Dream Big
Read More: Dream BigPrompt word of the week: Dream. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I was thinking about how his “I Have a Dream” speech is very popular, but I don’t think I’ve ever read one of his books. So I looked up a few of his titles, and these three stood out to…
New Format Release & Featured Excerpt: Tempest by Jamie DeBree
Read More: New Format Release & Featured Excerpt: Tempest by Jamie DeBree“Take off the blindfold, sweetheart.” He turned and watched as she pulled the fabric up off her head, and blinked her eyes open. Shadows danced over her face from the waterfall just ahead reflecting light back into the tunnel. “Wow. Now we know why this end is hidden,” she said, stepping around him to walk…
The Heart and the Triangle, and Writing Prompts
Read More: The Heart and the Triangle, and Writing PromptsWednesday is Valentine’s Day, in case you missed the swath of pink, white and read hearts all over the place lately. I was thinking about love triangles the other day, and how there always seems to be one, even if one or two of the people in the triangle are unaware of the other’s feelings.…
Love vs. Romance & February Writing Prompts
Read More: Love vs. Romance & February Writing PromptsIt’s February, which means hearts and flowers all over the place, whether you’re into that sort of thing or not.

Bookish Gifts & Weekly Writing Prompts
Read More: Bookish Gifts & Weekly Writing PromptsI think we can safely say the holiday season is well upon us now, and many of us are probably trying to figure out what to wrap up for our loved ones (or the office gift exchange). It’s not always easy to get readers a book, especially if they’re the sort (like myself) who buys…
Movies First & Weekly Writing Prompts
Read More: Movies First & Weekly Writing PromptsMovies First I think most readers will agree that it’s rare when a movie based on a book is better than the book. It’s because a movie has to condense so much story into such a relatively short amount of time that scenes have to be cut or abridged, and a lot of the detail…

Happy New Year!
Prompt word of the week: “Cheese” You may have noticed some changes here and there to the site (small, but the product catalog is now much improved aesthetically), and we’ve been doing a lot of work in the background, not just to this site, but to our author sites as well. The beginning of a…
