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.…

Challenge Complete
Well, we’ve reached November 30th and this will be my 30th blog post for the month. That means I have completed the National Blog Posting Month challenge. Yay! I was able to get through a number of book reviews, which was a goal of mine. I still have some left on my list, but I…

Favorite Performances from Musicals
There’s a meme going round Facebook right now that challenges people to post images of movies that have impacted them in some way – one movie per day for 10 days. Just the image. No explanation. I was tagged to do the challenge today, so I posted my first image. As long as I remember to…

Fading history
I rarely watch the local news. I stick to national cable news channels and reading from selected sources on the internet. But, tonight, I decided to turn on the NBC news. I don’t know what prompted me to do so – I was in the middle of a new Hallmark Christmas movie. (And people who…

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
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.)…

‘Tis the Season….Now
Anyone who knows me is aware that I have a ban on Christmas music until Thanksgiving is over. I’ll watch Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies all year long, if given the opportunity. So, those channels are immediately put on my “favorites” list once their seasons start – usually just before Halloween. But, when it comes…
