This week we're getting back in the swing of things by continuing on with Lynn Kurland's next book in her Nine Kingdoms series, Spellweaver, and boy howdy did it deliver! As I hinted in my last review of A Tapestry of Spells, Kurland has a way of interweaving her plots together so you can see how the events of her first trilogy and this trilogy interconnect but also differ. In this book, especially, there are greater parallels and crossovers, ones which I had hoped would occur since they were ...

WOMS: The Love Prescription
They never said marriage would be easy, but I also don't think when they warn you of the challenges you'll face as a new couple, those will include both a life-altering health crisis and global pandemic occurring all within the first year of said marriage.

Instead, I had to read ...
WOMS: Princess of the Sword
Well I can finally sit down and write out my review of Lynn Kurland's final installment of the first trilogy in her Nine Kingdoms series, Princess of the Sword. (So much for batch-writing and consistency. Maybe in an upcoming post I'll share the utter insanity that has been my life the past eight weeks, but anyway...onwards!) This series has been a delight, and this finale was no exception. I tend to be a second book person. It's the middle installments where the juicy backstories and ...
BOOK LAUNCH
The time has finally arrived: something I wrote is being published! As some of you may recall, I mentioned how I graduated from a little program where I obtained my certificate in written storytelling through the Story Center in partnership with Metropolitan Community College. What I hinted at, though, and can finally share in full details, is that as a graduate, they will be publishing my short story, which I was required to write as a part of my coursework, through their imprint [Woodneath ...
