Welcome back,
It has been a long time since I hadn’t written an article this late. For the past two years, I have had my blog articles prepared at least a month in advance. However, as I am writing this, it is now March fifth, and I have virtually nothing ready in terms of content.
That being said, I still managed making some progress over the last month.

Welcome back!
This month’s book review is another foray into the romance genre. I was never a big fan of love stories, so I decided to make the experience less jarring by finding a novel that had something I could relate to. Being a dog owner, I was attracted to the following novel; Protection Detail by Shirley McCoy.

Today we have something special; an interview with published writer, the
lovely Hope White. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to
interview an author who I’ve had the joy of reading.
I approached Ms. White back in December, shortly after having read her
book, Covert Christmas.

Welcome back!
February has arrived and Mother Nature can’t seem to make up her mind; some days the weather is mild and others it is still way below freezing. We have seen everything from rain to snow to ice pellet.
However, this gives us the perfect excuse to stay inside and hide from the cold, snuggling up with a loved one on the couch. This seems appropriate, since St-Valentine's day is Ozmosishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00112951606037760485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8807835329085990120.post-4423524353148380262018-01-22T08:16:00.000-05:002018-01-29T11:41:46.671-05:00By the Book - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

In my latest installment of By the Book, I will be reviewing a
novel from the Harry Potter franchise. The book in question is “Harry Potter

Tiffany.
This will be the first time I read a Harry Potter book. It’s a shocker,

Welcome back,
Books with Christmas themes can be hard to find, so when I came across ‘’Covert Christmas’’, I thought to myself it might make a good book review for December. So here is my review of this novel, written by suspense writer Hope White.
I found this novel in a used bookstore while I was shopping around for reading material.

Welcome to BOOTCAMP!
As I mentioned in my original post, I have been writing content for Missing Worlds Media, a volunteer based company, for the past three or so years. While working with the Composition Department, I was asked to come up with some writing games for future writers as well as for our fan base. These exercises are what originally gave me the idea to create this blog.
