Review time! I read The Viking's Chosen by Quinn Loftis. It's about an English princess and a Viking who are destined to be together. It's a historical clean romance with a minor fantastical element.

I was drawn to it by the Viking topic, but it was far too romance-y for me. There really wasn't any Read more of this blog post »

EVER SINCE I RETIRED, mornings are the best part of my day. I always go for a long, quiet walk before sunrise. The only person I usually see is Mark, walking his dog. It's a great way to start my day. By the time I get home, my wife is up and we have breakfast together.

Last week, I had coffee with E

It’s done. I have renounced my American citizenship. It was an ordeal, in the penitentiary-like US Consulate in Ottawa, with foot-thick doors; you cannot bring in cellphones — or guns or fire starters, unfortunately, as I was going to bring both. Had to wait, then show all my documents, go through t

When you find a fantastic author who consistently delivers a great story, heart melting romance, heart stopping action, complex magic systems, and memorable characters, why bother branching out? I’ve jumped head first into another Ilona Andrews series, and I’m not apologizing LOL!

Yesterday morning, I hustled outside with Anna. It was almost 8 o’clock, and I needed to drop my younger daughter off at her before-school child-care program, and then get to work at the library. The morning sun blazed brightly, highlighting the springtime blue wildflowers that had popped up along t

Dear Friends,

I have been pouring my heart into this adventure and I can’t wait to share it with you! Green Ember fans will love it. It’s a noble-hearted story that isn’t trapped in time or trendy politics, but features classic virtue and moral imagination.

Trust me. Give Jack a chance!

Tonight’s poem, by Heidi Kasa, won first place in the most recent PoetrySuperHighway Annual Poetry Contest.
