Book of Night by Holly Black 5 out of 5 stars I was intrigued by this book because it is written by a popular young adult fantasy writer and is her first adult novel. Not to mention, it’s very interesting take on shadows. If you’re tired of the usual vampire/werewolf urban fiction stuff this book […]
Can I just say, it is so incredibly difficult for me to choose what poems to post! Part of me scours my writing looking for a theme, striving for perfection. The other part of me thinks “Oh hell, be messy like life and just get your words out there!” So, here I am being messy […]
Britt Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman 4 out of 5 stars I have to give it to Fredrik Backman. He really has a way of creating a cooky character and making them likeable and also grow. I got hooked on his books after reading “A Man Called Ove.” I’ve also read “Anxious People.” I […]

It comes from the call of a particular bird they heard, the taste of a new dish, a street name, a co-worker’s personality, the list is endless. The smallest details can spark the greatest ideas. We also get inspiration from the words we consume. You […]
The air around me hummed with the caffeine-fueled energy of humans starting their daily routine. My nostrils were flooded with the scent of freshly ground coffee, pastries, bacon and. . . her. I opened my eyes just as she paused at my table. “Good morning, Cedric! What are we drawing today?” she questioned. Her face […]
All of my life I’ve been hooked on words. It began with reading. I devoured books. I was the girl that read under her desk at school instead of listening to the teacher. I was the girl that got grounded from reading. I’m drawn to stories in all their forms: movies, tv shows, song lyrics, […]
