My first read from Sharon Hinck will not be my last. This fantastical reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph is storytelling at its best. Dream of Kings pulls you into a vivid world of betrayal, political intrigue, and struggles of faith with characters that spring up from the page. As the dream teller, Jolan,… Continue reading Dream of Kings by Sharon Hinck
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you likely saw my live updates during my trip to Atlantic City for Realm Makers. In the moment, I couldn't reflect much. It was a busy time! Non-stop in a lot of ways. I came back home completely exhausted and had to head back to work, so… Continue reading My First Writers Conference: Realm Makers 2022
Earlier this year I read Oathbound, and Victoria McCombs immediately got added to my "read more books by this author" list! I am patiently(?) waiting for book two of The Royal Rose Chronicles, but McCombs has more in store for her readers! She was gracious enough to answer a few questions for us. 1) What… Continue reading Victoria McCombs: Author Q&A
Move over Pirates of the Caribbean! I think I have a new favorite pirate tale! Victoria McCombs's Oathbound is the first book in her new series The Royal Rose Chronicles, and it is an excellent start! I was drawn in from the very beginning by the main characters, Emme and Arn, a girl who wants nothing to… Continue reading Oathbound by Victoria McCombs
This is not Walt Disney’s Peter Pan. I loved Disney’s Peter Pan. Even in that version, Peter is shown as selfish and moody, but Kara Swanson’s Heirs of Neverland duology focuses on just how much damage those aspects of Peter’s personality can cause. The dangers of never growing up, not just physically, but emotionally and… Continue reading Heirs of Neverland by Kara Swanson
I normally review books in a series one-by-one. Even if they're all published, that's the norm for me. Not so with this series. Why? It's AMAZING! I didn't want to take the time to try to sort through what I thought about it. I just wanted to keep reading! It has been quite a while… Continue reading The Weaver Trilogy by Lindsay A. Franklin

It’s exclusively on Instagram for my Insta followers. But there’s a twist… The winner gets to choose the book they want from some of the… Continue reading Instagram Celebration Giveaway
Fantasy novels are one of my top three favorite genres. I love getting lost in a completely different world. Brandon Sanderson's Elantris is one of the best I've ever read. The fact that this was a debut novel blows my mind. The story, the characters, every little detail seems to be woven in with a… Continue reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
Thomas Hunter isn't sure which is more real, the virus that will kill practically every person on the planet in less than two weeks, or the Horde that threatens the existence of his people. The fate of two worlds rests in Thomas's hands, and they are somehow connected. More than Thomas could have ever imagined.… Continue reading White by Ted Dekker

The evidence of a link between these worlds grows, and Thomas must stay alive to change history, or both… Continue reading Red by Ted Dekker
When Thomas Hunter falls asleep in this world, he awakes in another. It's a world where what we know as the spiritual is physically present. He lives there until he falls asleep, then he reawakens in this world. As he goes back and forth, he loses sight of what's real. Is it this world or… Continue reading Black by Ted Dekker
Finding my writing groove has been hard. I'm what's known as a pantser. I write by the seat of my pants. No outline. That's how I've always done it, and enjoy doing it. The thing is that I was writing for me and a few friends; little stories, usually around 20,000 words, sometimes much shorter.… Continue reading Finding the Groove
