    It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I have been busy with various projects and responsibilities, so I didn’t have much time to read and review. However, that has changed. I am back to reading and reviewing. AND I am expanding. I have decided to branch out to YouTube and Patreon. I have found that it…

  • REVIEW: “Moonlight Avenue” by Gerri Hill

    REVIEW: “Moonlight Avenue” by Gerri Hill

    Whew! It has been nearly 11 months since I’ve written a review. Gotta say…that’s a long time. And it isn’t because I haven’t been reading. No, no. I have been reading. I’ve just been going back to some of my old, comfort books. Recently, however, I have fallen into some of the newer 2019 releases.…

  • REVIEW: Thorn by Anna Burke

    REVIEW: Thorn by Anna Burke

    After reading and reviewing Anna Burke’s debut novel, Compass Rose, I was really excited to see what she had up her sleeve for her sophomore offering. I knew it was too soon for a sequel to Compass Rose – though I really can’t wait for that sequel – and I was aware that she had a few…

    REVIEW: 2° by Bev Prescott

    It’s been four years since Bev Prescott has published a book. That book was Blowback and it was pretty amazing. Needless to say, I’ve been anxiously waiting for Prescott’s next offering. We’d been hearing about it for a while. Prescott teased us as we waited – updates, excerpts, cover reveals, etc. It was maddening, I say! Maddening!…

  • REVIEW: A Proper Cuppa Tea by KG MacGregor

    REVIEW: A Proper Cuppa Tea by KG MacGregor

    I was introduced to KG MacGregor’s writing back in the heyday of the Xenaverse. Her fan fiction was/is some of the best out there. Luckily for all of us, she worked on those stories, expanded them, fixed them up, and got them published. And now, we have MacGregor’s 25th published novel. She is the embodiment…

  • REVIEW: My Lady Lipstick by Karin Kallmaker

    REVIEW: My Lady Lipstick by Karin Kallmaker

    Karin Kallmaker has often been called “The Queen of Lesbian Romance.” Of her twenty-eight published novels, I’ve read twenty of them. So, I have a pretty solid basis for saying the title is well deserved. (Three of those books are on my “comfort” pile – I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read them.)…

  • REVIEW: Love All by Rachel Spangler

    REVIEW: Love All by Rachel Spangler

    Facebook informed me that today is my “Friendversary” with Rachel Spangler. We have been connected on Facebook for 10 years. Since I’ve been on Facebook for 10 years and a few weeks, this makes Rachel one of my first contacts on the social media platform. I’m not sure what made us connect. I can’t remember…

  • REVIEW: “Miss Saigon”

    REVIEW: “Miss Saigon”

    For many years, I have been a fan of Miss Saigon. However, tonight is the first night I’ve had a chance to see it. When I say I’ve been a fan, I mean that I’ve listened to the Original Cast Recording (with Lea Salonga) since it was first released. I was never available when the tour…

  • REVIEW: Seven Shores Romance Series by Melissa Brayden

    REVIEW: Seven Shores Romance Series by Melissa Brayden

    I usually will write reviews one book at a time. After all, that’s how we read books most of the time, right? Oh, sure. There are folks out there who will have two or three books going at once. But, often those books are completely unrelated. A biography while commuting on the train or bus.…

  • REVIEW: “Hello, Dolly!”

    REVIEW: “Hello, Dolly!”

    There are two reasons I saw Hello, Dolly! during its Chicago run. The least important of those two is that I’d never seen it on stage before. More importantly, however….BETTY BUCKLEY!! That’s right. Betty Friggin’ Buckley! You see, I’m kind of obsessed with Betty Buckley. It started when I was a kid watching Eight is Enough. Honestly, she…
