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.

What I learned from my first trip through Italy was to listen to the people, be respectful of their culture, read up on their local history and be open to the joys of a world you have never before encountered.
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.

My brother read my third poetry book, 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦, recently. His response? “That book is kind of dark, man.”
What is poetry? This art form isn’t willing to be defined, labeled, or nailed down. Its words are the chiseled marble of language. It is a paint-spattered canvas, but the poet uses words instead of paint, and you are the canvas.

The vampires in The Second Species series do a lot of things—they have wings, they fly, they fall in love, they drink blood, they kill—but they do not sparkle. Since they live and walk among humans, sparkling would be a dead giveaway. Marek even owns a restaurant in New Orleans. But not all is well in their world.
The fact that the publication of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 coincides with National Awareness Day of Human Trafficking on the 11th of January is a coincidence. But it does draw attention to this important date, and to one of the most horrific crimes this world has to offer—human trafficking and modern-day slavery.
