but unfortunately, Butler passed away in 2006 before she was able to complete the series. I would highly recommend this book!

Aaron has the perfect life: a girlfriend who loves him and friends to hang out with. Then he meets Thomas and realizes there could be even more. But, when he puts his heart and soul on the line and gets rejected, will he decide to do whatever it takes to forget it ever happened? And will he lose his true self in the process?

This is one of my daughter’s recommendations, and I loved it. It had so many twists and turns that left me having to pick my jaw up off the floor. I couldn’t stop turning the page. I would highly recommend it.

Shizuka Satomi has made a deal with the devil and now owes him seven souls. She is journeying across the planet in search of violin prodigies whom she can train for this eventual purpose. But, when she finally manages to find a violinist worthy of the deal, will she actually go through with it? Or will she renege on the deal to save the student who’s become like a daughter to her?

I loved this book! It has everything you could ever want in a book. Deals with the devil, a trans violin prodigy, intergalactic donuts. It is the perfect LGBTQ sci-fi extravaganza. I would highly recommend it.
