I’m a sucker for a beautiful reading nook, the kind of place that just begs you to curl up with a book and lose yourself. I could see myself loving all of these! In a perfect world, I’d have two reading spaces, one indoor and one outdoor. The outdoor one would have a big round, […]
For a long time, DNFing wasn’t something I even considered. I always finished a book, whether I loved it or hated it. Then someone asked me why, and I didn’t have an answer. Why was I so intent on finishing a book I might not even enjoy. As she pointed out, life is too short […]
I always joke that I must be on a watchlist somewhere, thanks to my internet search history. It’s made worse by the fact that I’m a multi-genre writer. In an average day, I could research any one (or more) of the following… a wide range of serial killers decomposition rates in varying situations the industry […]
In Part I, I shared “category” quotes… funny quotes, thought-provoking quotes, quotes that gave me all the feels. In Part II, I shared quotes from some of my favorite thrillers. In Part III, I’m going to share some quotes from my favorite dystopian reads! I love, love, LOVE this genre!! “All my life I’ve been […]

I love a fun book tag, and what better one than a coffee-themed tag! 1. Black: Name a series that’s tough to get into but has hardcore fans. I could not get into Fifty Shades of Grey. I didn’t even get past the first three chapters of the first book. I know a lot of […]
Reading slumps are, for me, a bizarre phenomenon. I love to read in an almost obsessive way. I read multiple books at a time, multiple genres. So the idea of a reading slump is weird to me, even when I’m in one. I mean, how could someone as crazy about books as I am have […]
Last month, I shared some “category” quotes… funny quotes, thought-provoking quotes, quotes that gave me all the feels. Today I thought I’d share some quotes from some of my favorite thrillers! “People thought silence meant the absence of noise, and sometimes it did, but other times it screamed so loudly she had to fight not […]
I just started writing a new book, another thriller. But this one is going to be very different from Last Night. Less psychological thriller and more suspenseful thriller. It’s tentatively called Paper Flowers, about a successful crime novelist. Quinn Logan has built herself a successful career by fictionalizing the murder and mayhem of the world […]
I’m sucker for a good quote! It could be funny, or it could hit me in the feels, or it could make me think about something differently. The “funny” category… This one is from one of my favorite fantasy reads. “In a calm, clear voice, she suggested that the wyrsa in question could do several […]
My favorite thing about books is escapism, being able to visit far away places. In my past life, I was a linguist and anaylst in the Military Intelligence Corps (NO JOKES!!) in the US Army. The Army taught me two languages… Polish and Vietnamese. Vietnam is a beautiful country, the culture just as beautiful. It’s […]
I love a great domestic thriller, and The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher is a great one! It’s got all the twisty turns, insane character dynamics, and storylines that would make it a fantastic movie. So I thought it would be fun to create a dream cast for it! Buy the book: Amazon | B&N | KoboGoodreads She has […]
