Tackling Tough Topics with Tact ~ Like a Ship on the Sea Launch Tour & Giveaway
Today’s topic is one close to my heart … and one I kind of talked about in Monday’s post (okay, I totally RAMBLED about it in last Monday’s post), but this time will be less, “My heart behind it!” and more, “Here’s how to do it, in my opinion.” With the caveat that I am […]
Let’s Talk About The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy {After Our Castle Launch Tour}

One Good Day Oughta Do Me Some Good
It’s been a challenging couple weeks. I won’t lie, despite the fact that my mother (hi mom!!!

Why Authors Shouldn’t Mention Their Negative Reviews
I know people have discussed this before. However, this is such a big pet peeve with me that I want to talk about it—and it should be a big pet peeve with anyone who has ever read, written, bought, or sold a book. Reviews. Reviews are something authors want to have and readers can be […]
