Play Nice

It is late on a Friday night and I am living the dream; writing in my undies and enjoying an adult beverage.   Heaven right? Okay, maybe not for you, but this fourth week of school has been pretty rough.  The kids are finally getting into their routines, relationships between teachers and students are being squared …

“I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!”

The Lady is a Vamp….

Review of Lady Dorn by Sean Hayden Admittedly, I am a newbie to the Steampunk genre, but this novel blew me away. It isn't pretentious as some of the genre have been reported to be.  In fact, it contained all the things that make a novel compelling; excellent character development, vivid imagery and twisty-turny plot …

Missing Something….

Yep, no Friday book review.  I fell short of my goal. Normally, I would be kicking myself  and re-examining the last week so I could do better the next go round.  With this failure however, I realize I set myself up with a task that was unrealistic. Yesterday, when I would have been finalizing the …

Heroes and Villians….

Review of The Hero Always Wins by Robert Eaton Never judge a book by its cover or by a really quick glance; initially the cover of Hero Always Wins reminded me of a romance novel, which is why it languished so long on the reading list.  Oh, how wrong I was. It was the perfect …
