Writing My Life’s Purpose
Animals have always played an important role in my life. Growing up, I felt as if my pets understood me far better than any people. Animals were my safe harbor in a very turbulent upbringing, and even before I realized I was neurodivergent and what that entailed, my connection with animals help me to

Why I write a lot of 99 cent and free ebooks
I hate the term "loss leader" because to me, telling a story and getting it out to the reading public is never a loss. When marketing people use the term "loss leader" it reminds me of just how much books have been widgetized over the last decade or more, and how many people in the publishing ecosys

Equestrian Academy Books and Rich Girls
I'm old enough to have read the Saddle Club books when they first came out. The stories of Steve, Carol, and Lisa seemed like the kind of fun adventures I'd love to have at a barn with friends...if I had a barn and friends. But I lived vicariously through them, and though I outgrew the books (

The best way I can describe this read for me is nostalgic.

My personal love story started in the 8th grade, when I was fourteen and he was thirteen. That nerdy boy is now my husband, and we’ve been together 15 years now.

This book is told in two timelines, and the “then” timeline that told the story of Elliot and Macy meeting at about the same age and falling in love was so familiar to me, and brought back so many memories. I had so much affection for these flashbacks.

Perhaps that’s what really made me love this book. I do have my critiques, one that it’s a bit long and two that the end is a bit soapy, but overall I really enjoyed it. This story has many truly heartwarming moments, but it also explores some genuine pain and heartbreak.
