Rose Among Thornes

What Happens When Injustice Results in Something Beautiful?

I fell in love with Terrie Todd's writing in 2020 when I found Bleak Landing somewhere and listened to every word, unable to tear myself away.  I quickly went from that book to the next, and to the next.  So when Rose Among Thornes was announced, I knew I'd be reading it the moment came out. I Continue Reading

The Real Question? Is This Last Book as Good as the Rest?

Back in 2019, I read the first book of the Tree of Life series by Olivia Newport, The Inn at Hidden Run. While I didn't dislike the entire book, it wasn't my favorite for reasons my review states pretty clearly, but I saw something in that book.  I knew, deep down I knew that I'd love the Continue Reading

What Happened to the Little Mermaid?

It was just supposed to be an auction. You know, you go, you bid, you spend way too much money on something you don't know for sure you want, you go home, you have buyer's remorse for a few days, and then it hits you. It's yours. A beautiful feeling when you really wanted it.  And I did.  I Continue Reading

A Surprisingly Delightful Book Perfect for Teaching Children about Food

When I saw  Eat God's Food, I was interested but cautious. It felt like "Eating God's Way" and anytime I see stuff like that, I end up not liking it.

Sometimes, I fall in love with a character in my b Sometimes, I fall in love with a character in my books. Someone like Lewis in The Lights of New Cheltenham or Rory in Not a Word. But... in Twice Sold Tales, I fell in love with a cast of characters.  Harper the store owner, Noah the single-dad just learning how to be one, Bennie, the adorable ballet-loving little boy... and Mrs. Klair. Oh, how I loved Mrs. Klair.
I also love the town of Red Wing, Minnesota.  I infused as much of it as I could into the book--places to eat and explore, people I love dearly (family!), and the feel of a small town inside a modest city along Lake Pepin (of Laura Ingalls fame). I also learned that there is actually a lake monster there!  Pepi!  You wont want to miss him!

What makes an office manager go "rogue" and get al What makes an office manager go "rogue" and get all "agent-ified?" Danger to their best agent's girlfriend, that's what. She doens't know what she's doing (the girlfriend knows more!), and she's terrified they're one blink away from certain death, but if sheer force of will can keep Erika alive, well... they've got a fighting chance.
Book 5 of the Agency file is available FREE, chapter by chapter on YouTube AND... after 2/28/25 also available in one full-length video.  Listen in individual chapters to keep easy track of where you are or in one long chunk so you don't have to keep moving to the next. Whichever works best for you!
