Thanks Katelyn. _______________ “There comes a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud is… Read the Rest »

Book Review of Prodigy, My Infamous Life

No Excuses…. After reading My Infamous Life, The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, “no excuses” is the phrase that came to my mind. If you pick up this book expecting tales of sex, drugs, drinking, guns, and the underbelly of rap culture, I promise you won’t be disappointed. This is a very explicit, hard-core book…. Read the Rest »

Who can eat just one?

You see those 100 calorie packs of cookies and chips all over the store and I admit I have often bought them myself. But you have to have the same willpower to eat just one 100 calorie pack as you do to eat just 1 full-fledged Oreo cookie. So when you eat an entire box… Read the Rest »

Spontaneity is the spice of life

It can be easy to fall into a daily routine which can become monotonous before you know it. However, it won’t change if you don’t make an effort. While making an effort can be a lot harder than letting life just happen think about what you are missing if you aren’t living life. Personally, I’ve… Read the Rest »

I hate to compromise

“Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.” Samuel Johnson I am very much a person who doesn’t like compromise, which I blame on the fact I’m an only child. I guess that means I can blame my parents. I don’t like to apologize or ever admit I’m wrong. I like to say it’s… Read the Rest »

I almost peed my pants

Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook was OMG, rip roaring, hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times that my significant other went into the other room to work (I think spitting wine out my nose was the last straw for him). While I also enjoyed Claire’s first book, Must Love Dogs which turned into… Read the Rest »

Indie Pub Promos

FREE Stilettos & Scoundrels

Available on Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Kobo, and soon on Audible.
Gently touching the handle of the front door was all it took to make it swing wide open. It was late, after midnight, and everyone in the house except Tom was asleep. As usual, Tom was in his study working late. Walking carefully and quietly through the foyer, the adrenaline began to kick in. The intruder confidently walked into Tom’s study. Tom was concentrating so hard on the papers in front of him that he was unaware of anything else. Raising his hand, the intruder hit a stack of books sitting on a side table, sending them crashing to the floor. Tom spun around with a look of shock on his face as he recognized the person swinging a sharp object toward him. Tom raised his hands to protect himself but he wasn’t quick enough. The spikey end of the stiletto heel punctured his neck instantly, sending a spray of blood over the papers on his desk. He tried to cry out, but all that sounded was a gurgling noise as his lungs filled with blood.

The intruder set the shoe down next to Tom and backed out of the room softly, closing the door to the study and hoping no one would come looking for Tom until morning.
