Biography:
I was born, I went to school, I got married and I had kids. Now I ride horses, cook, pretend to be an artist, write a couple blogs, teach my children's school and read lots and lots of books. While I have a preference for fantasy action and historical fiction, I pretty much read anything that is suggested by friends and family. I've only ever thrown one book, in disgust after struggling to finish it.... so court room dramas are probably right out for me :) I look forward to reading and reviewing books and hopefully will be setting up a BookTube channel in the near future!

Shifters
Interested.... yet conflicted.
When I initially started reading this book I thought it was a typical light YA. The opening was a bit dark, but soon it was into the lighter hearted, bantering dialog that I was expecting. The shifting narrator initially seemed like an interesting story telling device but somewhere around the ...
The Maenad of Manhattan
Oh my!
Not my normal genre but a light and easy read. I could see this as a good beach read. Exploring the modern foibles of nearly forgotten gods and their... escapades. Aphrodite finds satisfaction after a century or mere human lovers while helping Loki solve supernatural crimes for more than just ...
