After three days, I've finished, "No Place for a Dame," by Connie Brockway. As far as a period romance, this is a very solid choice. There are no glaring issues with characters or plot development, and the only major writing criticism I have with the decision to use Astrological instead of Astronomical, even though … Continue reading Review-No Place for a Dame (Spoilers)

I may do that for future stories, but … Continue reading Selection Sunday

Although I love writing, editing is just something else entirely. I feel like it's almost a … Continue reading Solid Sunday…So Far
