    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: 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: “Just Three Words” by Melissa Brayden

    I’ve been pretty busy for the past year or so. My Board obligations with the Golden Crown Literary Society have kept me hopping.  Because of  this, my time for reading books and reviewing them has been cut pretty substantially. But, I am determined to get back on track and caught up! That said, I decided to…

    REVIEW: “Firework” by Melissa Brayden

    The drive between Chicago, IL and San Diego, CA is a long one. Quite a bit of that journey is spent in very wide-open spaces – plains, prairies, deserts. There’s not a lot to see, really – particularly if one has traveled that route multiple times. So, I’m really glad that I had some audio…

    Now that I have your attention…. If you have found your way to this blog post by doing a Google search that looks something like this – “[Author] [Book title] Free download” – well, let me tell you, friend, you have come to the wrong blog.

    REVIEW: “Kiss the Girl” by Melissa Brayden

    I spent twelve years of my adult life teaching at universities.  I taught Speech Communication and Performance of Literature.  One of the things I always told my students was that it wasn’t enough to do the minimum necessary to pass.  Because once they left college and got out into the working world, doing the minimum…

    REVIEW: “How Sweet It Is” by Melissa Brayden

    So, I bought a Kindle Fire HD.  It was an awesome deal.  Half off.  Free shipping.  I’d been wanting one for a while.  It’s not like I needed it.  But, I’m a sucker for new toys. I snatched it up.  It was a good thing, too…they sold out pretty quickly. I was in it for…

  • REVIEW: “Waiting in the Wings” by Melissa Brayden

    There’s something about me that most people don’t know.  It’s not a deep, dark secret, or anything…but, there’s just something that most people wouldn’t exactly expect from me. I have a theatre background.  Yes, I do.  I even have an MA degree in Theatre.  Acting, directing, lighting design, set design, stagecraft…I’ve done a little bit…
