Standing Up for the Little Known Author

Today, I’m writing about standing up for the little known author (LKN).  I think I have a bit of knowledge about the subject because, well, I am one.   For the past two years I have been a reader, writer, and beta of Twilight fan fiction.  It’s funny, because I had no idea such a thing existed before Twilight. ...

Reading Mojo

I got my reading mojo back! I lost it for awhile, a few months that felt like years, but it finally returned and I’ve been reading every weekend for the past few weeks.
