Review: Finding Freida by Amanda Larkman


A cozy mystery like no other. The characters and what they’ve had to learn throughout the book was well thought out and the story was well written. 

Angie is distraught when she finds Mrs. B’s room all disheveled. When the police won’t help Angie turns to the one person she can remember has a connection to the missing woman. 

Penny isn’t happy to be dragged around and disrespected after what just happened with work. Will Angie alienate Penny and lose the only help she has while the clock keeps ticking after Frieda’s abduction?

Author Interview: Nicole Orr

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all. Today we are going to meet a lovely person in my life, Nicole Orr. This woman is not only a writer, but a force to be reckoned with. Let's jump on in and get to know her a little better. Hey Nicole, what do you write? A while back, I got my feet wet in the publishing world by having more than 18 nonfiction children’s books released through the Purple Toad Publishing House, but alas, the topics, length, pictures and deadlines were all chosen for me. I’ve been a writer for several online blogs too, including pop culture and travel blogs. My true passion, however, is fiction. One of my favorite quotes of all time is Victor Hugo’s, “A writer is a world trapped inside a person.” I’ve been writing stories since I was in my early teens, but it really took off when I discovered the worldwide writing event National Novel Writing Month where you write a 50,000 word novel in the 30 days of November. While I have participated in that 18 times, I ...

Introduction to Contemporary Romance

   Contemporary romance literature spans an expansive landscape. Within it are various subgenres of romance literature, but contemporary romance stands out as being vivid and life-affirming for readers today and an eclectic tapestry woven with current experiences, cultural shifts, and relatable narratives. Unlike historical or fantasy romances, which take readers back in time or provide magical realms, it captures contemporary society dynamics while discussing issues relevant to 21st-century audiences while exploring relationships complex enough to involve themes like self-discovery, personal growth, or love in an ever-evolving world. Contemporary romance stands apart from its counterparts because of its modern setting and emphasis on realism. Characters in contemporary romance depict vulnerabilities and strengths reflective of real-life experiences, often encountering dilemmas that mirror real-world scenarios ranging from career pressures and personal aspirations to bala...

Well, hell... I've been gone too long

  Well, hell... it's been so long since I wrote a blog I'm not sure where I would even start. How about I start with, "I'm sorry!" Writing has been the sole focus of my writing for quite a while and I get to where I say to myself, "Self, what's the point? It's not adding words to the book." And while writing, I fall down a rabbit hole and forget half of what I'm supposed to do. So, I've decided to structure my day a little differently.  Butt crack of dawn - start writing pen pal letters 11:00 am - eat lunch (I eat like a little kid! Right now mini corn dogs and Veggie Tots are my favorite.) and listen to an audio book. 12:00 pm - Get my crap in order and get ready to actually write instead of think about writing. Sometimes I'll start a writing sprint with my dear friends at the Thriving Authors Academy (waves furiously at everyone 👋) Most Wednesdays I will attend my Mastermind group with Author Ever After until 1:00 pm. 1:00 pm ...
