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: 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…

GCLS Annual Conference: Why Pittsburgh?
The Golden Crown Literary Society’s Annual Conference is held in a different city each year – except for that 3 year period when we were in Orlando. (That whole “let’s go to the same city in consecutive years” thing won’t be repeated.) Since I’ve been a member, we’ve been to Orlando, Minneapolis, Dallas, Portland, New…

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
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: 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.…

A day of books, laughter, and fun
It was another long day. Yes, a long day. But it was a fun day, too. Books and Boots got started with some opening remarks and then we moved into the panels for the day. These were great line ups. The moderators and audience members asked questions of the panelists – and there was some…

Books and Boots: A Literary Event
Tonight’s NaBloPoMo post is going to be short. It is now 11:18pm Central time (as I’m writing this). I woke up around 5:20am Central time and have been going ever since. That included a 13 1/2 hour drive from Chicago to Dallas. I’m pooped. Why am I in Dallas? I’m here for a literary event.…

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…
