Oz (as in, Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Book Version, not Film). And hangout with Ozma and the other Princesses of Oz, obviously.

What’s Percolating in Sam’s Brain?
What’s Coming Next?
That’s a question that’s been coming up a lot lately –both from myself and readers. With Harper and Pietr’s story coming to an end (at least, where they’re the main focus), it’s time for me to shift gears and start thinking about what the next main project is going to be.

"There’s a lot of cozy fantasy out there of which the writing is not great. That’s fine, you don’t go into those books expecting Nobel prize-worthy writing. If it’s *good enough* I can usually manage to look away and enjoy the ride. But there HAS to b"

A thank you to Netgalley, Carly Robyn, Blue Dog Press, and Dreamscape Media for the ALC. Over all, this book was fine. The premise of the book lover and the hockey star was cute and kind of fell into that "every girl" sort of slot where any female rea ...more |

“[D]on't ever apologise to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that's what they're there for. Use your library). Don't apologise to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend's copy. What's important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. And that people who like things, tell other people. The most important thing is that people read...”
