Book Review: A Quick Bite by Lynsay Sands

A Quick Bite by Lynsay Sands
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I tried to get into this more, I mean vampires…that’s my jam. But, for some reason had a hard time with the recording of this book (the narrator was not the best and the breaks were not segued very well) and the storyline was just so… dare I say, predictable? I did however like the way she described how vampires came to be. It was most likely a 3.5 for me, but I rounded up. I will end up reading book two since it's by another narrator, and we'll see if that makes a difference. And, besides, vampires... a hot doctor vampire. *sigh*

Everything I Wanted to Know About Writing I Learned From My Cats

As an insomniac, I have tons of time to think about writing (when one should be writing) and what they have learned, and how. I honestly think that my cats have taught me most of what I need to know. 1. Steady and cunning get you what you want. If you don’t have a cat and have never seen them stalk a fly/ladybug/moth you’ve missed out on a lifetime of lessons. They will sit as still as can be and stalk that thing till it’s just in reach. And eight times out of ten, they get what they are going after. Just like writing! You have to be steady in your course and you will achieve your goals. You have to make sure that you keep the eye on the prize. If you don’t get it the first time keep on keeping on, it WILL happen. 2. Know who you can lean on. Cats are particularly finicky over who they will ‘sit’ with. My cat Earl can walk up to me, nudge the laptop from my lap, curl up, and fall asleep. He only stays there long enough for a cat nap, but he knows that he can do it and won’t be chasti...

Author Interview: Tamra B. Orr

Hey, everybody... today we have with us the wonderful and lovely Tamra B. Orr. We’re going to roast her, toast her... I mean interview her. What is the first book that made you cry? I think it was called Escape to Warsaw. I read it when I was in elementary school and it was my first introduction to war and what happened. I read it over and over and cried every single time. What made you read it over and over? It was such a foreign way of thinking to me–why hate a person just because of where they lived or what they did/did not believe? I was trying to absorb the concepts, I think. Does writing energize or exhaust you? Both. Since writing is my profession, I have due dates, difficult editors, and unreasonable demands that can exhaust me. However, when I am writing and it is all coming together (or I am writing letters!) it energizes me. (For those of you who aren’t in the know, Tamra is a pen pal too! And a damn good one if I do say so!) What is your writing...
