Book Review: The Parasitic Mind by Dr. Gad Saad
āāāā George Orwell wrote: āIn times of deceit, telling the truth will become a revolutionary act.ā I feel like, as a society, we have been living in ātimes of deceitā for a long time. Somewhere along the way, objective truth became inconvenient, uncomfortable, and sadly uncommon. Dr. Saadās book sat on my bookshelf for about 2 years before I picked it up. I initially purchased it after hearingā¦

Don't Stop Writing

Elementary school book fairs were my idea of heaven at the time. My two favorite places in the school: the library and the reading pit ā an odd little offshoot from the hallway with a sunken floor, 3 walls madeā¦

2026
Photo by Ann H on Pexels.com Hello all! Happy New Year, and sorry for ghosting youš„ I realize we are nearly two months into 2026, but I still feel as though Iām recovering from last year. 2025 was a challenging year, to put it mildly. Maybe itās just me (although social media would indicate otherwise), but I really felt something significant change in 2025. Whatever it was had a pretty largeā¦

Book Review: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith
āāāā I decided to read this book after seeing it pop up in several book-related posts on FaceBook and BookTok. If youāve been following my reviews for a while, you know I gravitate toward the Fantasy genre, often, so this book piqued my interest. I knew nothing about the book other than it was a dark fantasy romance (I have gone down a dark romance of all genres rabbit hole recently, andā¦

Oh hey, itās been a minute.
Spring is here and Magic in Her Blood (MIHB) has been unleashed into the world for a little over two months now, I couldnāt be happier with its reception so far. For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, I am forever grateful that you have stayed with me on this amazing journey. Your support, however small you feel it may have been, is the reason I was able to accomplish thisā¦

Is it too late for Happy New Year?!
Is February 12th too late to say Happy New Year?! Even so, Happy New Year! I hope January wasnāt too harsh for you and look on the bright side, February is nearly half over. I appreciate the grace youāve extended me by not being too upset that Iāve taken so long between posts. This time of year gives me the winter saddies, which inevitably affects my motivationā¦ BUT! I have been reading aā¦

Exciting Announcement!!!
Writing a novel is an enormous undertaking. I couldnāt have imagined how much I would learn in the process. Sure, I learned about the more technical aspects of writing and the ins and outs of the daunting beast that is the publishing industry. More importantly, I learned about myself. Writing became a therapeutic outlet that I didnāt know I needed for my mental health, and it challenged me toā¦

Book Review: Scotland by History Brought Alive
āāāā History Brought Alive does a great job of summarizing Scotlandās history with this book. It was interesting to see how the nation grew and developed over the past two millennia. As someone with Scottish heritage, I appreciate the time and effort of History Brought Alive and their team in researching, compiling the facts, and presenting them to the world. What I found disappointing was theā¦

What I've Been Reading...
Photo taken by ATL Doyle 26 October 2024 Crisp nights, colorful leaves, and magical sunsets! I love Autumn. Itās my favorite time of year. Perfect for snuggling up and reading! I said I would post about the dark romance books Iāve been reading lately. Below are some snack-sized reviews that you will hopefully find intriguing enough for you to read the books yourself (if thatās your cup of teaā¦

LONGLISTED!
I am thrilled to report Magic in Her Blood has made it through another round of judging in the Page Turner Awards (eek!). Being longlisted alongside such talented authors is humbling and I am truly honored. While I am still wading through the writerās block swamp Iāve been stuck in for several months, I have used the lull to read as much as possible. Iāve been on a bit of a dark romance kick. Iā¦

Hello! It's Been A While
There are many aspects of being an author that I wasnāt aware of until I plunged into this world. I have learned a lifetimeās worth of knowledge and met some exceptional people in the process. I knew there would be a learning curve, and I am so grateful to all the industry professionals, fellow authors, and writing enthusiasts who invest in the writing community with resources, courses, andā¦

Book Review: House of Bane and Blood by Alexis L. Menard
āāāāā Alexis Menard knocked this book out of the park. I loved it. House of Bane and Blood had many of my favorite tropesāenemies to lovers, and magic in a real-world setting. āTwo households, both alike in dignityā (thank you, Mr. Shakespeare). Set in the age of steam, Camilla is the heiress of her familyās company, but the company has amassed substantial debt. Her brothers decide to set up anā¦

Book Review: Fairy by Morgan Daimler
āāāāā As always, Daimler has given those interested in Irish myths and folklore a solid and thoroughly researched work, particularly that which refers to the Other crowd. Fairy not only lays out the popular ideas surrounding the fair folk but also draws from authentic Irish lore found in the limited textual records and writings that Daimler has spent a great deal of time translating andā¦
Book Review: The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe
āāāā This series has been a trip. Despite it violently thrusting me out of my comfort zone (not entirely a bad thing) and exposing me to reverse harem dark romance (not my thing, Iāve discovered), I have grown to adore St. Croweās version of Neverland, the Peter Pan story, and characters that are dark and twisty, and pretty effed up. The Fae Princes is book four in the Vicious Lost Boys seriesā¦
Book Review: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe
āāāā After the third book in this series, I am no longer clutching my pearls, but I can confidently say that I prefer a committed, two-person romantic relationship. It doesnāt matter how dark of a romance, as long as itās between two consenting adultsā¦not like 5 consenting adults. I guess that makes me old-fashioned or something but more than one person to focus on overstimulates me (take orā¦

Book Review: The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe
āāāā Shadows and pirates and fairies ā Oh My! The Dark One is the second book in Nikki St. Croweās Vicious Lost Boys series and I am so glad I didnāt let book one (The Never King) turn me away from it. This book, while still full of debauchery, has an enemies-to-lovers vibe that I canāt get enough of. I think there is something so primal about it. Is the undeniable pull of opposites toward eachā¦
