2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 7
So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 6
Ugh I hate this new WordPress format on my screen. Presumably you dear readers won’t notice a difference but I’m struggling to write this in their new set-up! Anywho, below is my short story advent calendar video for December 6. Smokey makes an appearance, and I try to focus on what I’m saying while making…
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 4 and 5
Whoa, where does the time go? Turns out I didn’t get my tooth pulled today, but my excuse for not posting yesterday is still legit, I was indeed filming a few television segments! More on that later, but in the meantime, enjoy these videos, where the last one includes my kid hacking in the background……

Today’s chocolate is delicious…short story, not so much.
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 2
We’re onto day #2! And I know i’m posting this super late today, but Momma’s been busy :)
2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 1
Welcome to day 1 of my short story advent calendar unveiling! Like last year, I’ll be opening up one new short story each day from my Hingston and Olsen advent calendar PLUS opening up my Godiva chocolate calendar as well. That means I’ll be posting a new video every single day until December 25! Smokey…
Book Review: The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams
The Dinosaur Artist by Paige Williams is an in-depth exploration of dinosaur bones; where they are typically found, how they’re formed, the best way to mount them, etc. Thankfully though, the book focuses more on the people behind the bones (or more accurately, fossils) rather than the dinosaurs themselves. Eric Prokopi is at the center…
Book Review: No Good Asking by Fran Kimmel
Full disclosure: Fran Kimmel is a good friend of mine. Luckily, I know she also writes amazing books too, so I was more than delighted to review her latest book No Good Asking. Her first novel The Shore Girl is sort of a cult classic in these parts, I’ve come across many people who list…
Book Review: The Bookshop of Yesterdays by Amy Meyerson
I’ve seen this book described as a cozy mystery by some, although I’d have to disagree with their label. Does some awful character die by murder and a lovely but bumbling detective solve the mystery of whodunnit? No, in fact it’s a sad book, a little too melancholy to have given me any ‘cozy’ feelings….
Book Review: Her Pretty Face by Robyn Harding
Before I read this book, I had seen a ton of buzz about it on my twitter feed, so I had pretty high expectations going into it. I won’t say I was disappointed by it, because I really did enjoy reading it; it was one of those books you kept wanting to read ‘just one…
Book Review: Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D. Barker
The big day is finally here! Halloween; the perfect time to scare yourself silly with a spooky book in one hand and a delicious chocolate bar (or ten) in the other. I indulged in some dark chocolate to accompany my foray into the dark arts with Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D. Barker. Yes-that Stoker!…
Halloween Video Review: The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson
I’m getting into the festive Halloween spirit here by reviewing a ‘spooky’ book by Craig Davidson: The Saturday Night Ghost Club. Notice the extra effort I’ve put into this video-I included Halloween decorations on my bookshelf! That’s about as crafty as I get unfortunately, but nonetheless here it is. I should have mentioned that this…
