REVIEW: Beowulf for Cretins: A Love Story by Ann McMan
If you don’t know Ann McMan, you’re really missing out, my friends. She’s a rather lovely woman. Intelligent. Kind. Funny. An all-around great broad. (And I use the term “broad” in the very best sense of the word.) If you are an avid fan of lesbian literature – like I am – then you’ve seen…

REVIEW: Compass Rose by Anna Burke
Three years ago this month, a good friend passed away. Sandra Moran was an exceptionally gifted writer. She really wanted to raise the bar for lesbian-themed writing. With the permission and assistance of her widow, I helped start the Sandra Moran Scholarship for the Golden Crown Literary Society’s Writing Academy. The scholarship covers full tuition…

REVIEW: The Shape of You by Georgia Beers
*I was provided a free download of The Shape of You by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Bold Strokes Books for affording me this opportunity.* It’s been a long time since I’ve written a review. Heck, it’s been a long time since I’ve read something new. I’ve been spending the last many…

REVIEW: “Pretty Woman The Musical”
About three years ago, I was rather excited about seeing the musical production of “First Wives Club” in Chicago. It was to be it’s premiere before heading to Broadway. Seeing as I loved the movie, I figured this would be awesome. It wasn’t. It didn’t go to Broadway. I was disappointed. So when I heard…

Review: “Edge of Glory” by Rachel Spangler
Just this last weekend, I did something I haven’t done in a really long time. I read four books in two days. I just pulled out the Kindle, made myself comfy, and started reading. It was kind of spectacular. One of the books I chose to read is Edge of Glory by Rachel Spangler (Bywater Books). I’ve…

REVIEW: You’re a wonder, Wonder Woman
There’s so much to love about this movie. I can’t tell you about everything I love about it because I won’t spoil it for you. At first glance, it seems that the trailers have included all of the good stuff from the movie. But, it’s just not so. What’s in the trailers is there to…

REVIEW: First Position by Melissa Brayden
Today was a day that I most certainly did not want to watch anything on TV. I didn’t even want to be on a channel adjacent to one that might be showing the inauguration. So, I decided to protest in my own way. I turned off the TV, cuddled up with a blanket and my cats,…

REVIEW: “Hoosier Daddy” by Ann McMan and Salem West (repost)
I read this book 3 years ago. I was fortunate enough to get a pre-publication look at it. Boy-oh-boy! Was I glad that Salem West asked me – reviewer to reviewer – to take a look at it and give my honest opinion of it. My honest opinion? It’s a FANTASTIC novel! I’ve re-read it…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 11: “Fun Home” Review
Attending the national touring production of Fun Home was, to put it bluntly, an emotional kick in the stomach. It had already been an emotional week, full of highs and lows, and this was one more thing to toss onto the ever-growing pile of feelings. It is a beautiful show that was beautifully performed. The cast was…
