So Long Facebook (And Thanks for All the Fish)

Posted on March 26, 2021March 25, 2021 by admin

If you’re not a fan of Douglas Adams sci fi series, you might not get the joke at the end of the headline.  No worries. I’m sure you understood the first part. Starting this weekend, I will be taking an indefinite leave from Facebook. When and if I’ll return, I don’t know.  What I do know is…

Reading Roundup! (Feb/March)

Posted on March 16, 2021 by admin

Hullo all! I missed last month’s reading round-up, not because I wasn’t reading, but because most of the books I read were for research. Somehow I didn’t think you wanted to know what I thought of Greenwich Village Stories, Edie, and Greenwich Village: 400 Years of Beats and Bohemians, Radicals and Rogues. (Spoiler alert: All…

February Reading Roundup With the election, holidays and other drama seemingly in the past, I was finally back in the reading groove.  This month I managed four reads that weren’t research related.  Two of the books I recommend highly for everyone. The other two I enjoyed, but will appeal to select audiences only. Thinking, Fast and Slow…

Reunited With Her Blue-Eyed Billionaire is Out Today!

Posted on February 1, 2021 by admin

It’s release day for Reunited With Her Blue-Eyed Billionaire, my last Harlequin Romance for quite a while. (I’d say never, but you know – never say never.) Between you and me, this was a difficult book to write. Not because of the book itself, but because I wrote it shortly after Romance Writers of America…

Losing the Safety Net – Part Two

Posted on January 22, 2021 by admin

Confession time: A few weeks ago, when I discussed writing without the safety net of a publisher or agent, I naively believed that my stay in limbo land would be a short one. That I would sign with a new agent within a couple months and have someone to hold my hand while I pivoted…

Losing the Safety Net

Posted on January 22, 2021 by admin

I cut ties with a lot of things during 2020. RWA, my local writing chapter, my publisher and my agent are all in my rearview mirror. As a result, I find myself approaching 2021 like a bird with brand new wings*. Needless to say, I’m nervous as hell. It’s one thing to talk about cutting…

Resiliency

Posted on January 5, 2021January 22, 2021 by admin

I started reading poetry recently as a way of improving my creative language skills. There is a rhythm and lyricism to poems that I would like to transfer to my writing. What I’m finding is that a) poetry is damn hard and b) when done right, it manages to find the perfect words to reflect…

Reading Round Up for November

Posted on December 2, 2020 by admin

I didn’t do as much reading in November as I have in past months.  I’m not entirely sure why.  Reading fatigue maybe?  However, I did read a few titles that I thought I’d share. THE YELLOW WIFE by Sadeqa Johnson:  After reading too many World War II historicals to count, I thought a Civil War…

October Reading Roundup

Posted on November 1, 2020 by admin

I didn’t do as much reading last month as I wanted, largely because Captain Pete and I were on a bit of a Star Trek movie binge, but I did squeeze in a few titles. Most of these books are advanced reads. I highly recommend you mark your calendars for their release dates, because I…

Barb’s Book Recommendations for September 2020

Posted on September 23, 2020September 23, 2020 by admin

There are two big advantages to working part time in a bookstore.  One is being able to purchase new releases as soon they are published (and at a discount!).  The other is having access to a Netgalley Account.  This means I get to check out some terrific reads prior to their release. Since I can’t…
