Book Review: Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
Jumping back into the world of Shadowhunters is very cathartic for me. I love this world and these characters as if they were more than words on a page and in many ways, it feels like a sort of reunion even though she introduces new characters. The stories of their predecessors or their progeny (dependingContinue reading “Book Review: Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare”
Book Review: Lucid Dreaming by Sofia Visconti
When I received the opportunity to review this book on Booksirens.com, I was excited. I previously knew very little about lucid dreaming, though reading this introductory book, I realized that I have, in fact, experienced it before. This book is a quick and great superficial start for someone just starting to explore lucid dreaming. HavingContinue reading “Book Review: Lucid Dreaming by Sofia Visconti”
Oh Hey! It’s been a minute…
April was a heavy month for me. Why? I wish I knew. In the past month and a half, I have only managed to write one chapter, with exceptional difficulty. My creative well was nearly dried up and to be honest, the world and everything going on as of late has been profoundly vexing. ItContinue reading “Oh Hey! It’s been a minute…”
Book Review: Celtic Mythology & History by History Brought Alive
History is not everyone’s cup of tea, and while I struggle to relate, I can appreciate that if you don’t love it (like I do), it can be challenging to read about it, study it or even think about it. The issue is, history is so important. It tells us where we’ve come from. ItContinue reading “Book Review: Celtic Mythology & History by History Brought Alive”
Book Review: Raven Goddess (Going Deeper with the Morrigan) by Morgan Daimler
This is the second book by Morgan Daimler on The Morrigan that I have read, and once again it was an absolute pleasure. I have been reading a lot of non-fiction lately, which I normally find daunting because I use reading as my primary means of escape from this planet we live on. Occasionally though,Continue reading “Book Review: Raven Goddess (Going Deeper with the Morrigan) by Morgan Daimler”
Book Review: The Morrigan (Meeting the Great Queens) by Morgan Daimler
I came across Daimler’s book while I was researching the Irish Goddess of War and Prophecy, The Morrigan, for the fantasy novel I am writing. As an author, my personal belief is that while a certain amount of creative liberty should be permitted if not at least expected in fiction, I want to be theContinue reading “Book Review: The Morrigan (Meeting the Great Queens) by Morgan Daimler”
Book Review: The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey
I came across this little book while doing some research for my current WIP. There is such a thing as creative license when you write fiction, especially fantasy, but for me, I want to write fantasy stories with respect to the cultures of those people that I include or perhaps bring focused attention to, inContinue reading “Book Review: The Fairy Bible by Teresa Moorey”
✨March 2023 Writing Update✨
Before Christmas of 2022, I finished writing my first novel. I had self-edited it to the point that I felt comfortable distributing some advanced reader copies to get some feedback. That way, I could do one more round of self-edits from the feedback before I sent it to my professional editor. Somewhere around two dozenContinue reading “✨March 2023 Writing Update✨”
Book Review: Equanimity by John Elliott-White
I was recently sent a copy of this book by the author and asked to give a review. I have read multiple books in the self-help/self-improvement genre and the premise of this book, to combine what we know of neuropsychology and the wisdom of the Ancients was very intriguing to me. I love philosophy. IContinue reading “Book Review: Equanimity by John Elliott-White”
