Just like the unfamiliar world of titles pulled me into Abby Fischer’s life in the first book of the Arcadia Chronicles, the controversy of the work of the public defender’s mental health unit captured my attention in the sequel. In book one, “Fee Simple Conditional”, Abby navigates through the maze of land records in “Dependable Title”... Continue Reading →
‘For the love of all that’s fanged and holy’, I confess that I’m totally addicted to the Blood Moon, Texas Shifters series by Kat Kinney. It is my comfort read, and I can’t get enough of it.

Lately, I’ve turned back into a ‘before bedtime’ reader. There simply aren’t enough hours in... Continue Reading →

Just like, one might think, Flo’s active life. No matter the positivity regarding the age that had been flourishing in that old world... Continue Reading →
