Traveling Internationally with a Maine Coon: Best Products & Services
We are back from spending a month in France.

It’s been some time since I did a book influencer post. Today, I am going to share a technique that helps boost a book onto the bestseller list. All it takes is one post.

Reviewers review books and post their reviews on various sites. Influencers review…

Book Review: Temple of Swoon
For fans of Jo Segura’s “Raiders of the Lost Heart” comes her next romance, a spinoff standalone called “Temple of Swoon.” Segura’s sophmoric novel returns to the Indiana Jones inspired world of strong female archeologists working hard to prove themselves in a field ruled by men.

Book Review: We Love the Nightlife
Interview With the Vampire is buzzing everywhere right now. Between the TV series to the thirty-year anniversary of the movie, it makes sense that a book in the spirit of everything we love about Louis and Lestat would surface.

The Most Anticipated Horror Book of the Summer: Horror Movie
It is rare that I come across a book that surpasses all others. A diamond in the rough, so to speak. Of the hundreds of books I peruse each year, I may come across one, maybe two books, each year that sit with me long after I’ve turned that last page. These are the books I take my time with. I don’t rush through them over the course of one or two days. I take over a month to read that book. It’s…

For those who do not know what an ARC is, it is an acronym for Advanced Reader Copy, or galley. These books are gifted…

Are you new to perimenopause or menopause? Let's talk about it. Here's what I'm doing that works for me as I venture into menopause.
For women growing older, we learn quickly that as our bodies change after our child-bearing years, the health care industry is no longer interested in helping us. They can’t explain what is going on with our bodies. They tell us to go plant-based, exercise more, and drink more water. They make very little to no recommendations as our hormonal levels plummet, and we start to feel the side effects…
