You would have thought the greedy bookworm in me will be satisfied with that last outing to the bookstore.
But no, I had no sooner found spaces on my overstuffed shelf for those new books than I start thinking about completing my Goddess Summoning series. Next thing I knew, I’m inside Amazon adding these to the […]

Besides its beauty and allure as one of the incomparably romantic places I’ve visited, Paris will always be remembered for introducing me to Jessica Inclan and her brilliant Paranormal Fantasy work, When You Believe.
I had gone into Shakespeare & Co intending only to be a gawking tourist and soak in the atmosphere. But my love […]

Went into Borders (it’s so near my office now the temptation to step in there every evening is almost unbearable!) last evening after knocking off, intending to check the shelves for Magic Study, Reason to Believe, and just maybe, the Goddess of Spring and the latest Madeline Hunter.
The bookstore’s having a hot sale and it’s […]

Make no mistake, P C Cast’s Divine By Mistake is more a Fantasy novel than Romance. But she has written it with such humour and verve that you’ll enjoy it hugely.
After you’ve made peace with the idea of having her heroine wed to a centaur … which I did after a couple of chapters. I […]

Confession time … I picked up Daisy’s Back in Town by Rachel Gibson thinking it was the sequel to Sex, Lies and Online Dating, and was hoping to read Clare Wingate’s story, judging from the excerpt at the end of Sex.
Right silly of me, I know. But this book didn’t turn out too bad after […]

First up, thanks, ladies for all the warm wishes and advice, despite all that jealously (ha!) at my extreme good fortune. What can I say except that God has blessed me richly with a generous employer? And I will always remember this trip and be grateful for this opportunity. And now, on with my Parisian […]

Only about 18 hours to go before I board the plane for Paris, and I’m a bundle of nerves. My initial excitement has given way to nervousness.
What if I get lost? What if I haven’t packed enough of warm clothing? What if? What if? I’ve got to the stage where I’m just surfing the web for […]

Caught the movies Charlotte’s Web after Boxing Day and Eragon on New Year’s Day with the kids, and enjoyed both movies very much.
Charlotte’s Web was poignant for me because of the beautiful message of friendship and selfless love of a little spider for a little pig who made the other farmyard dwellers see her beauty […]
