Literary journey of an office career escapee
I was looking forward to the Page Chewing episode featuring two amazing authors from Canada, Anne M. Smith-Nochasak and A-M Mawhiney. I’ve read all their books, and I knew that what they’d share would be deep and insightful. I wasn’t disappointed in my expectations. On the show, they discuss things that interest me as an...

My son often asks me why I don’t have a channel on YouTube. And I ask him how many followers and views his favourite Minecraft bloggers have. He replies: “Millions.” And that, in short, is the reason why I don’t add to my already enormous list of things that I do as an indie author,... Continue Reading →
A satisfying conclusion to the main plotlines and a promise of new exciting adventures – all against the backdrop of immersive world-building. This is what the readers will get from “An Alliance of Fire and Steel”, book three of the Dulcea's Rebellion trilogy by Laura Maybrooke. This high fantasy romance series is a real treat...

I’m already about one-third into the third book of the series, so I’ll keep this review short and to the point. All three books have already begun to mix in my head in one completely engrossing narrative, so I’ll do my best not to give out any spoilers. “Down A Darker Path”, book two of... Continue Reading →
I devoured this book in a few sittings. Like other books by this author, “The Mysterious Disappearance of Mr. Darcy” has everything that Jane Austen fans crave to find in “Pride and Prejudice” variations.

A Silver Elf, an enchantress, a dragonmistress of the golden dragons clan fits the role well. “Immortal Defiance”, book one of the Dulcea's Rebellion series by Laura Maybrooke, begins...

Between fighting the stubborn pharyngitis and trying to keep up with our family’s challenging schedule, the talk on Briggs on Books was hanging by a thread until almost the last moment. Moreover, at that last moment, high tech issues threatened to cancel everything. But all is well that ends well. We discussed the topics I... Continue Reading →
I'm beyond excited that my new book "Broken Chances" has received a 5-star review from Readers' Favorite. "Broken Chances is a work of fiction in the romance, slice-of-life, and women’s fiction subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience and contains some reference to emotional and physical abuse, but no graphic content.... Continue Reading →
Grateful for a 5-star review of "The Accidental Cop" from Readers' Favorite. "The Accidental Cop by Eve Koguce is criminal fiction at its best. Roberts Bergs is a cop in 1990s Latvia, struggling to make ends meet. He’s cold, tired, hungry, and just trying to survive each day. Despite his struggles, he has a dream... Continue Reading →
It was a chore to read this book. Yet, after I finished it, I felt as if I had lived among the troubled Compsons rather than read about them. The stream-of-consciousness narrative isn’t for every reader to digest and to enjoy. And when it’s a stream of a person with a mental disability and the... Continue Reading →
