A couch potato is someone who spends a great deal of time watching television, but what is a mouse potato? What is the dagger used to deliver the death blow to a severely wounded person called? The earliest documented use of thinko was in the 1990s. What does this word mean?
Always being attracted to spooky things, even as a child, is what led me to write horror. My first book was a Christian fantasy with horror elements.

Cats spend most of their day asleep. It’s one of the things they are so good at. They use much of their time sleeping to restore their energy before the next hunt even if it’s chasing the laser, rubber ball, or catnip toy for our domesticated friends.
Andrua, the main character in 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎, and Robin Hood are both heroic although they are heroes of radically different kinds. Probably the most significant difference between the two is their status. Andrua, princess of D’Land, hides her true identity in the beginning of the novel but is still a legal authority of her people.
From the first page, this book put me in mind of Robin Hood, but there is so much more to the story than stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Danger, love, friendship, bewitchment, and betrayal fill the pages of this book and keeps you on the edge of your seat while reading.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅 was inspired by a Time Team TV special on Doggerland that I watched in 2007, but there’s a long road of research between a popular TV program and a novel based on actual science.
This historical fantasy novel takes you back to the Mesolithic Period. Phelan, Tara, and Edan are each members of different tribes of people. The land of these tribes, Doggerland, still connects England to France, but now their land is being overtaken by water.

𝐴 𝑆𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟, a culinary travel adventure book, is a read I’ll never forget! The descriptions of the villages and the scenery make you feel as though you are experiencing Italy and its beauty yourself. The details given about customs and ways of life allows you to see into the daily lives of those who live there. The food they eat is described in so much detail that you can almost taste it yourself. The last part of the book is filled with recipes from each of the chapters in the book so you can make these dishes and experience them yourself.
Who was the real Daniel Boone? Was he the pioneer and explorer who wore a coonskin cap in the television show that bears his name historically accurate? I watched the reruns of 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒𝑙 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑒 when I was a child. History intrigued me, but at the time, I didn’t realize how historically inaccurate the show was. And let’s be honest. At that time, I probably didn’t care.
A superstition is a belief or notion that is not based on reason or knowledge. Most superstitions result from ignorance, fear of the unknown, or trust in magic or chance. Will saying “white rabbit” on the first day of the month bring you good luck for the rest of the month? What is supposed to happen if an owl gets inside your house?
Bringing characters to life gives me the ability to live a hundred lives with no boundaries, limits, or rules.
Bea Walker’s life is about to be turned upside down.
