Who are the Nowhere Girls? They're every girl. But they start with just three: Grace, the preacher's daughter who unwittingly moved into the old house of a victim whose pain adorns the walls. Bold Rosina, whose heart has become hardened by all of the straight girls who …

Detective Pikachu: Episode 0—Eevee's Case by The Pokemon Company My rating: 5 of 5 stars Hubby grabbed the Kindle version of this book from the Nintendo Life website. Since it's a short story, I thought I'd check it out right away. Pikachu is a great detective. He l…

Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was intrigued by this novella since the moment I picked it up. I was hooked from the start, and it didn't disappoint. John Persons is a PI and gives off the noir detective vibes in spades. He's also a monster, …

Well, my intention was to take it easy because I was feeling a bit wonky earlier in the week... but of course I ended up doing a bunch of stuff. After being totally consumed by my own story, I got the chance to actually catch up on some reading. I finally finished reading FULL DAR…

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause My rating: 1 of 5 stars O.M.F.G. This book was such a disappointment. It's nothing like I thought it would be. In the worst way possible. I was expecting an interesting werewolf UF, and instead got this . I read the first hal…

As I mentioned last week , I'm once again in Revision Town. And after taking the weekend off, on Monday I grabbed my Paperwhite, scrappy papers and laptop to get stuck into the last bit of the novel. I actually reached The End on Tuesday afternoon, but then had to deal with a r…

After a week away from my current WIP, I got stuck into the next round of revision. This is what I like to call the read-thru. It's when I read the novel on my Paperwhite. Changing devices is a great way to see the story differently, and anything that doesn't work REALLY st…

Last week I finished the third draft of the book I'm currently revising. So the next step is to read the draft on my Paperwhite after taking a break from it. Only problem is that I started another Tweak/Add List last weekend. So, first thing on Monday morning I opened the doc and…
