I live on a small island just off a larger island off the coast of North America where I write romance for the GLBTQ community and the folks who love them. I also write sci-fi and fantasy/adventure for a wider audience.

What's my super power? I'm a storyteller, an entertainer. As you begin to read my words the stress of the day, nay, the stress of everyday, begins to magically fade away. Transported into another world, your worries and troubles are forgotten for a time as you share adventures with me and my friends. My art, my power is as old as humankind, for the magic of the storyteller has ever been with us and it will always be.

I am a spiritual seeker, dog trainer, official Reiki Master and Interior designer, who has turned her hand to writing. I am also an avid chess player, not a great one, but an avid one. I bake, I build, I knit, and I tell great stories.

I have roamed far and wide for over sixty years in this realm, and I have seen much; some I wish I had not, and a great deal that I would love to see again. Some days I feel like Bilbo Baggins, for I have been there and come back again.

No, I haven't written a book about my wanderings, at least not yet, but much I have experienced, observed, learned, surmised, or imagined, is woven into the tales I have written.

Folks, if you take the time to write a review for me, please leave me a way to contact you so I can thank you properly. If you prefer to remain anonymous, then let me thank you right now. Thanks!!

• The Temple on Dec. 28, 2011
  
  Hi folks, we’re almost at a new year, so it is time to start something new. Santa (K) gave me a KOBO for Yule so I started my e-reader career with a book by Heather Adkins. Heather is a relatively new young writer. This lady has a world of potential. Her book is called The Temple. When I started reading The Temple two things struck me. First, the author kept shifting into description which made the story hard to follow. Second, she has a delightful turn of phrase that made me want to keep going. By the time I was ten pages in, I was hooked. The Temple is a story of a young woman leaving home and country to start a new life. That life comes with new challenges, friends, lovers, and desires. I won’t spoil the story by telling you about it, but I will tell you the characters are great and easy to identify with, both beautiful, perfect, and yet flawed and familiar. The Temple is an early effort for Heather and it shows great promise. This young lady is an author to watch, she is destined for great success.
  
• Karma's A Bitch on Jan. 10, 2012
  
  Karma’s a Bitch I just finished reading Karma’s a Bitch by Shannon Esposito and couldn’t wait to tell you all about it. I get excited when I get a chance to read a new author’s work, for I am often surprised and delighted with the work. Karma is no exception. Shannon is a fine storyteller, and has a world of potential. Her style is easy to read, flows nicely, and her characters are great. Darwin is truly a girl after my own heart. An innocent soul lost in a reality she doesn’t truly understand, Darwin never-the-less manages to survive and thrive, drawing a unique cast of characters to her side. Karma reminds me of a powerlifter I used to know, big, strong, loyal, and all too often underestimated. When Darwin and Karma team up to solve a mystery nobody wants solved, they are unstoppable. Their sheer determination will force the issue to reveal itself. This book is a delightful little mystery, with an engaging cast of characters, holds a number of twists and turns, and a surprise ending. I thought I had the crime figured out, but nope, surprise ending. Karma’s a Bitch truly left me wanting more adventures from these characters. How about it Shannon, any chances?

• A Breath of Hope on Feb. 24, 2012
  
  Book Review: A Breath of Hope Hi folks, it’s time for another book review. This time I want to tell you about A Breath of Hope by Robert E. Taylor. I really like reading the work of new authors. Sometimes you find a real gem, and this book is one of those. The hero, Hamilton, reminds is a rather practical man, but a man with limited patience. He’s a likeable fellow in spite of himself. Against his better judgement, he accepts a post as chief of security on a long range space ship. Hamilton recruits a crew of two, a professional thief and a battle scarred mercenary. Together they try to solve the mysteries and intrigue aboard the ship. It is not an easy task and it keeps you guessing right up to the end. This is a great story and these characters cry out for more action. Is there a sequel in the works? I hope there is. Really good stories deserve five stars and A Breath of Hope gets them.
  
• Rojuun on March 02, 2012
  
  It is time for another book review and this time I want to tell you about Rojuun by John H. Carroll. I quite enjoyed this little flight of fantasy. Rojuun is John first book, and also the first in a three part series. John is a natural storyteller, and sets up an interesting cast of characters. There is the rogue thief, the ghost of a long dead knight, the dragon in human form, and the naive country girl with a serious talent for magic. John sends this unlikely troupe out into a magical forest filled with druids, abandoned cities, castles, and underground cities built by alien creatures. This is a rollicking good tale with dangers lurking around every corner for our adventurers. Great fun. The only rough spots here are the unpronounceable names and occasionally a little too much description, but these things are minor. I give this five stars for a debut novel.
  
• Time's Enemy on April 03, 2012
  
  Last weekend I read Time’s Enemy by Jennette Marie Powell. I really recommend you read this book. It is a great tale of time travel and the consequences of messing with the past. Jennette is a fine writer with a master’s touch at keeping up the tension. (You have to remember to breathe) Time’s Enemy is Jennette’s first novel, or so I believe. This bodes well for the future for she will surely get better and, I for one, can’t wait for more adventures of Charlotte and Tony. Great work Jennette
  
• A Patchwork of Perspectives Vol 1 on April 25, 2012
  
  I recently picked up a copy of A Patchwork of Perspectives Vol. 1 by Alberta Ross. This book is a collection of short stories, vignettes of life’s moments told from different perspectives. The best word I can use here is, delightful. I loved them all and I quite love Alberta’s voice, her style. I truly enjoyed the book, but the highlight for me was her description of a dog pack in action. I live with a pack of dogs, and know exactly what she described looks like. Wonderful. The best part here is, you can read a story in a quick break. Got a few moments to kill, read a story.
  
• Shrilugh: Book One of the Shrilugh Saga on Aug. 26, 2012
  
  Hi folks, today I’ve got a book review for you. The book is Shrilugh (Shree-loo) by Myndi Shafer. Myndi is a new author and this is her first book, I think. I can tell we’ll hear lots about her for many years to come. Her style is reminiscent of Jane Austen with a dash of Stephanie Myers. Shrilugh is a rollicking adventure story, yet the author has a firm grasp on the emotional turmoil brought on when life insists you leave childhood behind and grow up. I found it fascinating to watch as Ayden struggles with releasing a past she can never re-gain and facing a future that terrifies her. If you like the Twilight series you will love this too. I have only one small complaint about Shrilugh. The ending gave no relief, not even a small respite for Ayden. We know going in this is part one of a trilogy, but in the style of Tolkien, the story just cuts off leaving you hanging. I much prefer a J.K.Rowling style where you get some solution at the end of each book. Having said that, Shrilugh is a real page turner and I will be purchasing the next two installments as soon as they hit the e-shops. I give Shrilugh four stars out of five. Great work Myndi. Well done.
  
• Broken Faith on Nov. 09, 2012
  
  I grabbed this book for something to read on breaks. I wanted something I could easily put down and come back to later. Big mistake. I got drawn in and spent a pleasant evening curled up as I read it through. Diana has created an interesting world and a sympathetic set of characters. I truly enjoyed the story. Loved the ending.
  
• Stargate Aquarius: Starbase on Nov. 10, 2012
  
  I did enjoy this book, but I have to say, the author could have taken a bit more time to develop the characters; it would have made for a much better story. Still it was entertaining and if you're a hard core stargate fan like me, it is well worth a read.
