What’s Booktube? I’ll Share

I had no idea about this thing called Booktube until recently. I discovered it, and now I’m jumping on board! Okay, I hear you asking – what the heck is Booktube? That was my reaction a few months ago. I had no idea that on YouTube there was such a big community of readers, writers…
The Murder App (Ch 3)

“Detective Strong, nice to meet you.” The detective from cyber crimes shook Ella’s hand with a sweaty pump. She smiled through the grimace and subtly wiped her hand down her pants when he’d turned to her partner Steve. “You too, Detective Smith,” she replied as they sat across the conference room table.

Book Themes: Why, and What’s Mine?

Have you ever noticed that books tend to have themes? Everything we watch, read and consider has a theme. I’m not necessarily talking ‘Mother Goose’ but when you boil it down, you can usually see some common themes. Themes like Love Conquers All, Courage, Justice (that’s a biggie), X and countless others. They’re all there…

The information about Aaron, Tony, Sean, G and M is on this podcast episode, where more about the story is revealed through these introductions. Who are they?…
Pack My Bags, I’m Going Home

Okay. I tried my best, and nothing worked. That’s it, I’m done. It’s over. I give up. What? That can’t be right! Can it? It’s so easy when things don’t work out the way we wanted, or planed, to just pack our bags and move on with our lives – even if that’s our dream!…
