Dear All Authors and readers alike,

     I believe and wish that we all support each other in making sure that we are buying and supporting an author just to give us a big break and better closing to the 2023.

     I will come back on here and purchase more books to support the idea, so that we can have better sales at the end of the year. How should we show that we are supportive? Show the books that we buy? I will do my best to make this an equal ideal that will…

Every year at this time, we’re bombarded by holiday-themed romance flicks on TV. Christmas and love affairs go together like cookies and hot chocolate, but some cable networks take it to the extreme. The most recent count is 116 new TV movies this year. With that many on deck, I question the originality factor. The Hallmark Channel began airing their lineup before Thanksgiving, followed by Lifetime, Ion and Netflix. I try to catch a few, but some of them threaten to push my blood sugar level…

The Killer's Stepsister by Caroline Taylor is a thrilling and emotional tale that keeps the reader's on the edge of the seat wanting to keep turning pages to know what happens next.

Perhaps I’ve been doing this too long, but I recall when people spoke to each other using complete words and sentences, either verbally or written. Remember that? Now, it’s all done in a digital shorthand called acronyms. Once upon a time, we also composed notes and letters using cursive writing. Do they still teach that in school?

An acronym is a pronounceable word formed mostly (but not always) from the initial letters of a descriptive name or title. Its origin is from the…

Yet another addition to the Arcadia's Children series by author Andrew R Williams, Samantha's Escape is a thrilling tale.

Samantha is captured along with Rob who she's in a relationship with. Akbar is an alien making contact with her, and explains things to her but is totally against the most important person in her life - Rob.

When time comes to choose what does Rob do and what does Samantha do? Who's Frank? Is Akbar really reliable or is he another pawn of The Great…

“The things you regret are the risks you don’t take.”

I wish I could claim credit for that bit of wisdom but the truth is, I heard it in the movie “Grumpy Old Men.” It was spoken by Ann-Margaret to Jack Lemmon about relationships, and not being afraid to offer your heart to someone.
