Home again, home again….
Okay, okay no that’s not my home. Isn’t it COOL though? All randomness aside, I’m happy to report that I am finally home! Surrounded by my family, our comfy house, and all the ornaments that I remember unwrapping and decorating with when I was little. It’s such a good feeling :). I’ll still be here on my blog, still posting in downtime but I can’t believe how much has been lifted off of me just by entering this house! It’s that warm and fuzzy feeling that only comes along with the holidays, coupled with the pure love of a family.…

In which I sleep my life away…
When I’m sick, I sleep. A lot. Hours and hours of my life the last two weeks have been spent with my eyes closed, and dreams filling my head. Part of me feels that I should feel guilty about this. The other part kicks it really hard, ties that part up, and stuffs him in a box, because hey….it’s my life right? Why is it that we always feel guilty when we’re doing something good for us or that we enjoy. Why is there that part of us that keeps thinking “I could be doing something better right now.” that…

Truth be told, I’ve read few of these posts already…and well…let’s just say that they remind me why I love this holiday season so…

Spotlight on: Sandra Brannan
Q&A with Sandra Brannan author of In the Belly of Jonah *** 1) Tell us about In the Belly of Jonah and the other books in the series. My novel In the Belly of Jonah is a fast-paced mystery with what I hope readers will find to be a likable protagonist and an intricately woven narrative brimming with bizarre yet believable twists. The first in a series, the book lays the groundwork for Liv Bergen, amateur sleuth, and her budding romantic interest in FBI Agent Streeter Pierce. Set in the mountain states, the Liv Bergen and Streeter Pierce adventures are…
