My Book Is Back!
A few people may get lucky in the writing world. For most of us who look successful, good luck and bad luck whirl around in a sort of tango. In 2021, a small press called Lost Fox Publishing published my short story collection, Dream Signs. They were a nice team and presented the book with…

Plus a meal fit for a phoenix I was given an ARC of The Phoenix Keeper, and here’s my honest review, plus some recipes the characters might like. I loved this book. It was the perfect thing to read while recovering from illness, and the anxiety rep hit home. I was swept away into a world…

Book Review: Centauri’s Shadow by Ross Garner

It’s not every day that someone at work shows up with a thrilling space adventure, so I jumped at the chance to review it.

Book Review: Agony’s Lodestone by Laura Keating
Laura Keating, a fellow student from the University of New Brunswick’s Renaissance College program, is both a lovely person and a stellar writer.
