#BookReview The Devil’s Lieutenant by Shervin Jamali #RBRT #TuesdayBookBlog

Title: The Devil’s Lieutenant Author: Shervin Jamali Category: Supernatural Thriller My Rating: 4 Star     My Review: I enjoyed this novella. Although it’s written using short, snappy sentences the flow works incredibly well and substantiates the distracted, grief-stricken pain of the main character, Michael. Lucifer is using Michael’s anguish to drive his own agenda… Continue reading #BookReview The Devil’s Lieutenant by Shervin Jamali #RBRT #TuesdayBookBlog

It was Stephen King who told us “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others. Read a lot and write a… Continue reading I write. I read. I review. #FridayReads #NonFiction #YA

#BookReview Cursed Love Blues by Kate Wickens #TuesdayBookBlog #RBRT

Title: Cursed Love Blues Author: Kate Wickens My Rating: 3.5 Stars My Review: Cursed Love Blues has it all; gods and goddesses, lots of sex, music, and even vampires! The author doesn’t hold back with her descriptive prose, and this novel is, therefore, far from a clean read. Ate is a disgraced goddess who is… Continue reading #BookReview Cursed Love Blues by Kate Wickens #TuesdayBookBlog #RBRT

#BookReview Gathering Frost by Kaitlyn Davis #YA #TuesdayBookBlog #Dystopian

Title: Gathering Frost Author: Kaitlyn Davis Rating: 4 Star My Review: Gathering Frost was a pleasant distraction from real life, exactly what I was searching for in a young adult fantasy book. Following an earthquake, New York City merges with a fairy tale realm when a castle and its magic splinters through into the real… Continue reading #BookReview Gathering Frost by Kaitlyn Davis #YA #TuesdayBookBlog #Dystopian

#TuesdayBookBlog Inspirations behind the Reading Group by @DellaGalton #GuestPost #Romance

I first discovered my next guest between the pages of Writers’ Forum magazine many years ago, and her sound advice has helped shape my writing ever since. As well as teaching me so much about the skill of penning a novel, short story, or article, I have also thoroughly enjoyed reading her fiction work. So,… Continue reading #TuesdayBookBlog Inspirations behind the Reading Group by @DellaGalton #GuestPost #Romance
