Happy Mother’s Day, Mom
Some days I want my mommy. Do you ever have those days where you just want to be a kid again and let your mom handle everything? Those days are fewer now that my children are grown but I still feel like I’ve not graduated to the adult class yet. When someone looks for an adult to answer those difficult questions or handle the tough … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day, Mom
The Accidental Feminist
I’m not sure how I ended up writing a feminist novel. My main character, Rae Lynne Grimes, is a woman who can drive and repair anything from trucks to boats. She is a tough girl with a bad attitude. She is a fighter and a survivor. On the surface, she is as different from me as chrome is to pink. While writing Chrome Pink, I … Continue reading The Accidental Feminist
The Golden Hour
I just finished The Golden Hour, the fourth in the Nora Tierney series by M.K. Graff. I have enjoyed the progression of the main characters: Nora Tierney and Detective Inspector Declan Barnes, from antagonists to partners. The Golden Hour is a little darker than the first books in this series. It deals with the very real threat of biological terrorism but the true theme of … Continue reading The Golden Hour
When I tell you “You are beautiful”
When I tell you “You are beautiful” It is not the brilliance of your smile Or the color of your eyes It is not your physique Or your sexy new style It is the substance inside that makes you so Your strength, your courage, your wisdom. The most beautiful people are not the bodies of perfection Plastered on billboards and on covers of magazines It … Continue reading When I tell you “You are beautiful”
Happy Woman’s Day
International Woman’s Day Are you a feminist? No, I never considered myself a feminist. I am old fashioned, I believe in putting home and family first. I write romance, always dreaming of happily ever after. How could I be a feminist? I come from a long line of big shoulder broads, women who did what needed doing to survive, to make sure their families thrived. … Continue reading Happy Woman’s Day
Borrowed Things By: Doris Schneider
Reading Borrowed Things was like finding a new friend and getting to know her. Anne Gray, the main character, is stronger than she realizes. She is a woman of strong passions, a sense of humor, courage, honor and grit. She is a true southern lady, with a preference for black pearls who is not afraid to get a little dirt on her hands. Anne has … Continue reading Borrowed Things By: Doris Schneider
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
This was the most difficult of the Divergent Trilogy to read, it was slower paced, intense and there was a lot of ugliness. While the battle continues, this new war is more about ignorance and prejudices. The hardest part for me was the lack of faith between Tobias and Tris, while this mirrors how real relationships fluctuate and grow it was difficult to see after … Continue reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth
Insurgent by: Veronica Roth
A little slower paced, this second book in the Divergent trio is just as well written. The main character Tris is suffering from grief and guilt, while it is believable it is a bit depressing. Thankfully Roth brings us out of the melancholy into another fray. It is difficult to read the perils and pitfalls of being a teen in a war-torn community but the … Continue reading Insurgent by: Veronica Roth
